Cox had a good month 6+. The River is in double digits. Kind of like Christmas in July. The mini vans have started hauling kids to school so I expect the Fish to improve.
The poor showing of The Game is quite stunning. The massive ratings of The River are equally stunning.A few things in the July monthly seem notable:
- An 11 share for The River is kind of amazing.
- Why is The Bull doing so poorly? The new morning show sounds great. Maybe people just recently became used to listening to 101.5, and the show needs to become established. Also, Kristen Gates has been out for the past month due to surgery, and her fill-in during afternoon drive is kind of sub-par.
- The Fan, on a little translator, is clobbering a high-power FM, The Game. Baseball season is part of that, and of course Atlanta has never been a good market for the Sports format. The Fan does sound really good for a station with a poor facility and despite beating The Game, low ratings.
Maybe The Game is a cursed brand. Audacy hasn’t gotten very far with it in San Francisco either.The poor showing of The Game is quite stunning. The massive ratings of The River are equally stunning.
Also, when was the last time the gap between WSB and WABE is less than a 2 share?When was the last time WSB was 5th?
Hey, at least The Game is still beating the 97.9 and 102.9 translators. Too bad the 94.5 translator squeaked past them in the ratings.The poor showing of The Game is quite stunning. The massive ratings of The River are equally stunning.
And the subchannels on WWPW are gone as well. Since the 4th of July. Can’t get Fox-FM on HD-4.The HD channels of the Bull are running the main channel? What happened with that??
Did Rock 100.5 get a bump up in ratings with them playing more music on the station and dropping the Braves ball games? Sometimes it's not just that easy to "fix" the station.I don't have last summer's ratings bit I bet a lot of 680 the Fan's increase is due to Rock 100.5 not carrying the Braves games. If there is no improvement in 92.9 by September Falcons football, then there could be issues with their programming. They did add a mid morning show.
Prediction: If there is a change in 92.9's management within the next 2 years, Steak Shapiro will take over. No one is irreplaceable but Mike Conti does a lot for The Game. But if some one gets to take the blame the "Product Manager" which I guess is Audacy's version of Program Director / Operations manager would be the target.
Perhaps some of the listeners that left 92.9 went to 97.1 and 100.5.Did Rock 100.5 get a bump up in ratings with them playing more music on the station and dropping the Braves ball games? Sometimes it's not just that easy to "fix" the station.
