IT'S ALL BRIGHT ABOUT COUNTRY
Read Mike Kinosian's interview with Jaye Albright from Inside Radio.

Whether your “book” is good or bad, it’s always the best strategy to be the one your local buying community, let alone national and regional buyers, know that they can count on for trustworthy analysis and perspective as ratings come out. Canada’s largest radio company’s research arm, Astral RadioPlus, shows that they understand this as they have been presenting monthly live webinars on PPM data results. Jaye Albright says that it's a good lesson in interpreting your own ratings.

There's ALWAYS 'the next book' just around the corner.  Are you ready?  Be certain by using our complete PRE-BOOK CHECKLIST (pdf)


THEN, AFTER THE BOOK
, use these techniques to do a thorough review of what happened and why.
