    ...but the latest Arbitron ratings confirm that Al Franken is beating Rush Limbaugh and other Conservative talk radio stations in the NY area...

    From NYPost.com:

    October 19, 2004 -- CRITICS said it wouldn't happen — but all-liberal WLIB is seriously challenging talk-radio rivals WABC and WOR.

    According to Arbitron ratings released yesterday, WLIB thrashed WOR and nipped at the heels of top-dog WABC among the 25- to 54-year-old listeners advertisers chase.

    (snip)

    During midday, when both stations roll out their top guns — WABC's Rush Limbaugh vs. Air America's Al Franken — WABC is ranked 15th in listeners 25-54, followed closely by WLIB, which ranked 18th. WOR trails badly, finishing 27th in midday.

    Do "beating" and "following closely" mean the same thing in your world?

    You said:

    But your article says:

    Now how does that translate that Franken is beating Limbaugh?

    He was beating Limbaugh before he was following closely behind.

    Latest Arbitron ratings for NYC

    It doesn't break down ratings by specific time slot, but it looks like the claim that Air America is "trouncing" other stations with their same format may not be exactly true....

    Well, maybe among the Lesbian Eskimo Midget Left-Handed Ninja Albino demographic.

    I have access to Arbitron at work... I'll pull some time and demo-specific ratings when I have some down time.
