In college we had an NPR Jazz radio station on campus and a student-run grunge radio station (because it was in the state of Washington in the 1990s). One day in the mail I received notification from Arbitron that they wanted me to participate in the radio survey. Naturally, I was the crackpot in question, only because I told the truth: those were the only stations I listened to, and at very odd hours. When the ratings book came out, I represented some 13k people. And the drunk overnight DJ at the jazz station went from #17 to #2 in his time slot. > > On Fri, May 21, 2021 at 3:40 PM Kevin M. <drunkbastar...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> well… look at TV ratings, determined by a few thousand people. >> > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "TVorNotTV" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to tvornottv+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/tvornottv/CA%2B_fQPxO%2BqqwhFf6YTtSbRjWQMjnV9bhnuUAyZnE4edYaZbyBg%40mail.gmail.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/tvornottv/CA%2B_fQPxO%2BqqwhFf6YTtSbRjWQMjnV9bhnuUAyZnE4edYaZbyBg%40mail.gmail.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- Kevin M.
