Dan Patrick comments on programming philosophy, recent ratings
The Brazosport News regularly posts updates on Houston radio ratings, and that recently prompted some discussion in our comments, including a request for blogHOUSTON commenter and KSEV-700 guru David Benzion to elaborate on their meaning.
Today, Dan Patrick himself takes up our request, in a blog post that attempts to shed some light on his programming philosophy at KSEV and how he views the ratings in that context.
Curiously, the original post contained links to both the original Brazosport News post and the discussion that ensued here, but those links are no longer in the post. Perhaps the LST crew is having technical difficulties.
Substantively, the post is an interesting glimpse at programming philosophy, but it would be even more interesting if Patrick had pasted in some raw ratings data excerpts for certain time slots. For whatever reason, that raw data seems closely held by programmers. Of course, that's the data of most interest to us laymen.
With format changes and people moving around the dial, the next few ratings periods ought to be entertaining for local media watchers. Here's hoping that Patrick -- and maybe someone from Clear Channel -- will offer further thoughts as new ratings are available.
