America's Top Stations: A Format Profile takes an in-depth look at the most successful stations by format in the top 100 markets. Specifically, the study focuses on listening patterns by station format and type of diarykeeper. Special attention is given to listening preferences among stations. A listener's most preferred, or P1, station captures more of the listener's time than any other station. Therefore, the results of the study quantify the importance of P1 listening. This unprecedented information features 226 of the nation's most successful stations across 23 formats.
