Country Is Hot

Two weeks ago, I shared an advance look at Arbitron's Radio Today 2012.

• Arbitron Country Radio 2012, State By State
• Listening and Lifestyle Profiles of American Radio
• Country's National Audience Composition
• Country Radio Today - 2012

And, now, all of BBM's PPM and diary market data from Fall 2012 is out in Canada too and - though the country format is not either the country's most-programmed format nor #1 in audience shares as it is in the USA, there's still cause for celebration, at #3 12+ and #5 25-54, up from both the large-markets only Spring survey and also the Fall, which includes the smaller markets as well.

Look out, AC and Hot AC, we're gaining on you!
