Rush Radio rebrands as Boston Talk 1200

[Dan.Strassberg]

Probably they DO count people who are lying in bed listening to the
radio--provided that they wear the meter while they lie in bed
listening. If you were to take the meter off before you climbed into
bed, you'd have to keep it close at hand near your bedside so you
could pick it up and set it back down every few minutes. If you failed
to do that, you would not be counted after a while. I've never seen a
PPM but my understanding is that it is larger than the average cell
phone, which means it is unlikely to be comfortable to wear in bed. As
a result, I think most people who listen in bed would not wear the PPM
in bed and therefore would not be counted for most of the time they
were listening in bed.
