- The people certainly know the difference between a spanish station and
- an english rock station, however, the auditors who read the diaries may
- have made a mistake. This could probably be proven by looking at other
- diary entries and seeing if the listener is an english speaker or a
- spanish speaker.
-
- It sounds like a horrible mistake on the part of the ratings people.
- According to my Elay buddies, Stern is setting the town on fire.
