Where the Listeners Were in June 2007

Oh dear, leaving the Easter playlist on way past its time to go...missing Ascension, Pentecost and Corpus Christi in the process...such a sorry state led to a decline in listenership in June. Then again listenership does drop off anyway after the first week of Easter or so, so no worries: the next surge in listeners isn't expected until All Saints/All Souls. So if you listen during the summer, you will be one of an even more select and blessed band of sustainers!

Obviously full of lovers of Easter repertoire, these were the top US cities for listeners in June:

1. New York City
2. Boston (Manchester)
3. Washington DC (Hagerstown)
4. Columbus, OH
5. Hattiesburg - Laurel, MS (interesting for a smaller market to place so highly!)
6. Denver
7. Hartford & New Haven
8. San Francisco - Oakland - San Jose
9. Miami - Fort Lauderdale
10. Syracuse

And these were the countries with the most listeners in June:

1. United States
2. United Kingdom
3. Canada
4. Brazil
5. Netherlands
6. Japan
7. Hong Kong
8. Italy
9. Greece
10. Mexico

BTW Norway just missed the International Top 10 by 2 minutes! Again, I am surprised and humbled to know that folk from all around the world listen to this station.
