Add listener count and other analytics for internal Radio use
Currently, the Programming department uses Google site analytics to estimate listener counts to determine things like the top 20 shows of the week, show of the quarter, etc. However, this is not an accurate representation of who is actually listening to Radio: some people may visit the site but not actually listen, and a notable number of users listen from the mobile (iOS and Android) apps. Now, given Radio's admittedly small listener base, it could be discouraging to display listener counts on the website, but having a way for internal Radio departments like Dev and Programming to access specialized analytics would be useful, I think. (Also, while https://uclaradio.com/stream does provide a "number of listeners", the accuracy of that number is questionable).
Ideas in mind include:
- Site visitor count (optional)
- Listener count (split up between site, android, and ios)
- Listener count per show (per week, total)
