Chart on local v. syndicated shows for top markets?

1

1radionews

Hello all, I was wondering which stations are more or less like WCCO 830 AM around the country ... local hosts, still produce local news, relatively popular, etc.

I figure a chart showing the number of local v. syndicated shows might get me there.

Suggestions?

Also, in what major markets does this talk format not beat a primarily syndication based talk radio station in ratings?

Thanks,
Steven Clift

P.S. After having added Radio Scotland, NewsTalk ZB in Auckland, NZ, Cape Talk from South Africa, etc. to my highly curated news, talk, and more global English-language Android app, I am looking to add slice of American life streams to my mix. While my U.S. app users are mostly radio surfing abroad, I see my global listeners coming in to tour the U.S. as well. I am looking to review stations that share more or less regional experiences.

None. If you're the 2nd talk station in a market, you get to the bottom of the syndication barrel very quickly. Put another way, its is very hard to put together a compelling lineup if you don't have access to Limbaugh Hannity or Ramsey to fill 10 hours a day. And normally the "local" talk station will have at least two of these hosts on their air.

#1 Market - NYC 6+ Dec. '14:

WOR: 1.4 - Rush, Hannity, Ramsey
WABC: 1.5 - None of the above
 
Okay, that's one, for a blowtorch signal that just recently had two of those three hosts.

If you go through the remainder of the Top 12, does the trend hold?

No.
