[JPL] Arbitron's "Portable People Meter"

[Blaise Lantana]

On the people meters, most stations have found that people SAY they listen
more than they actually listen.  Lots of shake ups on this.  Minority
programming and jazz generally suffers because if you don't have a land line
you don't get a book or meter.  Some groups are discussing the problems with
Arbitron.  We'll see how it shakes out.  Philly's been doing it, anyone
there have any insight?

We are looking forward to receiving our first book by Arbitron's "Portable
People Meter". Like most radio outlets across the nation our over the air
audience is stable or slight diminished, the shrinking audience syndrome.
However, our web streaming numbers are way up, local, regional, national and
international as our TSL for streaming, our broadcast TSL  is holding
steadyi f not slightly increased despite slightly less audience numbers.

 

Some other markets around the country already have had results in test
markets, now Arbitron is going nationwide with its new measuring tool. Any
feedback?  Is this a good thing? Is it detrimental? Will it have any affect
on jazz and or public radio. I look forward to hearing responses by the
distinguished members of our forum who always keep up to date with the
latest developments and trends.

CLAUDIO RODITI: BRAZILLIANCE + 4

ONE OF THE MOST ADDED RECORDS.  Ready For Audition Now! 

A high water mark for everyone involved..., Roditi lets his chops fly in a
joyful noise that raises everyone's game. A must hear set for all
jazz/world/Brazil fans looking for that set that goes beyond Jobim.
Dominated by Roditi original tunes, this set opens the ears in fine fashion
giving the listener a lively, meaty, full blooded date to enjoy repeatedly.
Hot stuff.

CHRISTIAN HOWES with Roger Kellaway: HEARTFELT 

DEBUT @ 27 * 

Howes continues to win over fans ... and radio.  Please take a listen to
this exceptional player. Kellaway's piano playing is powerful and swinging
throughout. The interplay between Christian and Roger is amazingly intuitive
for a first encounter. Christian's trademark passion pours through his
instrument. Kellaway, an uber-mainstream pianist who has played with
practically every jazz violinist of note -- Stephane Grappelli, Joe Venuti,
Ray Nance, Jean-Luc Ponty, etc. -- says of the Berklee College of Music
teacher, ''I think Christian is a major talent''

''The balance Heartfelt achieves here between solo, group interplay and
orchestration is quite remarkable and leaves a lasting impression.''
