Older Audiences & Advertiser Appeal (For All Markets)

This shows that Buffalo has plummeted from market #25 down to its current #59 spot. The top station then had a 17 share. Now, the #1 station has a 9 share. WKBW once had a 12 share and now a 0.2.
Many markets like Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Detroit have dropped enormously in population rank as our manufacturing moved to Asia or the less unionized South.
That's some significant population and listening erosion...
That is not listening erosion for radio; it is listening fragmentation. Many FMs did not show, and there were 5 AMs in the top 12... one was a daytimer!

Today, the two country market has 27 commercial stations and 8 non-commercial ones. And that does not count LPFMs and translators.
