Sam Hunt on his UK government funded development of Open Audience for Community Radio. Notes official aim is to measure impact (if you want to use for sales that's up to you) #ukcrnconnect

Sam talks of the issue of "listener inflation" of stations over estimating numbers.

Aim for OAMS to to be "pegged to RAJAR" i.e. comparable data. Takes the raw streaming server access log from any server provider.

Using not a LLM "number large number model" to remove bots etc. Highlights an IP address is not a listener. I.e. shared office WiFi or changing mobile data IPs when driving across the country

Sam states if you really have big numbers of listeners then RAJAR would be viable.

It is free and open. Looking to on board stations from December.
