Some Listener Survey Results

The results have been coming in from the M.S. Show Online Listener Survey and I thought I’d share some of them. These are the results of only a few of the many multiple choice questions thousands of people answered; In another post I'll share some of the thoughts people added in their own words. Of course, this is a measure only of those listeners who decided to help us out and take an online survey when they were not listening to the radio (or, for some, surely while they were listening to the radio).


People participated from every U.S. state and every province of Canada (the show on Sirius Canada as well).

1. California
2. Texas and Florida in a tie
3. New York
4. Pennsylvania
5. Ohio
