The fourth and final day of Nielsen Audio’s PPM releases for the month bring Austin, Raleigh/Durham, Indianapolis, Nashville, Jacksonville, Milwaukee, Providence, Norfolk, West Palm Beach, Greensboro/Winston-Salem, Memphis, and Hartford.
All the numbers can be found at RadioInsight.com/Ratings.
This month we introduce an enhancement to our ratings pages with the addition of six charts on each market page and some right here on our recaps.
The ongoing lawsuit between Cumulus Media and Nielsen means that Cumulus Media’s stations are no longer publicly listed in the ratings.
