AM : Average Audience Average Audience The average audience (or average audience rate) of an event (programme, advertising slot, channel, time slot, etc.) is the arithmetic mean of the cumulative audience for the different units of time measured. Depending on the accuracy of the survey, this may be a second, a minute or a quarter hour (in this case, we say average quarter hour). This indicator is interpreted as the average number of viewers/listeners during the event. It can be calculated by finding the ratio of Individual Viewing Time (IVT) for the event and the event duration. Find out more = Average Average The average is one of the most important statistical indicators for a set of numbers. By default, it is the arithmetic mean, calculated by adding the values in the set and then dividing that sum by the number of values.

Find out more results cover the period from December 29, 2025, to March 29, 2026: 20,182 interviews for the Monday-Friday period, and 6,329 interviews for the Saturday-Sunday period.

• Audience data data Digital data Find out more collected on a 24-hour basis, from 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. the following day, using spontaneous responses. Respondents name the radio stations they listened to on their own, without being prompted.

• Interviews were conducted Monday through Sunday via cell phone and landline to maximize the ability to reach reach Reach is the term used to describe the reach achieved by a medium, publication, advertisement or campaign. It corresponds to the number of users reached and is therefore quantitative data. Reach plays a key role in measuring return on investment.
