Where the Listeners Were in December 2007

One look at the Geo Stats for December '07 and I'm thrilled and humbled...these have been the most popular Advent and Christmas seasons yet for this station. Many thanks to all of you who listened during this time of year for CCM! We ended up at #14 among all classical stations on Live365, which given the more listened-to ones (mostly Professional stations, and this station is quite the opposite!) was no mean feat...thanks and God's blessings for all of you.

Here's the breakdown of listener venues for December among the US metro areas:

1. Boston (Manchester) (we love Advent almost as much as Lent, LOL)
2. Atlanta
3. San Francisco - Oakland - San Jose
4. New York City
5. Albuquerque - Santa Fe
6. Washington DC (Hagerstown)
7. Los Angeles
8. Albany - Schenectady - Troy
9. Dallas - Fort Worth
10. Chicago

And here are the top 10 countries for listeners in December:

1. United States
2. Canada
3. United Kingdom
4. Netherlands
5. Germany
6. Sweden
7. Japan
8. Barbados
9. Qatar
10. Mexico

Yes, I'm surprised about Qatar, and I'm glad to have some enthusiastic listenership in Barbados...may I visit please? it's cold here in Boston! =) In all, 67 countries had listeners to CCM in December, with 47 listening for more than 30 minutes during the month. Many, many thanks to all of you...now I'd best get busy on the Epiphany playlist, which will have its début by 0500 GMT (at the latest) on January 6.
