According the the Research Director's June PPM numbers breakdown for New York published by AllAccess, WCBS-FM ranks number one in the 18-34 demo by more than a share. Since the median release date of a song on CBS-FM seems to be early-to-mid 80s, what's the explanation for this? It seems to me that it must come from one of these things:
I know which explanation I'm leaning towards but would anyone care to share some insight?
- 18-34-year-olds are infatuated with 40-year-old songs and are clamoring to hear them on the classic hits radio station, and/or
- Most 18-34 year-olds don't listen to FM radio at all any more so the numbers in that demo are dominated by incidental listening, where the PPM meters picked up radio stations that were being played by older people nearby.
