J1 reports April, 2010 results

April brought a shower of new listeners to J1 as we saw a very significant increase in overall Total Listening Hours (TLH). J1’s overall ASL rating (see explanation below)) had soared this past month from 14.81 in March to 16.27 this month. ASL for Michiasa has substantially improved, especially on the weaker Monday (Sunday in the USA) timeslot. The growth in Europe is evident due to the rising amount of listening between 9AM and 5PM CET (overnight in the USA) and is responsible for filling in some of the “slumps” previous month’s results have experienced.

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 broadacst at one time. We find the ASL to be a much more effective measurement than just counting listening hours. To detemrine 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!
