radio ratings

Radio ratings are measurements that show how many people listen to a particular radio station and for how long. These ratings help determine a station's popularity and influence. Companies often conduct surveys or use technology to track listening habits, collecting data on demographics like age and location. Higher ratings can lead to increased advertising revenue, as sponsors want to reach larger audiences. Ratings are usually reported in a format like "Listenership," which reflects the percentage of the potential audience that tunes in, helping stations understand their market reach and tailor their content accordingly.
