A fairly active week on Facebook for Radio. The release of Hunger Games was a big topic on CHR and some AC stations, Tim Tebow and Payton Manning got good coverage, Urban and Rhythmic stations did pose topics around the teen murder case in Florida. Project 961 in Atlanta hit 100,000 likes with it's contest and the station tour by boy band - One Direction - got a lot of action.

You can see the LIKES moving up in many of the stations in the focus group here. Project 961's contest to hit 100,000 LIKES has really pumped up their numbers and now they are giving away 10,000 to some one in that group of fans.
You can also see some stations building quite an interactive following if you look at the "People Talking About This" figure on the 'home page' of the stations. Perhaps us programmers can grasp this best as LIKES are the Cume here and People Talking is the TSL. The leading station in inefficiency is KDWB with 107,000 Likes it draws a 15,948 People Talking number. Compare that with Z100 in NYC with nearly 220,000 Likes and 2,972 people talking. You can also see a pretty good ratio here at another Twin Cities outlet - KQRS with 29,267 Likes but 18% of them - 5,225 are talking about it. The key to both stations is a healthy number of quality posts that get the audience talking/reacting most days.
Next week we will be expanding the panel a little more with a couple of new stations in the mix.
Thanks for stopping by.
