How to increase ratings with zero marketing budget

AQH is based on Cume and Time Spent Listening (TSL or as it is known in PPM world – AWTE).

Drawing Cume to your radio station is hard and can be expensive.

Affecting TSL/AWTE is something you can impact right now.

How?

TSL/AWTE depends on two things:

• Occasions – How many times someone tunes in to your station.
• Durations – How long they listen each time.

The reality is that durations are relatively static. However, how often someone tunes into your station is a variable.

Getting someone to listen five days a week instead of four or visiting multiple dayparts is what is commonly referred to as recycling.

In order to develop a strategy for TSL/AWTE growth, you need to know the facts.

Our Instant Answer report can deliver those facts to you every month.

Knowing where tune-in is strongest can help you lead those listeners to softer dayparts. Each added occasion will increase your TSL/AWTE, which WILL increase your ratings.
