www.americanradiohistory.com "We have long suspected that all the national media interest in satellite radio did not reflect what was going on with the American consumer." -- Ed Seeger, President & CEO, American Media Services

So late last year, we decided to ask consumers, despite all the hype, how much attention they are really paying to satellite radio. On January 13, 2006, we launched the first AMS Radio Index, a scientifically conducted national survey of 1,008 American adults, which revealed important and fascinating information about our most important constituency, the consumer. For one thing, we learned that 64 percent of the respondents said they were listening to radio as much as, or more than, they were five years ago. While ratings for the former Big Three television networks and circulation figures for daily newspapers continue slipping, commercial radio is demonstrating, yet again, that despite the ongoing changes we are seeing in the world of technology, our medium continues to be relevant to the 21st Century consumer. The initial AMS Radio Index generated so much interest that we have decided to commission at least two national surveys a year. The results of our second index will be available soon on our newly redesigned website (www.americanmediaservices.com), and we invite you to visit. In addition, our new website has a "blog," which we are calling "Industry Viewpoints," and we hope this will be the beginning of provocative and timely discussions about radio's future. At AMS, we continue to be bullish about radio, and we want to get the word out. We invite you to join us. See you in Vegas. fig American Media Services, ac

24 Triple A reporters. Monitored airplay data supplied by Mediabase Research, a division of Premiere Radio Networks. Songs ranked by total plays for the airplay week of 4/9 -4/15. Bullets appear on songs gaining plays or remaining flat from previous week. If two songs are tied in total plays, the song with the larger increase in plays is placed first. Songs below No. 15 are moved to recurrent after 20 weeks on the chart unless a song has not yet reached the top 15. If after 20 weeks, the record is not in MOST the top 15 and has two consecutive weeks of decreased plays, the song is then categorized as recurrent. Most Added is the total number of new adds officially reported to R &R by each reporting station. Songs unreported as adds do not count toward overall total stations playing a song. Most Increased Plays lists the songs with the PLAYED RECURRENTS greatest week -to -week increases in total plays. Total Audience equals Average Quarter Hour Persons times number of plays (times 100).
