Note: Cume is defined as the number of different people who listen during a given daypart. Cume audience estimates for individual networks should not be added, because people who listen to more than one network will be counted twice. The reported audience for the total of the four networks is an unduplicated estimate of the number of different people who listened to one or more of the networks for a minimum of five minutes during the week.


* ESPN Radio was not part of the measured networks in June 2005.  They have been excluded from the comparison which shows an increase in AQH audience of 38 percent.
