Talkers Magazine is a trade-industry publication related to talk radio in the United States.
The magazine is owned by Talk Media, Inc. Twice a year, Talkers publishes an estimate of the audience size for most-listened-to radio talk shows, based partially on Nielsen ratings but with substantial non-scientific and opinion-based alteration (and corresponding bias) from the Talkers editorial board.
[1] The magazine also publishes a yearly "Heavy Hundred," a completely subjective power ranking of the nation's talk radio hosts.
In 2009, it published the Frontier Fifty,[3] listing in alphabetical order a "Selection of Outstanding Talk Media Webcasters."
Talkers acquired RadioInfo.com, a radio news and information site previously owned and operated by the estate of Doug Fleming, in August 2012.
