Sample Attendee Reviews

“I expected this to be the typical Arbitron dance. Gary actually gave me actionable steps to ensure my ratings remain strong from quarter hour to quarter hour. Great information!”

“We don’t have PPM in our market, but the information is great and useful anyway!”
 
“Really useful. I never thought that on-air guests can influence ratings the way Gary demonstrated. Great!”

“There are no plans for PPM to start in my country, but it’s great to find out how listeners actually use radio. Gary’s research on on-air interviews was invaluable.”
 
“Being in charge of music for both Country and AC stations, this was one of the most valuable speakers I have had the pleasure of experiencing. The insights offered in terms of clock design, stopset placement, etc., were astounding. Not to mention the tips we can bring back for our jocks in terms of break length and tune-out factors.”  

Running Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
