You've left an awful lot of radio stations out of the analysis!
Perhaps we should have clarified that this analysis is in respect of GfK surveyed music based stations in the five metro markets.-Ed
Further to Michael's comment - even though people poo-poo them I wonder how much change there would be if local (I hate the term community) stations were included into this?
Incomplete formula given above:
The music content per hour is:
Time for news, sport and weather +
Time for traffic reports +
Time for advertisements +
Time for station promotion +
Time for announcements of music +
Time for silent breaks between tracks. + Rare may apply to ABC Classic where they don't know when the track ends - the presenters should listen to the tracks and not fall asleep.
Time for blah blah blah including talkback +
Therefore total music time per hour = one hour less the times.
Thank you

6iX in Perth is a music based GfK surveyed radio station in one of the 5 metro markets, Perth.
Whatever 2UE is called now in Sydney ... music based and GfK surveyed?
Incomplete analysis.
Okay Michael, you got me. I'll have a word to Mr Amos. -Ed.
