How exactly are radio ratings figured? It must be awfully difficult to conduct surveys of radio listeners.

That's a good question. Someone with a lot more knowledge about this than me should chime in here, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that radio stations have some way of measuring the level of "signal reception" they get from their broadcasts. Something like this is particularly important because -- unlike television -- so many radio listeners are in cars or using other mobile devices.

So that's what did Air America in? I knew it. I just knew it.
