Everyone had arrived early. Zhang Ye was in the spotlight today. Everyone from the Literature Channel also thought so and were waiting for history to be rewritten, but were unsure if it could happen. Yesterday’s result was a special case. That rating had been brought about by the attention from the Mid-Autumn Poetry Meet event.
Zhao Guozhou also came in very early today. When they saw him coming in at 9:10 A.M., they all saw the smile he had on his face.
He got it?
He broke a historical record?
They listened to Zhao Guozhou announcing, “Today I will not be reading the listenership ratings in order of ranking. First, I would like to announce yesterday’s 3rd placing, Zhang Ye, ‘Late-night Ghost Stories’. The listenership rating is…..” pausing on purpose to pique everyone’s curiosity, Zhao Guozhou continued on, “Everyone applaud! Ghost Stories’ listenership rating is 2.01%! Maybe some people have already expected it. Yes, the program has broken the 2% rating barrier. Not only has it broken the listenership rating record for late-night programs of the same period, it has once again refreshed the historical record for the midnight segment in the country. It has replaced the Central Radio Station’s ‘The Sound of the City’’s legendary ‘Zero Point Night Chat’ from thirteen years ago, which had a 1.99% listenership rating! Now! This legend belongs to us! It belongs to our Beijing Radio Station!”
