Nielsen Audio has released Day 2 of its monthly four day sweep of ratings in PPM markets.

Today’s releases include Washington DC, Boston, Seattle, Miami, Phoenix, Detroit, Minneapolis, Tampa/St. Petersburg, Denver, San Diego, Baltimore, and St. Louis.

All the numbers can be found at RadioInsight.com/Ratings.

With this week’s January monthly, Nielsen has changed its methodology for the PPM surveys changing the listening credit threshold from five minutes within a quarter-hour to just three. The most noticeable change will be the increase in CUME for many stations.
