Radio ratings. Where do I find them? (for my dissertation)

[Pacifist Patriot]

About two weeks ago someone mentioned that AAR ratings in LA had gone up 40% while Rush had declined 14%. I need to get details and provide citation. It doesn't have to be that specific case. If anyone knows of a link to radio ratings showing AAR growth and the decline of right-wing bile I would be so grateful if you would post it.

I guess I should also verify that right-wing bile is on the decline. I have heard this claim repeatedly but haven't seen any figures to back it up. It would be really sweet if I can include this to support a claim I am making.

Thanks!

2. Here's a link that may help

It is to a WebSite about Washington DC TV and Radio:

www.dcrtv.com

It has links to a multitude of sites about Radio and TV including some that I beleive track ratings. I think many of them require a subscription though.

Good luck.

3. Check here

http://www.radioandrecords.com/RRRatings/

They only give the overall 12+ ratings (no daypart or demographic breakdowns), as Arbitron guards this information heavily. Breakdowns are available only to Arbitron subscribers.

4. which is why to check with a librarian..

...because the library might already subscribe to this stuff, or have it in some other, better form.
