My guess is that the ethnic composition for classic rock is similar to that of Country. If that's correct, the demos for Country seem competitive with those of classic rock.
As long as we're guessing, I'd speculate that classic rock does even worse in Black and Hispanic than country does, even in places like San Antonio.

Correct, but it does slightly better with Asians. Which is why country does so badly in San Francisco. But classic rock is OK.

How do you get the Asian demographic analysis for classic rock and country? Hasn't David posted several times that Nielsen doesn't break out Asian numbers?

Classic rock among later generation Hispanics does quite well. Rock from that 70's and 80's core era did magnificently in Latin America in the bigger cities. An example: in 1983 when I put a Beautiful Music FM on in Lima, out of 22 or 23 FMs, about 17 or 18 played some kind of English language Top 40, Hot AC or rock with rock being the more prevalent.

Those of us who have done research of a proprietary nature in markets with big Asian populations have seen exactly what BigA points out. The statement he made says "better" and not "amazingly". It is a question of scale.
 
An excellent move was announced today; Nick Cannon's lame content has been removed from middays.

I'm glad to see station management has come to the realization putting him in that daypart was unwise.

Here are specifics on the new midday host at The Block. He comes from Hot97:

Turns out there's an adjacent move that likely contributed to the Cipha Sounds hire:
the "Nick Cannon Radio" show has been removed from Skyview Networks syndication as of 12/30/2022.
The Block and one other affiliate were the last stations to drop the show.

What a mess. RadioInk got a statement from Cannon:

Cannon issued Radio Ink the following statement. “I will have a major announcement for you in the next few weeks. As a result, I am sad to say that I had to make the decision to wrap up Nick Cannon Radio and Cannon’s Countdown. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Skyview Networks in the influencer space. I am so grateful to all of our wonderful radio partners.”
 
Keep in mind that the company that owned WPLJ before Cumulus also went bankrupt.
True, but PLJ was billing circa $30 million annually before the great recession. Citadel's massive debt load coupled with the great recession were the reasons it filed BK.
 
Many of the major companies had some problem and filed for it. iHeart did. Cumulus did. Alpha Media did. Audacy is one that didn't, and they may nor may not need to in the future.

That said, their New York cluster bills very well. WINS, WFAN and WCBS account for most of it. They are among the highest in the country.
 
What a mess. RadioInk got a statement from Cannon:
Nick is a mess and disgusting and creepy. Who has like 12 kids with different women?! This man does not know how to treat women with respect. I was never a fan of Mariah Carey as a person I find her to be a diva, but she made a smart choice leaving Nick. I can only imagine what she dealt with and I feel so sorry she had that experience.
 
If there’s no HD on a Philadelphia first adjacent, yes. 106.7 came in reasonably well at one point, but I think every NYC FM has a for adjacent with HD now.
