[/caption]It's very well known that STAR does not attract huge numbers of listeners. In fact, you'll be hard pressed to find a student radio station (online only) that does. In previous years, our listener numbers have been derived from parsing the Icecast logs with something along the lines of awstats (in fact it was usually awstats). This creates some rather high listener figures (up to x hundred listening at once) due to counting each "hit" in the log as a listener.
This year, we made use of MRTG polling the Icecast server. This provides us with rolling statistics and some rather pretty pictures. Below is the graph for Fresher's week 2008:
Not bad for a one week stint. We peaked about 12 listeners.and averaged about 1 through the night. So adjusting for the Union bar computer, that's 11 during live periods and nobody through the night. Let's hope these start to go up in the future.
