Topic Scoring
What was said · whether they stayed
“Too much talk” is one of music radio's most persistent listener complaints.
The real question is whether listeners find the talk interesting enough to stay.
Topic Scoring measures how well spoken content holds the audience. It uses the same measurement framework as music.

Male: “So, I think about diplomacy, so there's a packaged team, wearing protective suits, gloves, walking from lab to lab, checking what's out there, what's going on, what can escape. But she's cautious, she's attentive, everyone's talking, they're shaking hands, they're somehow protected. At the same time, this lab somehow...”

Topic Scoring Methodology
Scoring
Topic Score measures audience hold against the station's normal ambient tune-out rate, on a 0-100 scale relative to the station's other scored topics, from weakest to strongest hold. 0-100 is a relative index, not a retention percentage.
Segments under 30 seconds are excluded and never scored.
Self-Scaling
Airplay Live is self-scaling: weak hold is identified faster when content airs often, reaches more listeners and repeatedly underperforms.
A single weak result may be noise. When the same pattern repeats across multiple airings, it becomes stronger evidence.
Reliability
Reliability grows with audience size and airing count: larger audiences reduce noise per airing, while repetition reduces the chance of a random result.
At around 100 average concurrent listeners, the typical topic reaches the reliability threshold after about 8 qualifying airings; at 500, after about 4. Beyond that additional audience adds little: 2,000 listeners reaches the threshold in roughly the same number of airings as 500.
The benefit of additional audience begins to flatten at roughly 500 listeners.
