Cleveland Radio December Ratings
- Thread starter skiwest
- Start date
2 out of the top 3 were Christmas music stations...đź’˛ee why they jump to it as early as they can.
In the top 10 we had 4 iHeart stations, all 4 Audacy stations, 1 from Urban One, and 1 from Ideastream (looks like people like their NPR on WKSU).
And it also looks like people like their Browns talk, as The Fan keeps moving up
WNWV may have newly signed back on with Nielsen, as they didn't even show up in the books the last 3 months.
Q is still outkissing Kiss (almost doubling them up).

The Cavs are also heard on WMMS along with WTAM and its FM translator.
Remember, WTAM had a double whammy with Clay Travis & Buck Sexton taking over for Rush Limbaugh after his death on top of Triv/Bloomdaddy.
For the better part of 2 decades - outside of tweaks on the fringes and short lived experiments here and there - WTAM's schedule was etched in stone...Wills and Coleman/Snyder in AM drive, Glenn Beck late mornings, Rush at noon, Triv in PM drive, Tribe/Guards and Cavs in the evening, and Coast to Coast AM overnight.
So when you lose your 2 heavy hitters in the middle of the lineup (Rush and Triv) almost simultaneously, you're gonna feel it.
WTAM never had a highly rated morning show, which is deadly for a 50K news-talk plus Rush's demos were primarily upper end, so the station had warning signs for a while.
To be fair, considering Bill Wills has been the morning host since 1998, his ratings couldn't have been that bad.
He's been steady - nothing Lanigan-esque, but solid and consistent.
WKSU/WCPN’s showing (even with the 6+ beauty pageant demo) is all the more impressive as their two on-channel boosters in Parma and Warrensville Heights/Lyndhurst haven’t been activated yet.
