| "American Radio",
published by media professional James Duncan,
documented the ratings of America's radio stations.
Beginning in 1976, regular editions gave a snapshot
of each market's stations, their ratings formats and
facilities. Editions detailed the Winter, Spring,
Summer and Fall ratings periods as well as small
markets. Additional reports covered the business
side of radio and group ownership.

Jim Duncan writes: |

"David, I would be honored
if you were to include my data on you website. I would be disappointed if all that
work, and the history it represents, were to
disappear with the paper it's printed upon." |
