Welcome to the 80% of you who are passing by!
Musings From Eric:I am in the middle of running the church newsletter which has become a mundane task when the machine does most of the work. That has given me a good bit of time to surf the Internet this afternoon.
I decided to do a little web snoop and see what the search engines came up with for PBRTV. Well one of those sites that it showed was Quantcast - "the World's only Open Internet Ratings Source". I was particularly amused at the data I found!
Here's what Quantcast is saying about you...the visitors. (All Info as of 12/2007 - Quantcast.com)
- PBRTV's rank is 216,752 ...Not bad. (That does a little better than tubecityonline.com which is ranked 704,463.)
- 72% of this site's viewers are male.
- The age group 55-64 makes up 36% of our audience.
- 45% of you make $30-60K.
- 68% do not have children in the house between the ages of 6 and 17.
- 49% of you have a college education and 26% of you have graduate degrees.

I guess in short what I am saying is...thank you for making PBRTV what it is! We really appreciate you visiting, sending us emails, leaving comments and just hanging around reading the info! (You Mon Valley people might want to visit that tubecity site mentioned above though...)
Readers’ Forum
Eric, I just read your piece on PBRTV’s Quantcast ratings. I’m one of the 20% “reg’lars” who checks PBRTV almost daily. I grew up in Waynesburg as an AM-FM-TV DXer, so I knew Pgh radio pretty well, once upon a time. (Among my many tales: as a teen in the early 1960s, I unwittingly risked a nasty shock or worse when a buddy & I visted the xmtr site of the old WAZZ-for-Jazz (105.9, ~6kw at the time, pre-WAMO’s 72kW) after their tower fell, and I almost touched their gnarled, open feedline that hung between the shack and their makeshift antenna.) Anyway, I really enjoy your site, esp. the nostalgia pieces like the one on the old WESA, which I remember well. Thank you for your always interesting news, nostalgia, and commentary!
