For June, J1 reports lower listening statistics. The overall ASL is down to 15.43 compared to May’s 15.71 ASL. June’s lower statistics can be attributed to several factors including two significant network outages, one lasting 13 hours as well as the World Cup games and a seasonal decline in listening that has traditionally taken place each summer. J1 thanks our listeners for their patience and loyalty during our outage periods in May.
Also, it should be noted that J1’s market share in Japan is starting to close in on the US. In June, 31% of J1’s totally listening hours (TLH) comes from the United States compared with 28.4% from Japan. This is down from April’s 32.5% for the USA and 25.1% for Japan.

WHAT IS ASL?
ASL is short for (average simultaneous listeners). It is a simple formula that we use to determine who many people are listening to the broadacst at one time. We find the ASL to be a much more effective measurement than just counting listening hours. To detemrine ASL, add up all of the hourly scores within a listening period and the divide by the number of hourly periods.
J1 thanks you for listening…. J1 LOVES YOU!
