And that is just a little more than what WADO, a limited AM, billed in that year.
Not your money at stake
Do you really believe signal challenged 94.7 with a NJ transmitter and limited brand history can be number one in New York, and bill at the same level as the heritage AC station?
Z-100 did it but they had to move their antenna first!
Couple of notes here from a punk born in Brooklyn, lol.
Except for the few hundred times I heard 'A Kings County grand jury today ....' on the news, I never heard it called Kings.
No civilian ever said they lived in Richmond County. And for the longest while, Staten Island was said to've been considered a NYC borough simply to hold up one end of the Verrazzano Bridge. That span was built in order that motorists from Brooklyn could get to 'Juhysey' easier.
Word has it that the sign on the Brooklyn side of the Verrazzano -- something like 'Welcome to Brooklyn, the 4th Largest City in the Country' -- which appeared in the opening credits of Welcome Back Kotter, was stolen at least three times.
Kojak's TV precinct was 'Manhattan South'. And Mad Magazine once did a funny takeoff on Kojak, where someone mentioned investigating a crime in San Francisco. He said, 'Nah. That's Manhattan West's problem.'
On embedded markets : Perhaps David has some info or correlation regarding the municipal territorialism between an actual proposal to rename the far eastern half of Suffolk County 'Peconic County' -- and the later issuance of the Riverhead/Hamptons book

I don't think Big 105.9 is going anywhere, but perhaps I am wrong.
However, WBGG has played minimal, if any, emo as of late, and Miami is simply not receptive to either Active Rock or Alternative especially the past 15-20 years, even when the aforementioned formats were in more favorable conditions compared to now.
So what WBGG will do when they have to play songs after 2004 remains to be seen.
So far, however, Classic Rock has a longer shelf life than any other format. Songs from the '60s and '70s remain popular with younger kids.
I remember MS from barney miller eps.
They had LT Scanlon who was always trying to investigate them.
The guy that played Scanlon played another character on a prev ep but i guess they liked him so they brought him back.
It depends. Queen? Certainly. Emerson, Lake, & Palmer? Not really. A good reason why 90s and early 00s rock tracks have supplanted the less popular 70s ones.
Though it should be noted that WBGG does play the likes of Nickelback, Creed and Staind from time to time, as maligned as they are during their prime.
The Hamptons book was cancelled because no station out there wanted to pay the higher cost of the PPM. I doubt that has changed.On embedded markets : Perhaps David has some info or correlation regarding the municipal territorialism between an actual proposal to rename the far eastern half of Suffolk County 'Peconic County' -- and the later issuance of the Riverhead/Hamptons book
As late as the early 70's, CKLW was king in Cleveland.It even got into Brooklyn when the Netherland Antilles 100,000 watter did not interfere.I miss that station,WKBW Buffalo and the great WHN 1050 Country.
Yes, it got decent ratings but was not the all day, overall winner there. It simply covered the areas of Cleveland that the limited signals of most of the Cleveland stations did not cover.
TWR was 500,000 watts. I know. I had a station on 805, just 1100 miles away and it destroyed us at night till I moved to 810.
Of course not but it'll make more money than a country station
It was said on this board that WNSH, as a Country station, only made around 2 million in its final year. Yet they had higher ratings then than back in 2014-2015. It seems that Cumulus was doing a better job of selling time than Audacy. Perhaps the more national focus of the Nash brand brought in more non-local advertising?
I agree with that. When Cumulus added the stations in NY and SF(KSJO) in 2014, they did it with the knowledge that country wasn't a big local seller in those markets, and so it would be mainly a platform for national sales. They got out of SF very quickly but continued to use NY that way. Entercom/Audacy had never done the national programming thing before, so it was out of their league.

Then explain why every country concert in the metro is sold out within hours, I doubt its all the burbanites buying the tickets up.
Concert sales are utterly irrelevant.
