What does RAM measure ? RAM measures anywhere consumed FM Radio (In Home, In Car, At Work/College/School & Elsewhere) Some Important Facts : • Universe – All People, 12+ yrs owning an FM device • Panel Respondents – All People, 12+ yrs owning an FM device
Lets now focus on some terms… • Reach & Cumulative Reach • Time Spent Listening • Average Audience • Target Audience Rating Point (TARP) • Share • Exclusive Audience
Reach • Number of individuals from the universe who are exposed to the medium or a station • Reach can be expressed in.. • Absolutes – Number of People OR • Percentage - %age of the Universe • Reach is always an unduplicated count of people
Calculating Reach UNIVERSE Reach% = (1/4)*100 = 25% Station A = (2/4)*100 = 50% Station B = (1/4)*100 = 25% Station C = (1/4)*100 = 25% Station D = (1/4)*100 = 25% Station E = (3/4)*100 = 75% Any Station
Cumulative Reach • Principle : Audiences accumulate over time • The number of individuals within the TG who are exposed to the medium/vehicle over a certain period of time
Reach (%) Duplication Cume Reach (%) Cumulative (Cume) Reach 6-615 : 25% -- 25% 615-630 :27% (15%) 37% 630-645 :23% (12%) 48% 645-700 :30% 0 61%
Time Spent Listening (T.S.L) • Average Amount of time spent by the listener of each station over the defined period of time • The value is expressed in HRS.MINS • Is a very strong indicator of ‘program / content’ strength
Time Spent Listening (T.S.L) UNIVERSE 0800:0814 0815:0829 0830:0844 0845:0859 0900:0914 T.S.L = (Total Time Spent by Listeners) = (15 x 6 = 90) = 0.3 (No. of Listeners) (3)
Average Audience • Represents the Audience listening to any quarter hour over the defined time period • Can also be computed as follows… • The audience for each individual quarter hour, added up and divided by the total number of quarter hours • Value represents people in 000’s • Is affected by a combination of both Reach & T.S.L
Average Audience UNIVERSE 0800:0814 0815:0829 0830:0844 0845:0859 0900:0914 Avg. Aud = (1/4+2/4+1/4+1/4+1/4) = (6/4) = 1.5 1.5 people were listening in any quarter hour that is picked
Target Audience Rating Point (TARP) • Represents the Audience, as a percentage of the universe, listening to any quarter hour over the defined time period • Is essentially, Average Audience (explained earlier) as a %age of the universe • Value represents people in %age • Is affected by a combination of both Reach & T.S.L
TARP% UNIVERSE 0800:0814 0815:0829 0830:0844 0845:0859 0900:0914 TARP% = Actual Time x 100 = (6x15) x 100 = 30% Total Time (20x15)
Shares • Represents the percentage of the total radio listening, in a given time period, that is tuned to a particular station. • Value represents listening share in %age • Is affected by a combination of both Reach & T.S.L
