[](http://www.tritondigital.com/?ref=hypebot.com)[Triton Digital](http://www.tritondigital.com/?ref=hypebot.com) has

[**Pandora, Clear Channel, Cumulus Streaming Network** and **Slacker**. However the largest](http://www.tritondigital.com/?ref=hypebot.com)  
[webcasters witnessed very little growth month-to-month, as Pandora's “Average](http://www.tritondigital.com/?ref=hypebot.com)  
[Active Sessions” (defined as total listening hours divided by number of hours](http://www.tritondigital.com/?ref=hypebot.com)  
[in the reported time period) was up 3%, while CBS's AAS continued to drop; 11%](http://www.tritondigital.com/?ref=hypebot.com)  
[since August.](http://www.tritondigital.com/?ref=hypebot.com)

  
The data was measured  
by the Webcast Metrics audience measurement platform, which tracks audience data and converts it to audience rankings done on the  
basis of “Average Active Sessions”, with "Session Starts" and “Average  
Time Spent Listening”.

“Session Starts”  
is defined as the number of different requests for streams (i.e., stream  
requests) with a duration of at least one minute in total within the reported  
time period, while “Average Time Spent Listening” is defined as the average  
number of hours for each session with a duration of at least one minute in  
total within the reported time period – calculated as total time spent  
listening divided by active sessions.

Rankers are  
divided into “Domestic” and “All Streams.” The Domestic ranker quantifies  
listening done inside the U.S. based on log-based information provided by the  
station (not MRC accredited), and the All Streams ranker verifies the  
quantity of streams without qualifying where they are being consumed (and is MRC  
accredited).
