1938 Packard Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Nielsen sent me a radio listening log. Good, maybe my favorite station would get the hint that news and commentary listeners tune out when sporting events pop on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nielsen will also see which shows are least popular by the number of people tuning out at certain times. Maybe hockey will finally get canned next year in favor of something newsworthy.

What's there to laugh at? I don't know anybody who doesn't listen to radio. It's just the station choices that make the difference. There's the top 40 station, the country station, the local college station, two news and talk stations, the oldies station... Everybody picks one or two.

Zenigundam Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Sandy, I don't think you understand that network television programmers obsess over Nielsen ratings. They might never watch any of the shows on air, but they are, by and large, statisticians who are supposed to properly construct schedules that will optimize ratings.

Somehow I knew you were a Savage listener... I didn't mention him because I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt. He's arguably the worst of all the radio talkheads.

I listened to conservative radio regularly off and on for years, mostly so I could hear what they were saying. And he says, in particular, is a conspiracy and harmful ones at that, he actively dissuades people from taking psychiatric medications, floats the ideas that psychiatry is pseudo-science and evil and that psychiatrists are not to be trusted. Take herbal supplements instead. I know for a fact he is one of those god-awful vaccine conspiracists that says vaccines are evil and being foisted on kids to fuck them up (intentionally).
