This
study performed an in-depth analysis of the current market coverage for
each FM and AM station that can guide station-planning efforts to
improve coverage and services. In addition, the study tabulated
demographic coverage for minorities and specialized audiences, such as
citizens with visual or hearing impairment. The information has been
aggregated on a state-by-state basis and partitioned by county and
market-area for analysis.
The study included collaboration with public radio stations, industry organizations and stakeholders.
