Now What?

As listening levels slowly increase, below are a few data points to monitor as we emerge from the holiday haze and move forward:

•  PUMM levels: These reveal how the recovery is proceeding. As routines return, radio usage should increase. Pay particular attention to Monday-Friday 6AM-10AM.
• AWTE (or TSL): Unfortunately, TSL continues to be depressed since the pandemic began.
• Proportionality: Track your key demos closely to make sure there is enough “there” there. (Remember: you don’t pay Nielsen for ratings, you pay them for sample.)

Fortunately, we at Research Director, Inc. offer several reports that make tracking these metrics simple.
