I've been following the switch to PPM on a SF Bay Area radio newsgroup. Wiki claims the top 10 markets will be live with PPM by the end of the year. When will SLC get PPM?
The new method of reporting caused a pretty big shake-up with KGO who last month celebrated "30 years of being the highest rated radio station in the Bay Area" The last book pre PPM.
I always thought KGO was a good model for a radio station I'd like to see here in Utah (ie LOCAL news, moderate talk shows, no syndication). Basically everything that Utah radio is NOT.
Anyway, I'm guessing there is going to be a "correction" in the PPM markets but by how much.
If you are interested just google ba.broadcast to find the newsgroup and see how its shaking out.

This is what is bringing down smooth jazz, and doing alot of other damage as well to other formats.
There are real problems with it as Houston's next book is going to be really screwed up because many of those that are participating in the PPM process there were forced out by the hurricane.
And there are several legal challenges, a docket at the FCC, subpoenas by New Jersey's AG, and investigations by NY's AG as well. Look at any national radio news site for these stories.
