Cleveland Radio October Ratings

 

[vjm]

Gotta believe the Guardians playoff run + election talk gave WTAM a boost to reach #1 (Guards also probably gave WMMS their little boost as well)

The Fan got a nice little Browns boost.

Q is out Kissing Kiss by an even wider margin.

All in all, the top 10 features 5 iHeart stations (including #1 WTAM), 3 Audacy stations (with a fourth just missing the cut) and 2 from Urban One (formerly Radio One)

Kiss is the only iHeart Cleveland station not in that top ten list.

You forgot WARF 1350 The Gambler (which didn't even register on the chart), so 5/7 from the iHeart Cleveland stable are in the top 10

3/4 of the Audacy Cleveland cluster are in the top 10 with the 4th station (Q104) barely missing the cut

WARF is an Akron station pretending to be in Cleveland. It's daytime 10 mV/m signal only reaches about 15% of the Cleveland MSA. At night, co-channel interference limits it further.

3/4 of the Audacy Cleveland cluster are in the top 10 with the 4th station (Q104) barely missing the cut

In 25-54, the lowest station is 8th and that is WDOK. WQAL is above it.

And that is an Akron station. While it covers most of Cuyahoga and Medina counties very well, Geauga, Lake and Lorain are very fringe.

I think a lot of people forgot about The Gambler since WKNR and The Fan are the ones with an audience.

True as it became a Cleveland station back in 2001 as a result of the big frequency switch. The Gambler is also an Akron station that is promoted as a Cleveland station.

For the sake of clarity, here is the official iHeart Cleveland cluster, which includes both WAKS and WARF.

Gotta quit getting so hung up on the city of license, as it really hasn't meant anything for years.

However, coverage does matter. in the case of WARF, it only partially covers the Cleveland market. But, of course, Akron has become such a revenue-poor market that being marginal in Cleveland is better than being dominant in Akron.
