29. Part of the faux numbers game
Faux network continually place listener numbers much higher that other networks. One reason is that they factor in the estimated numbers of people "watching" on all the TV they have placed for free in hotel, bank, and other public areas. They also make deals with retail outlets such as Sears and subsequently count the estimated number of shoppers as watching their channel. With all the rigged numbers it is easy for faux to claim the ratings they do.
The most misinformed audience in the world is also the most uninterested in what they are watching.
