Some very useful information here George. Thanks much!
ReplyDeleteI was a tad surprised to see that my original hometown market of Harrisonburg VA - where I cut my teeth in radio - comes across as one of the most over-performing markets being #272 in size but #187 in revenue. Guess my old college roomie, CC GM Steve Davis, is doing OK over there!
Steve,
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
I didn't know that you and Steve were roommates. He must be doing very well (as I suspect that VerStandig is also).
