NATIONWIDE PROCESSING


Nationwide data is the accepted measurement for syndicated and network radio programming and is available to most syndicators for a reasonable price.


  • Nationwide measures all counties by DMA's so it produces Nationwide measures all counties by DMA's so it produces larger audiences for most stations. The Arbitron "X-Code" system develops audience data for stations who do not get separate listings.

  • Audience data covers the same time periods and demographics as Arbitron Metro data.

  • Current annual pricing is $__,_____ to Arbitron for the data and $3,000 to CRI for processing - very reasonable.

  • CRI processing includes maintenance of affiliate lists with air times, production of agency accepted audience reports by demo, ranging from exact times to any time periods plus a wide variety of special reports and services, using CRI's copyrighted RADIO/LINK system.

  • The quantity of processing is large - 12 computer hours per year. As an example, a detailed audience report on a 200-station lineup takes just 5 minutes.

  • If full amount of time is not used, other CRI services can be credited against the allowance.

  • SPECIAL: For any client who does not have CRI's RADIOSCAN, it will be included for just $1,000 per year, with the Basic, Address, GM, PD, Affiliate and Notes modules, a $2,200 value. That makes it easy to find and select the best affiliate prospects, keep affiliate lists with day/time clearances, produce labels and other services. Affiliate lists are directly usable in RADIO/LINK.
    This is the only fully integrated radio computer system which combines all key industry data with total Arbitron processing.

    For further information, call or fax CRI.
