J1 releases listening statistics for May, 2010

Listening tapered off a little bit in May. This is expected as historically, TLH has declined in the summer months because of less people in schools and others taking summer holiday/vacation.

Starting at the end of May, we have removed the Retro Weekend. We will reevaluate the strategy of the show as we get near the end of summer.

WHAT IS ASL?
ASL is short for (average simultaneous listeners). It is a simple formula that we use to determine who many people are listening to the broadcast at one time. We find the ASL to be a much more effective measurement than just counting listening hours. To determine ASL, add up all of the hourly scores within a listening period and the divide by the number of hourly periods.

J1 thanks you for listening…. J1 LOVES YOU!
