SiriusXM recently fired a salvo at the radio industry. This has been discussed and dissected enough that we do not need to jump into the fray. Not long after that, Katz released a study showing that 74% of weekly satellite listeners also listen to AM/FM radio. And 34% do so on a daily basis!
While it’s comforting to know that SiriusXM has not siphoned off ALL of AM/FM radio listening, it certainly is consuming quarter hours we would rather keep on our side of the ledger.

I want to start off by saying this is not a blog post focused on bashing how radio ratings are created. The Nielsen PPM system is currency for our industry, and it is in all of our best interests to see it succeed.
That said, the system as currently constructed has its flaws. The biggest one is sample size. More sample would bring more consistency. However, the radio industry cannot afford to pay for this increase, and Nielsen certainly will not do it for free (nor should they). Read More…
