70° - scattered clouds at 10:10amleft: busboard for WXRT/Chicago - more on 'XRT below.
Its been some time since we wrote about PPM on this board. Yesterday the trades reported on the NYC Arbitron breakfast - formally introducing the meter in the nation's largest radio market.
First "pre-currency" PPM data from The Big Apple is scheduled for release on November 7th. Many taking a deep breath November 6th.
PPM Wisdom. From Paragon Media's Larry Johnson regarding the immediate feedback opportunity with PPM:
"...we need to keep perspective of what we’re observing. For example, it takes about a year for a new morning show to settle in and reach its potential.

More insights on PPM from the Paragon blog here.
PPM Rulebook. From Tom Taylor's newsletter this morning - two more PPM programming and marketing "rules" - contributed by Chris Conley - former WBEB/Philadelphia programmer (now with McVay Media):- Afternoon drive programming is just as important as morning drive.

Very cool campaign. From one-time progressive rocker - now AAA WXRT/Chicago:
"WXRT's new interactive ad campaign, supported via a heavy round of advertising on taxi tops, buses and billboards, was developed in-house and designed by Brainforest/Chicago.

A very cool promotion and marketing campaign that only a heritage station like 'XRT could pull off. A station that has not only had the time - but has taken the time to cultivate a bond and long-term relationship with its listeners. Something any station could start working on today.Read the Sun-Times article here. See the campaign on the 'XRT website here. Have a great weekend.
