In addition to the Persons 12+ rankings, Arbitron issued rankings for Persons 18-49 (see table of top 20). (See Arbitron’s website for full RADAR 97 network rankings, including for Persons 25-54.)
The RADAR 97 June 2008 release is the third RADAR release to include both PPM and diary respondents. The PPM data included in the RADAR 97 release are from the Houston-Galveston and Philadelphia Metro markets for the Summer 2007, Fall 2007 and Winter 2008 surveys. For the Spring 2007 survey, diary data are included for those Metro markets. Because RADAR audience estimates are based on four quarterly surveys, the PPM respondents for Houston-Galveston and Philadelphia account for three-quarters of those Metro market’s audience estimates.
