People are listening

FBI’s first chance to substantiate claims to its listenership came this week, with the station’s first listener poll, conducted by McNair Ingenuity Research. Of the 800 people aged 15+ across Sydney, in May/June 2007, six per cent had listened to FBI in the past week, 10 per cent in the past month. I’m not sure how that correlates to the standard commercial ratings, but it’s pretty exciting stuff – especially when you extend that six per cent out to 219,000.
I present a show at FBI, but this week it’ll be covered by Chad Gillard.
That's it. What Next?

thats a lot of people. were there any stats on how many of them were inner city dwellers and how many were in the suburbs? an age breakdown would be interesting too…

The figures aren’t directly comparable with the Nielsen ratings (used by the commercial stations) because Nielsen surveys Sydney’s ‘radio listening’ population 10+. For various reasons, FBI chose to go with 15+ and not limited to radio listeners. I hear there is further statistical information, but I doubt that would be publicised. I’d be really keen to see that too, though.
