Talk Stream Live: Topic-Driven Talk Radio

 

“The Future of Talk Radio is Topic-Driven”
Starting today you can now post talk show topics along with click-to-listen audio links to Facebook and Twitter for any of the shows you find streaming at TalkStreamLive.com. Now the hottest talk topics and shows can spread virally throughout the social networks.

What’s Changed?

The home page now features larger host photos and we have added Trending Topics, a new way for listeners and hosts to see which talk radio topics are trending. Click on a #topic in this box to choose a program based on the topic that interest you most!

What Hasn’t Changed?

The site remains dynamic – shows appear on the list only when they are live or in replay, and they rank by popularity. See the latest listener ranking report here: http://t.co/b68Ei2lV

TSL Radio Spot

Our new 30 second radio spot, Topic-Driven Talk Radio, tells the story. If you have a show or station please help us spread the word. Click Here to download.

Internet Killed the Radio Star

 This hash tag is “the key that will carry talk radio to new distribution and markets only dreamed of and will also drive the discussions of the shows.” Read more here.

We made a lot of progress on the new site last night. The “Trending Topic” feature is finished and the logic is working as expected. We have a few odds and ends to clean up and if nothing goes wrong we should be ready for a soft launch by Sunday evening or Monday afternoon.

TSL Listening Reports

Talk Stream Live is thrilled to announce that we will now incorporate and account for our mobile listening sessions as part of our metrics to produce our internet streaming talk show ranking and share reports. Mobile devices (iPhone, iPod, iPads and tablets etc.) now comprises nearly half of our traffic and this additional data will double our sample size.

We have decided not to publish the Top 100 Report for 2011 due to the inconsistency it would show with the past four quarterly reports. These reports were produced with only website metrics. From analyzing the data it appears that Mobile listening is a bit different than listening on the computer. Don’t worry it’s not entirely different Rush is still #1 no matter how you look at it but there are some surprises in the top 25 ranking. For now we have eliminated the monthly Trend Reports. We will continue to produce our Quarterly Top 25 Talk Show Report. Look forward to the TSL Top 25 1st Quarter report at the end of March as it will be the first report to include mobile listening data.

Methodology
TalkStreamLive’s

TalkStreamLive’s Top 25 Report uses webcast metrics that originate exclusively from actual server data. It measure listener share of the top 25 talk radio shows streaming online that link from our directory. Only unique sessions over a 90 day period are used to produce the top 25 report. We do not represent the entire internet radio listening universe.  In addition to the website, we also track listener stats from all our gadgets and widgets that appear on independent web and Google home pages.  The listener stats from our mobile site TalkStreamLive.mobi are not included in this report. The conclusions are our own and not guaranteed to be accurate.

Leland recently made international news by claiming that in a vision he had seen that Barack H.

Leland’s history is quite revealing, and tonight we will find out how he came to have such telling visions that he claims are from God, and why he believes he has been called by God to tell the world of the horrible upcoming events which he says we can all change if we want to.

Streaming Report Methodology

The Streaming Talk Radio Report from TalkStreamLive.com tracks the top 25 Talk Shows that are streaming on the Internet.

The report is published every month and passively tracks listening habits over the previous three month period. Talk Shows are ranked by popularity and an audience share rating is determined.

We only track “unique page views” –only clicks that are generated by the same user during the same session. (For obvious reasons this report discards multiple clicks by users to the same Talk Show).

Top 10 Talk Radio Audiences
The audience projection is produced using US adult 18+ censes figures that are adjusted for radio listenership and share percentages from the TalkStreamLive.com Internet Talk Radio Reports.

Frees Media is a media buying service in business for over ten years. We specialize in Radio, TV and Outdoor advertising as well as Audio streaming advertising on the Internet. Call us for Store Support and new product launches. 

We hope you benifit by our reasearch.
