Cornerstone Research is really dedicated to providing quality software solutions for radio. With over fifty years' combined experience in radio programming, research, software sales and development, we understand your business. And we love radio!

Cornerstone Research is the team behind two of radio's most-used software software programs, XTrends and The Analyst.  We're also pleased to introduce Hook Exchange!

XTrends is the industry standard in trend/extrap software .  Every major group uses XTrends, most of them group-wide, including Clear Channel, CBS, Citadel, Emmis, Cox, Univision, Radio One, SBS, Bonneville, and Greater Media.  XTrends also works with PPM Data, giving users a fast and easy way to see Months (books) AND Weeklies (trends) together, as well as custom averages! 

The Analyst is radio's premier delivery vehicle for music research data.  Many of radio's top researchers provide their callout and music test data in The Analyst.

Hook Exchange is a service that offers high quality hooks and sophisticated software to aid in the creation, management, and distribution of hook lists.


"We use XTrends to give us what we cannot get from Arbitron, the most accurate assessment and presentation of the data, which helps us stay ahead of the competition. XTrends is an essential element for continuing our success."
