| 518123 | 2007-01-21 23:54:00 | how do radio stations get their ratings? For tv some people have specials set-top boxes that send info for tv ratings,but what about radio? | lance4k (4644) | ||
| 518124 | 2007-01-22 01:13:00 | Each year, most radio stations in NZ have one or two survey periods, when for 6 weeks, a random amount of people are surveyed on their radio listening habits. These results are then collated and sent out to all radio stations. The results are fairly accurate with only a 2% margin of error. |

| 518125 | 2007-01-23 06:52:00 | how do they determine the error? just take really large samples and compare results? i wish The Rock would change to something under 80 FM, my jap import can't go any higher (and i'm not paying for a band expander) |

Band expanders aren't that expensive - around $40 from DSE. www.dse.co.nz |

| 518129 | 2007-01-23 07:36:00 | Bottom of the FM band is currently 87.5 mHz so I don't like your chances of getting down below 80. The lowest frequency commercially available is 88.6 mHz. Between 88.5 and 88.0 is a band occupied by half watt hobby stations. I think your band extender might be your only solution. Jim |

Jim Speaking from experience I think that you would not look back in 30-40-50 years and regret paying for the enjoyment. Life is for living now. Most people int hte West get carried away -- but don't think that you do. Misty :) |
