In March, J1 experienced a gradual increase in listening around the world. Our world markets are starting to be more defined as our listening in Japan, Singapore and North America (USA/Canada) increase and other nations start to decrease. North America accounts for over 50% of J1 listening in the past month. Domestically in the USA, we have seen a substantial increase of share in Southern California. We are very concerned about a sharp decrease in TLH from the Bay Area, one of our primary markets.
In March, J1 focused on Europe by adding a third “9 to 5 Challenge” during the 9-5 period in Europe filling up the remaining 8 hour slot during the workweek. We are seeing an increase in the United Kingdom while non-English speaking European nations tapered off slightly.
Overall, March was a great month for J1. We thank our listeners and we look forward to the spring and summer.

WHAT IS ASL?
ASL is short for (average simultaneous listeners). It is a simple formula that we use to determine who many people are listening to the broadacst at one time. We find the ASL to be a much more effective measurement than just counting listening hours. To detemrine ASL, add up all of the hourly scores within a listening period and the divide by the number of hourly periods.
J1 thanks you for listening…. J1 LOVES YOU!
