Introduction

Welcome to the RADIOSTM manual which has been
designed as a beginners guide to operating the
RADIOSTM software program. This document will
provide an extensive users guide covering all aspects
of the program. The appendix of this document
explains how to load the RADIOSTM program onto
your computer.

On going support is also always available from
Research International NZ. Please do not hesitate to
call us if you experience any problems with
RADIOSTM. Contact details are provided at the rear
of this manual.

RADIOSTM The Program

RADIOSTM was written as a user friendly, easy to
master program. Once the fundamental key strokes
have been learnt, it is a very simple program to use.

To gain access to the program, first double-click on
the RADIOS icon on your computer desktop. If this
is the first time you have used the RADIOS program
click on ‘New’ and type in your name. By selecting
your name every time you enter RADIOS you will be
returned to the survey with the same audience
definitions, stations etc that were last used by you.


To open a survey, select ‘File’, ‘Open’. Here select
the survey control panel button.
All surveys available to you will be displayed. at this
point. Double-click on the survey you require (or
single-click on or highlight the survey and press
open).

RADIOSTM Basics

The windows display that you will see eight tabs
displayed. These are
 Station
 Times
 Audience
 Profile
 Std (Standard) Reports
 1/4 Hr Reports
 Stn (Station) Profiles
 Rch + Freq (Reach and Frequency).

Each tab will display a screen that allows you to build
an audience or time selection, select a radio station
or select the parameters of your data analysis.

RADIOSTM Basics - Naming New Definitions

Station Group Definitions
 Max 20 Characters for row headers
 Max 8 characters per line for column headers

Time Zone Definitions
 Max 25 characters for row headers
 Max 8 characters per line for column headers

Audience Definitions
 Max 25 characters for row headers
 Max 8 characters for column headers

Because of these limits on the number of characters,
you may have to abbreviate your group title - make
sure that the title is relates to what the grouping is
defined as - this is particularly important when
creating new audience groups.
This is the title that will appear in the
ROWS of your report
This is the title that will appear in
the COLUMNS of your report
7
RADIOSTM Basics - Naming New Definitions

It is important to realise that definitions in RADIOSTM
are accurate only if they are put together correctly whatever name you give a new definition, it has no
bearing on what the time, audience or station group
actually comprises - as clever as RADIOSTM is, it
doesn’t automatically ‘know’ what definition you are
trying to create. Some examples are:



“Oldies Stations” - what you consider to be an ‘oldies’
station might be very different to what other RADIOSTM
users or radio networks would define this grouping as.
It is better to use abbreviations of the station names for
the title of the group - for example “S.Gold&C.Hits
Combo”
“Cow Milking Times” - RADIOSTM unfortunately doesn’t
know when farmers will be in their sheds milking… just
by giving the time zone a title doesn’t automatically pick
out the times for you. In this case we might define the
time zone as Mon-Sun 5am-8am & Mon-Sun 5pm-8pm
“Speedway Patrons” - a group where we do not have
specific questions in RADIOSTM
relating to this
particular audience. We could probably assume that
they would be a certain type of person, but you cannot
overly generalise your definition. You would be safer to
describe the group using the actual component parts “Males 18-49 Beer Drinkers” say!

Making Selections in RADIOSTM




In each window, you will see a list of available
parameters for your report - be it either stations,
times, audiences etc.
In the stations, times and audience windows, the
available list of definitions appears in the left-hand
box.
The right hand box of these windows shows the
slections that you have made for this analysis
To remove any unwanted definition selections
selected in a prior session by clearing the entire list,
or by removing them one station at a time.
 To clear the entire list click the Clear button.
 To remove definition selections one at a time
highlight the definition you want to remove in the
selection box and click the left pointing arrow in
the centre of the screen. You can also double
click on the definition or multi-select the
definitions you want to remove (see below for
how to do this)

Making Selections in RADIOSTM


To select a definition, click once on the drfinition you
need, then click on the right-pointing arrow in the
middle of the screen. Your selected definition will
appear in the right-hand box. You can also doubleclick on the definition to select it into the right-hand
box.
You can multi-select in these lists by either holding
down the shift key and clicking the first definition on
the list then clicking the last definition on the list, then
click the left or right pointing arrow. To select multiple
definitions in the list that are not one after the other,
hold down the Ctrl key and click each station you
want to select, then click the left pointing arrow.

The ‘Stations’screen has the total list of stations
available in this marke in ths left hand white box
Your current station selections are in the right hand
white box.
Remove any unwanted stations selected in a prior
session by removing the stations as required, or by
clicking the Clear button to remove the shole list (See
Making Selections in RADIOSTM for instructions)
To add stations to your analysis, select them from the
left-hand box and clicking the right-pointing arrow, be
double clicking the station you need or by multiselecting the stations you need (See Making
Selections in RADIOSTM for instructions)
Figure ** - Station Selections
In this example we have selected Newstalk ZB (AM &
FM), Mai FM88.6, Channel Z 94.2FM, 91ZM, Classic
Hits 97FM, Cool Blue and Easy i98FM for analysis

Creating a New Station Group



Click on the New button at the bottom left of the
Stations window
Type the name of the Station Group you wish to
create, making sure that it it sufficiently descriptive
that you and other users know what it is.
The box on the left represents the stations and the
box on the right are the stations you wish to combine.
You must choose the stations and ‘Move’ them over
to the right hand box - don’t forget to save your new
station group. The new grouping will now appear at
the bottom of the ‘Stations’ box.
12


Saving a group selected:
If you want to save your station selections, simply
click on save, name it and save it to a suitable
location. To re-load a saved selection click ‘load’ and
select your saved station grouping. This same
procedure can be used for saving audience and time
selections also. Note: Station groups saved are
survey specific. Time and Audience groupings will be
available
for
all
surveys.
13

(II) Audience


Select this to get to the ‘Audience Categories’
screen.
The box on the left is the ‘Master list’ and this
contains all audience definitions that have been
created previously and are available for use.
The box on the right, labelled Selection,
contains the audience categories you wish to
work with during this session. If the audience
you wish to analyse is not in your audience
categories box (be sure to scroll right through
the list), then you will have to create it.

To

Select “New” to create the desired audience
category.

In the area labelled ‘Name’, type the name of
the audience you wish to create (i.e., All 18-34,
or ‘Restaurant users’). Press enter or Tab to
move this name into the column header box
(edit to fit if necessary).


If the results for the particular item fall within a range
of numbers it is possible to specify the outer limits of
the range by selecting from the next pull down menu
‘=, or more, or less’.

Highlight the audience characteristic appropriate to
your definition.
Your audience definition can
comprise a number of characteristics such as age,
income, intended and past purchasing. Once you
have selected the first characteristic (be it age,
income etc) click on the A: row to display the internal
options available. If it is age you will have a full list of
ages in single years for the teens and then in five
year blocks thereafter.

If you want to create an audience category titled "1634 years select ‘16 years’ and move to the ‘=‘ box.
Pull down the options by using the mouse and select
"or more". Click the downward pointing arrow to
move this selection into the white box. Then select
‘30-34 years’, this time choosing "or less" from the `='
box. Hit the downward arrow again. You have
selected `16 years or more; and 30-34 years or less'.
To add this selection to memory you must click on
‘Add’, otherwise your definition will be lost.
15

If <OR> is pressed, a line will be drawn across the
white audience definition box.
The categories
specified before and after this line become mutually
exclusive as though they are two separate groups,
and a person may belong to either one or the other to
qualify for the report. It is important to treat the
categories above and below the line as separate
groups, remembering that any filter you wish to apply
to an audience group must be specified each time
<OR>
is
pressed.

NB:
The audience filters are listed in alphabetical
order. Audience filters further down the list may be
selected by typing the letter they start with, i.e. type
‘s’ to get to the
sex category, or ‘so’ to get to the
socio-economic
group
category
etc.
Example
2:
Errors that users of this programme do sometimes
make involve the usage of the ‘or more’ and ‘or less’
command. When defining a category, for instance
income, users wishing to define households with
incomes $40,000 or more tend to use the following
command
or
Household income over $40,000 to $50,000,
more
However the list is not so much based on the quantity
of the number concerned but rather the position in
the list. Therefore the above command will include
all income ranges above $40,000, but it will also
include the household category ‘Household income
refused’.
It is therefore necessary to use the
command ‘Household income over $40,000 to
17

(III)
Time
Periods
This is found under the ‘’Times’ tab. As with the
audience categories, the left hand box represents all
the time periods available to you. The box on the
right, labelled ‘Selection’ is the time period or periods
you have chosen to work with in this session by
‘moving’ them over. If the time period you wish to
analyse is not in the time periods box (be sure to
scroll through to the end) you have the facility to
create
it.

To
Create
A
New
Time
Period:
Select "New" which will take you to the ‘NewTime
Period Definition’ screen, and type in the name of the
time period to be created (up to 30 characters). This
heading gives the row label for reports by pressing
enter, or Tab, it then goes on to create the column
label for reports (3 lines of 8 characters). You may
need to abbreviate labels for longer titles.
Once you have done this your cursor will be sitting in
the first of a series of 4 boxes. These boxes
represent day start, day end, time start, and time
18

Analyses
tabs
A survey, and at least one station, time period and
audience group must be selected before any analysis
may be selected from this menu. Multiple analyses
are also available. Multiple analyses can be called
up at once - reports will stack on screen and/or print
off one at a time for all filters requested.

Standard
Reports
Standard reports offers six different analysis options.
The most used options are Station share and
Cumulative audience. However there is the potential
to determine the average time spent listening to
stations, the cost-efficiency for a station during a
particular time period, the percent of exclusive
audience and the average audience. The standard
reports window allows you to determine whether the
results are in thousands, percentages or both,
whether the results are in alphabetical order or
numerical. The default setting has stations and times
selected with audience acting as the filter. However
these can be altered as required by ‘clicking’ the

Below are the definitions of the available analysis
functions
within
‘Standard
Reports’
(i)
Station
Share
A station's share (%) of the total listening
done by a particular audience across a specified time
period.
(ii)
Cumulative
Audience
The number of different people (% or 000's)
reached by a station over a specified time period.
(iii)
Average
Audience
The average number or percentage of people
that can be expected to be listening to a station in
any quarter hour over a specified time period.
(iv)
Exclusive
Audience
The number or percentage of people who only
listen to one station over a specified time period.

time
period.
(ii)
Ebb
and
Flow
This analysis tracks the audience flow (% or
000's) between two
time zones, day parts,
or quarter hour time slots. This analysis will provide
the cumulative audience of two stations for one daypart and then provide the number of listeners
who switch to the other radio station in another daypart. Therefore you can
determine
which radio stations compete directly with each other
during
particular
day-parts.
(iii)
Cost

This is a calculation that determines the cost
efficiency of quarter
hour day-parts for

Ebb and flow provides an indication of a stations
audience and their station selections between
different
time
periods.
and
Flow
This is an example of the ‘Ebb and Flow’ output. You
have the selected stations in columns and rows. The
column headed ‘TOTAL’ shows the cumulative
audience (000) for the first time period (in this case
Mon-Fri 6am-9am).
The subsequent columns,
Station A, Station B etc, show the number of listeners
in the second time period (Mon-Fri 9am-12md) who
had previously listened to the station indicated in the
row.
For example, Station C had a cumulative audience of
23,500 during Mon-Fri 6am-9am. Of this 23,500,
2200 people subsequently switched to Station F
during the time period Mon-Fri 9am-12md.
22

Station
Profiles
There are four different types of analyse you can do
here.
Loyalty
This provides an indication of the loyalty of a station’s
listeners measured as exclusive percentage of the
cumulative audience. That is, the percentage of a
station’s listeners who only ever listen to that station.
Competitor
Overlaps
This analysis allows the user to profile the repertoire
of radio stations that listeners listen to. Therefore
you can determine the number of listeners who listen
to Station A that also listen to Station B.
Station
Profile
Two stations can be profiled against each other on
the range of demographic and behavioural
characteristics available (e.g., Internet usage). To
enable this command, the user must first select a
profile from the ‘Profile’ tab. The row ‘Demographic
Question to Profile’ needs to be completed.
23
 Loyalty
The loyalty function gives the user the level of
exclusive listening, expressed as exclusive % of the
cumulative audience, For Station A, 52.7% of their
cumulative audience exclusively listen to that radio
station
during
the
specified
time
period.
In the example illustrated a profile filter has also been
applied. The filter in use is gender, and this indicates
that the female audience is slightly more loyal to that
station than the male audience (54% vs. 51.3%).
Other profiles such as age or takeaway eaters can
also be selected. To do this simply go to the Profile
tab
and
select
the
desired
filter.
Station
Profile
The Station profile command simply compares two
stations on the profile feature selected (once again
the example illustrated uses gender). The current
station profile shows that there is a slight slant
towards females in all station listening and that
station A resembles this. This analysis also indicates
that Station B has more male listeners than female.
24

Competitor
Overlaps
This analysis allows the user to determine the station
repertoire of listeners. We can see that Station J has
a cumulative audience of 12,700 people and that
4700 of them also listen to Station A. Also 2700
listeners also listen to Station C.

The last row indicates the average number of
stations that listeners of one station listen to.
Therefore Station A listeners listen to an average of
1.63 stations, whereas Station J listeners listen to
1.99
stations.
25

Key
Audiences
The key audience command will look at the
differences between two radio stations on key
demographic variables. The Variance (%) column
indicates the largest differences between the two
stations.
The values in the Station A and Station B column
represent the number of quarter hours listened by
people in a certain demographic class. For example,
there were 136,500 quarter hours listened to Station
A
by
people
40-44
years.
26

Reach
and
Frequency
A reach and frequency analysis will provide the user
with information concerning the number of people
hearing a commercial and the number of times that
they will hear it. You need to enter the day and time
period under investigation, place the number of ad
spots plus the station you wish to measure. The
outcome will provide you with a summary table (and
full spot by spot table) of the reach and frequency for
the information you entered. The results tell you how
many people in the audience potential heard your
advert 1+, 2+, 3+ etc times as well as the average
number of times an audience member would hear
that advertisement during the specified time period.

This analysis calculates:

27

Reach
and
Frequency
This table shows the output of a Reach and
frequency analysis. It has a spot by spot analysis of
the advertising schedule with the bottom line acting
as a summary. A summary only can be selected or a
spot by spot analysis
as shown here.
An average cost can be added in the R&F screen if
the cost of the ad spot is the same across your entire
schedule. However if your schedule runs across a
number of different costing levels, enter the costs in
the “Times” tab. The gross cost of the media
schedule is indicated in the bottom line of the output.
Similarly a TARP per spot is shown with the gross
amount of TARPS achieved by the schedule shown
cumulatively.
The average frequency refers to the average number of times the advertisement will be heard by
audience members who listen during the defined period.
Underneath the 1+, 2+, 3+ columns is the percentage of the population potential who will have
heard the advertisement this number of times. For instance, after 10 spots on this radio station,
four percent of the potential audience (283,200) will have heard the advertisement 3 times or
more.
28

Useful
features
to
remember
Save
When you are defining a time period, station group or
audience that you will be using often, it is possible to
save these grouped characteristics. In each of the
station, times, and audience windows there is a save
button. This works much the same as regular saving
procedures. When you wish to re-use that saved
grouping simply click on ‘load’ and proceed to the
area in which this group has been saved.
The
mouse
and
keyboard
It is a matter of personal preference whether people
use the keyboard or mouse to move around the
screen. Radios allows for both options. When
selecting certain items the mouse enables you to
double-click that item rather than highlighting it and
then clicking on an arrow or something similar.
Alternatively, the tab keys or arrows can also provide
a quick way around the screen using the enter key to
select. It is perhaps best to experiment with both to
determine
what
is
best
for
you.
29

Window
When you have a number of surveys open or have
done a number of analyses, the screen can become
cluttered making finding a particular analysis difficult.
By going to the ‘Window’ menu you will find a list of
reports you have produced in that session. You
simply click on the one you wish to view.


Printing
Analyses can be printed one at a time using the
printer icon/button. If you have produced a number
of reports and now wish to print them all, you are not
required to select each individually and press print.
Rather go to ‘File’ and a ‘Print all’ command will do
this
for
you.
30

Graphics
The graphics function produces coloured (and black
and white) charts to easily illustrate radios
information. The tool buttons for this and other
functions are only available once an analysis has
been completed. Two functions of great use is the
graphing function and the export to excel function.
Each icon to enable this is located at the top left of
the screen immediately to the right of the print icon
when a report is displayed on screen.
Once the graphic function has been selected, the
programme automatically produces a graph of the
information previously calculated. A number of icons
are made available above the chart. Each icon takes
you to the ‘Graphic Control’ window that has a
number of tabs to alter the appearance of the chart.
The export to excel function simply does that. It
takes the output from RADIOS and directly places it
into Excel for further manipulation. This is an
alternative method of producing graphed data to
using
the
RADIOS
graphics
function.


Preparing Your Computer
The following instructions outline the procedures to
follow when installing the RADIOSTM software
package onto your personal computer(s). Before you
start here are a couple of simple pointers that may
help
you
avoid
potential
problem
areas.
If you want to install the software onto more than one
p.c., you will need to know whether your system is
networked. If this is the case, and you are installing
onto the networked drive, you need only follow the
installation procedure once. If you do not have a
networked system, your computers are what is
known as "stand alone", and you must repeat the
installation procedure at each site.
Loading
instructions are provided on the inside cover of the
CD
that
contains
the
data.
 Memory
Because you are adding information to your p.c., you
will need to have sufficient disk space to store the
data. You will also need to leave at least 10 m.b. free
on the hard drive as working space, once all the data
has been loaded. This room is essential for the
creation of new time zones and audience categories,
and ultimately in the analysis and reporting of results.
33
Installing RADIOSTM

The following instructions provide the necessary
information to load the Radios analysis programme
either by disk format or CD. Radios 3.0 is the old
analysis format while Radios 9.1c is the latest
analysis
format.
DISK FORMAT

To install by disk first go to the DOS level, and decide
which drive you wish to install RADIOSTM on to.
This may be the C, D, F, G, H, etc drive, depending
on your site and if it is networked. If installing onto a
network gain access at the supervisor level. To avoid
confusion "X" shall be used to signify the drive
RADIOSTM
is
to
be
installed
on.
If a directory called RADIOS does not already exist
(i.e. this is the first installation of Radios), you will
need to create it by doing the following:

them.
You will now be able to directly access Radios
35

CD
FORMAT
If you have a CD and this is the first installation of the
Radios programme on your computer, the first step is
to create a new folder called ‘Radios’. You do this by
going into Windows Explorer. Once in Explorer,
highlight the drive in which you wish to place the
Radios programme. To create a new folder, move to
‘File’, ‘New’, ‘Folder’.
Name the Radios folder
“Radios” to reduce confusion. Once this is complete
close all programmes and documents that you may
have open. Still within Explorer, open the folder
(double-click) on the CD called ‘Disk 1’. Your CD
drive will be clearly marked with a CD icon and is
usually drive D: or E:. Once Disk 1 is open, doubleclick on the file ‘Setup.exe’ and follow the instructions
on the screen to install the Visual Foxpro software.
Once this installation is complete, open the folder on
the CD called ‘Radwin files’. Copy these files to your
Radios folder. Once these are copied highlight the
files once again, but this time in their new destination,
and right-click the mouse button once.
Select
‘Properties’
and
turn
off
‘Read
only’.
At this point you have the Radios software package
that enables you to obtain radio listening information.
However the data that you need is yet to be loaded.
36

If you are loading the National Database you can
either create an icon specifically for this database or
alternatively in the Radios programme there is a ‘Add
Nat DB’ button. To do the latter in the Radios
programme go to ‘File’, ‘Open’, and click on the
Survey Control Panel icon. Here you are prompted
to select a survey. Instead click on the bottom right
box ‘Add Nat DB’, move to the folder where this is
stored and select this database.
The National
Database will now be one of the databases available
for
you
within
Radios.
To create a Radios icon like this
your desktop use
the following
on
method.
.In your desktop screen, right click the mouse button
and highlight ‘New’. Move the cursor to highlight
‘Shortcut’ and select this. This will take you to a
‘Create
Shortcut’ window. Click on ‘Browse’ and move to the
folder that contains the Radios.exe file (you have just
placed this file in the Radios folder). Click on this file
and hit ‘Open’. This information will now be placed in
the space below ‘Command line’. Hit ‘Next’ and then
finish. An icon now exists for direct access to the
Radios
programme.

Overview: Installing RADIOS data and programs

For RADIOS installations to run on your system you
first need to have Visual Foxpro 5 installed. If you are
already running RADIOS then you will already have
this software. If you are new to RADIOS and don't
have a Visual Foxpro 5 install CD, please contact
Research International NZ to order a copy

We also recommend a minimum of Internet Explorer
4 or Netscape 4. Earlier versions of these browsers
will not provide a successful download attempt as the
secure site will be unable to correctly authenticate
your login and provide you with access to the survey
data.

Current versions of these browsers are readily
available over the Internet, you can find them here for
free download:
