Well, here we are! 2010 is now behind us and 2011 is kicking off. Lots of stuff happened in 2010 — some good, some not so good. Many of us are stressed, hurting or feeling hardship with the dismal global economy. But the thing that helps keep it all in perspective and gives us relief is music. Whether your preference is: Rock n’ Roll, Rap, Top-40, Pop, Indie, Classical, Love Songs, Oldies, Country, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Techno, Showtunes or whatever, there is no doubt music is what helps us get through it all, good or bad. We here at The Train are thrilled to be bringing you some of those songs that help you get through your day and we appreciate you tuning into us daily. Which reminds me . . . we have some great listener statistics for December for you.
In a nutshell, we seem to have found our equilibrium — which is a good indication that it’s time for us to kick things up a notch (and that we will)! Total listening hours increased slightly over November. Our overall rank position improved slightly and our Genre Ranking held static.
Between 48 states and 79 countries, more than 870 Listening Hours were logged through 1432 streams launched in the month of December — that’s an average listening time of more than 36 minutes per listener.
4 new listeners have added our station to their “pre-set” list for a total of 46 — which leads us to the question . . . Have you added us to your Twitter Follows?
Finally, of all the other Live365 radio stations also broadcasting Rock & Roll music, although we had some fluctuations in both directions, we stayed in 5th place. Our “Overall” ranking amongst all Live365 radio stations improved in December moving from position 1389 to 1313.
