1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ando Media, LLC Ando Media Releases December Internet Audio Top 0 Ranker Boston, MA January 1, 010 Ando Media has released its monthly internet audio Top 0 Ranker for December. The Ranker is a listing of the top-performing internet audio stations and networks measured by the Webcast Metrics audience measurement platform. Webcast Metrics uses a proprietary platform to track audience data and convert it to audience metrics that can be easily understood by stations, publishers and advertisers. Audience rankings are done on the basis of Session Starts, Average Active Sessions and Average Time Spent Listening. Session Starts (SS) is defined as the number of streams of one minute or more that are started within a time period. Average Active Sessions (AAS) is defined as the average number of streams of one minute or more that are active within a time period. Average Time Spent Listening (ATSL) is defined as the average duration, in hours, for each session lasting more than one minute within a time period. Rankers are divided into Domestic and All Streams. The Domestic Ranker quantifies listening done inside the U.S. based on log-based information provided by the station. The All Streams Ranker merely verifies the quantity of streams without qualifying where they are being consumed. Highlights from the December Ranker include: Similar to the Thanksgiving holiday s impact on the November Ranker s data, December data shows a decline toward the end of the month due to the reduction of in-office listening. December also includes a top publisher now measuring its mobile audience: o Pandora s numbers include mobile for the first time, significantly growing the size of its overall measured audience. Side channels for holiday format streams accounted for an AAS of 6,81 during the 6a-8p daypart across all publishers. NOTE: Ando Media will be hosting a web conference to discuss the December Ranker on Friday, January, 010 at p.m. EST. If you wish to join this conference, please click here to register.
