Again, there are no "quarterly" reports that the Globe could receive because Nielsen does not produce a quarterly report of any kind for the PPM markets.
Nielsen does not "interpret" the specific ratings for anyone, even clients. They provide data. They provide online and in-market training for clients. Clients can contact them for "issues" like samples, quotas, complaints about apparent problems. But in 50 years of dealing with them they have never given opinion about competitive situations.
And Nielsen does not give demo and daypart information to the press.
Were the Providence station to get any listening in the Boston MSA, it would appear as a separate listing for the RI station. Only 100% simulcast (ads and content 24/7) can be combined with the originating station. Nielsen does not list them as a simulcast, so the numbers would not be combined under "Total Line Reporting". WVEI does not appear in the Boston book, either (it does appear in New Bedford and New London, though).
Nielsen releases 6+ PPM data for share and cume for subscribed stations. It does not give demos and dayparts to "the press". Any additional data is coming from a subscriber, and in violation of the terms of the Nielsen contact. Since you are referring to a "quarterly" report... which has not existed for a decade in Boston... I am concluding that your knowledge is similarly out of date.
I didn't say the reports come with interpretation.I said the Globe receives the reports every qtr and has access to a Nielsen representative who on various occasions had provided them with insight as to why EEI or the Hub would claim victory in the same demo or daypart. When both stations were neck and neck in the ratings for a while, the spin of the results was more important than the numbers. "out of market" relays is the Providence signal which has listeners in the Boston market. EEI has always included Providence in their promotional material.
Again,the Globe has access to the numbers and are allowed to quote it for newswriting purposes. We can do this all day but I'm telling you what I know.
However, Nielsen has not taken action vs. any of the news outlets to date,
nor has it taken action vs. any of the radio stations (or other "moles") for leaking share data.
Maybe you should get your owns facts updated.
From the Entercom press release:
As part of “The Greg Hill Morning Show” on WEEI, Hill will carry over much of his present content, along with the creation of new content for the sports talk format of WEEI. As part of “Patriots Monday,” Tom Brady’s in-season weekly interview on WEEI will also now be conducted by Hill. The show will also feature a monthly interview with Governor Charlie Baker (“Breakfast with Baker”), as well as many other staple benchmarks.
I did see earlier in this thread:
>>the first show on WEEI will be on July 29, but the last show on WAAF will be this Friday, July 19th.
So there will be no period where both stations run him to get people used to him going to 93.7...AAF just to music as of next Mon I guess
I have to sigh at this thread so quickly devolving into an argument about ratings and rules for the millionth time on these boards. We get it, there are restrictions. People are going to ask anyway, maybe just move on...
I must say this move by WAAF has been needed for such a long time. When I moved to Phoenix 14 years ago, the show had been stale for quite a while. I was pleased to find that they had added the excellent Danielle when I moved back here last year, and that Mike was back on the show. Otherwise, it has been really difficult to listen due to Greg and LB mailing in the same routine over and over. About as edgy as a bowling ball. Danielle, go find yourself something better, you deserve it!
I was also disappointed to find how far away from a good active rock format WAAF had strayed. Comfortably Numb was probably the first tune I heard when I went to 107.3...whaaa? They should take a long hard look at KUPD in Phoenix and Holmberg's morning show, it's top notch and the station programming is actual rock music.
I kept expecting to hear bike horns and cuckoo clocks.Hillman AM show sounds like a morning zoo.

The idea going back to the SportsRadio850 WEEI days was a more general, lighthearted morning show to bring in non huge sports fans who may stay tuned, what the heck.That was syndie Imus who led to syndie Fab Sports Babe.
Old example of a morning zoo show--

The Minihane fans (Minifans) and Kirk himself, as well as those longing for a D&C or Mut & Callahan type show are making themselves known out there.
