Welcome to Art Bells. welcome to art bell somewhere in time tonight featuring coast to coast a.m. from

January 29th, 2002.

From my desert and the great American Southwest.

I did you all good evening.

Good morning, good afternoon, wherever you may be in all

twenty four times on covered by this radio program which is coast to coast and should be called

post to coast coast to coast a m here we are in the middle of the night as usual uh this is kind of cool

now as you know i keep you informed as the ratings come in. These are Arbitron ratings.

And kind of an interesting situation occurred in Nashville, Tennessee, where we were on WWTN,

and we switched over to WLAC in Nashville, a 50,000-watt giant blow torch in Nashville Nashville, and we just got the ratings for Nashville because this encompasses that change, and this is fairly amazing, actually.

12 plus, that means all persons 12 years old or older. We went from market position number 12 to market position number one in one book, boom.

And that would represent, we got to check this out for those of you who know about such things.

We went from a, they had a 2.2 share, and then when

our show came on, it rose to a 16.5 share, a 16.5 share, a 750% increase. That may be

right on up there with the biggest gains ever seen in history.

I mean, they can happen in smaller cities and towns,

but something the size of Nashville.

Plus the fact that there we are number one.

2554 from number 10 in the market to number one,

a 333.3% increase.

So it is interesting that in Music City, you know, which is, I mean, when you go to Nashville,

and I've been there, you know, the cabbies sing country music.
