(Applause.1 Ms. Merritt, you seem to contradict youreelf a little bit when you say that you don't want the government to be involved with radio, yet you're asking an ever- growing, ever-expanding federal government to mandate the play of your records on radio stations. MS. MERRITT: I certainly am ngt indicating that. T.J.: And you say that the radio stations shouldn't be worried about their bottom line when you openly admit that that's what you're trying to reach is your bottom MS. MERRITT: I'm not -- if you want music, you're to have to find a way, we're going to have to find'a way to cooperate because we both need to atay in business. But, you know, I certainly don't live by a pool. I struggle to make ends meet and I have a lot of respect for that. So I'm not here to promote my career. I'm here to give North Carolina musicians a voice so that they can keep ibuting just as you have. (Applause. T.J.: Do her comments count in my two minutes? say this, I know this will be indecent language to a lot of people in here, but ours is a society built on capitalism. And in order to make a profit, you have to abide by the rules of capitalism.

Since the beginning of 2010, the national weekly radio audience has grown from 239.7 million to 243 million listeners tuning in across more than 250 local markets in every corner of the country. 243 MILLION AMERICANS LISTEN TO RADIO EACH WEEK In a time of changing habits and new digital platforms, radio’s consistent audience numbers are quite remarkable. With the holidays just around the corner, consumers will be turning to the radio to catch their favorite sounds of the season or stay in touch with what’s happening in their local community each day. PUBLIC RADIO OFFERS AN UNCOMMON MIX OF PROGRAMMING FOR 32 MILLION LISTENERS This year we have profiled the overall radio landscape, multicultural audiences and network radio listeners, and for our final report we turn our attention to Public Radio; the more than 900 rated stations which offer an eclectic mix of news, entertainment, music and cultural programming in markets large and small. Public Radio is a unique and relevant part of the lives of 32 million Americans and exists in large part due to the financial support of the listeners we examine in the following pages.
