LOS ANGELES — Our three-part series of comprehensive overviews of June 2016 PPM results concludes with triple A, also known as "album alternative" or "adult album alternative."
Previous June 2016 ratings summaries covered alternative (Wednesday, 7/13), and rock (Thursday, 7/14).
Of the three rock genres, triple A has the lowest average 6+-share (2.37, versus 3.18 for alternative and 4.15 for rock).
With 80% of its qualifying base ranking between #11 and #20 (6+, June 2016), triple A outlets tend to finish fourteenth (#14.20). Rock's average is tenth (#9.93) and alternative is thirteenth (#13.08).
The same parameters used for the alternative and rock overviews constitute the following triple A scoreboards: Facilities must appear in the top 20 in a PPM market (6+, June 2016).
Given that Nielsen Audio only releases audience estimates for stations that subscribe to its services, ratings stats in this exclusive RadioInfo triple A analysis are limited to stations that pay Nielsen Audio for its data.
