Do they do the demo breakdown for markets other than the top 5?

 

[MarkW]

I give iHM credit where credit is due. They've done a good job bringing back WGCI from the ratings brink.

Hubbard's 101.9 The Mix has made an impressive comeback of its own.

I suspect a lot of stations in Chicago are very tightly packed with regard to AQH share in the age groupings posted above. That's a credit to the programmers in the Chicago market.

WBBM-AM had a significant jump in this book. It is funny that they are #1 overall but did not show up in the top five of any of the demos.

All of us geezers are tuned in.

Do they do the demo breakdown for markets other than the top 5?

They do. I believe they look at the Top 20. I wish they released a breakdown like this for all PPM markets though.

Upon closer inspection top 20 is what it looks like. All ppm would be nice.

Do they have a break down on how many listeners are from the AM station and how many are listening to WBBM via their FM station?

The Irrelevant Generation.

Do they have a break down on how many listeners are from the AM station and how many are listening to WBBM via their FM station?

Stations that simulcast can purchase that information from Nielsen, but no one else would have access to it.

 

[JJSPC]

It's mostly FM, otherwise they still would be mentioning 780 on the air which they almost never do.
