radio insight ratings

Here's what continuous encoding sounds like: Posted by harkerbosgroup on April 04, 2016 at 08:53 PM | Permalink WLTW’s 6.0 in July was its lowest 6+ share since November 2014. Nielsen publicly releases monthly PPM estimates for all subscribing encoded AM, FM, HD, and streaming radio stations that reach a “minium reporting standard” threshold. That’s the assurances I want to give you. Back when PPM was being developed engineers told Arbitron executives that the only way to make encoding work reliably was to make the encoding tones audible. Its +.1 (share) in August halted four successive declines with a cumulative loss of seven-tenths.

", The steady growth of the station over the past three years puts that “tumble” into perspective. A station using Voltair can lower the processing so that no artifacts are audible.

To make comparisons even more useful we can average three month’s numbers, a quarter’s worth of estimates.

What if the counts totaled five each minute but they weren’t the same panelists? As we pointed out at the time, AQH started growing well before the introduction of Nielsen’s enhanced encoding. By continuing to use this website you are giving consent to cookies being used.

PPM still picks winners and losers based on format encodability. Arbitron's Perverse PPM Panelist Incentives. (There was no change during the rest of the breaks.). (We’re ignoring editing artifacts like lead-in minutes in these examples to keep things simple. And Nielsen ratings can be just as wrong as all those polls that said Clinton would win the election.


After more than a decade of declining ratings, the trend reversed about the time that Voltair appeared.
Take some time to study it. Meanwhile WCBS-FM started in second, wobbled its way to first in July, and ended the four months right where it started. It’s an entire ecosystem. And Arbitron wasn't going to pass up the financial opportunity to exploit this vulnerability. One notable oddity is that four of the five stations spiked in 2015, only to fall again this year. And keep in mind that our illustration is total week 6+ shares.

We lost Jack and Jane for a minute, but they returned. Stations got all the listening credit they deserved. A much more useful way to look at monthly PPM trends is to look across the same months in previous years. We haven’t heard anything about solving measurement problems unique to streaming. Nielsen should come clean about why encoding had to be enhanced--and why so quickly?

So you will see a sense of continuous improvement cycles; tranferancy, showing what we’re working on in the R&D pipeline.

You are probably studying demos, and typical programming demos have a variance two or three times the 6+ numbers. In some respects radio is probably being hurt proportionately more than television because of the flaws in PPM measurement. Research has shown that listeners react negatively to noise: When activity between the auditory and emotional parts of the brain increases, it may cause a sensation of revulsion or disgust at a sound, as typically occurs to most of us when we hear somebody scrape chalk or their nails on a blackboard. The solid green line in the middle is the published share for each of four consecutive months.

Nielsen’s is a “one size fits all” solution. Radio benefits if AQH ratings go up regardless of whether the gains come from enhanced encoders, Voltair, or some combination of the two.

The first graph is a cume ranker of seven stations in one medium size PPM market.
