Latest ratings

Holy Cow!  Some stations had their legs cut off!!  If I'm reading the stats correctly, one station has lost almost 50% of it's 25 - 54 demo in less than a year.  In  this case it could be argued that the audience rejected the programming changes effected by the VP/GM and his toady PD.  So who gets the boot?  The no-talent hosts? Or the no- talent executives who hired them?  Or both?

It is to weep what big broadcasting has done. Witness the once-mighty CFPL.  (Not the station referenced above, btw)

Re: Latest ratings

If these results are due to the new Online Radio Diaries, the lower ratings tell the truth - the previous 'inflated' ratings were always fake.  It's ironic that since CBC RADIO airs no commercials, they won't lose money.

Mary Tyler Moore always says 'the numbers are looking pretty good' while tapping his pencil on the desk the day after the ratings book comes out.  I stopped listening to RB, so has he said that lately?

Re: Latest ratings

Assuming you meant John Moore, and also assuming that's more or less a quote (oxymoron alert!) why would he say that? It means less than nothing to the listener.  You know, the people we're trying to reach. It would evoke a "wtf"? and justifiably so.  As in "wtf are 'numbers'"?  Or more probably, "wtf is he talking about?" 

SFX: car button being hit.

I'm like you though -- he's waaaaaaaayyyyyyy too precious for my taste.
