Even in one of the more southern markets where news does not do as well, KNX in LA has improved both in 25-54 and 12+ since adding an FM simulcast.

Alt 92.3 to Become WINS Simulcast

We need deeetailz. LOL. For those of us who don’t listen, etc. Ya gotta spill the gossip.
What are those numbers, then, that Buddy Shula often refers to as "trends" in the Buffalo forum if they're not weeklies?
There are no weeklies in diary markets. In fact, there are no trends any more.
Trends in diary markets were unweighted averages of two months of one book and one of the other in between the four annual books. Now they have 12 full books
What is issued in Buffalo every 4 weeks is a 12 week rolling average that is fully weighted. There is no single month book in diary markets, just 3-month books that cover 12 weeks. PPM markets have 13 "monthly" single month "books" and weekly subscriber only trend reports.
The long story short is that Howard agreed on the point on Ed Sheeran. They also were mocking how there was a lot of celebration about the death of a music station, and generally poking holes in the way Audacy handled the format change.
Are you able to share audio of Stern talking about it?
No matter how “this” format change was handled, I would believe Stern would have a dog in the hunt after his years there. Was he upset about the actual change or just how lame it was? Maybe he wanted to be included in the goodbyes, but probably would be tough contractually. Although, my guess is he still could get away with whatever he wants.
For copyright reasons, I won't.
He had no interest in being part of it, I think he sees it as unfortunate that the station is a shell of what it was, and that alternative rock was sacrificed for an aging format regardless the reason.
The word "Stereo" appears on the LCD display of my Insignia HD Radio Tabletop, so no.
I don't think he cared other than to believe that the station went down the tubes after he left. He also lamented the general decline of music on the radio, rock in particular. He generally reflected on how rock radio used to be cool, but that there is not much interest in it anymore.
Writers Guild Of America Staffers At WINS New York Ratify New Contract.
Writers Guild of America, East members of Audacy news WINS-AM/FM New York have overwhelmingly ratified a new collective bargaining agreement with management. The new three-year contract includes minimum wage increases
Writing staff nets a new contract for Audacy New York's WINS Radio.
What was conveniently omitted is any kind of commentary about America's two youngest generations now being primarily interested in rhythmic music and not rock. There is a decline in rock music "on the radio" because interest in rock has been declining for more than two decades now.
Is it me, or did they add reverb to WINS now that it’s on FM? Or has it always had reverb and I never noticed.?
Good catch! I hear it too. It's very subtle, I really had to listen for it and I don't know if it was always there.
Baby boomer denial. An entire generation convinced not only that its particular iteration of popular music was great, but that it should be imposed on all future generations since anything else can automatically be dismissed as inferior.
You might try tuning in 1010 to see if it's there.
Also selective memory. He was there when the quality of the music was falling. People listened to K-Rock for him, not the music. So when he left, so did the audience.
