All that is available to "civilians" are the 12+ numbers. I haven't seen anything in the TU so far...
Here's a link to 12+

WGNA is the only country station in Albany had the spectacular ratings. They're still #1. WKLI did great ratings especially with the Christmas season and WTRY had oldies on where they still have Tom Kent on. Guess what, WBPM did the same thing every night except the "Solid Gold Jukebox" which is on Friday nights. Good lord! Maybe if this show will move to WKIP, they will replacing it with another Tom Kent on Fridays and they'll have it every night at 7:00 PM on "Cool 92.9", is it just a rumor or maybe if it is true?
Tom Kent can also be heard on WUBE. But Tom Kent is a waste of space playing the music that what it's now called "Classic Top 40". WBPM and WTRY did the same exact show. Can Albany listeners could not get "Cool 92.9"? That's far away, I heard what is up in Albany, they have "Cruisin' 93.5" on there from Hudson, NY where it goes up to Albany. Can the Hudson Valley can hear WTRY? No!
WTRY is the only station that only has a web stream. WBPM and WZCR didn't have any stream at all. Why is CC thinking about putting the stream on "Cool 92.9" and "Cruisin' 93.5"? It doesn't show up on the site at all.

Yes, WGNA is the only country station in the Albany market, and yes they have decent ratings in most dayparts thanks to having a format that shares well with several others (i.e. N/T, AC, Classic Rock), and having some choice rural/suburban diary placement. If PPM's are ever used in this market though, you'll see GNA's numbers head south purdy darn quick.

Umm, nope. WTRY went all-xmas as well, as they do every year.

Your posts give me a headache. Let's break this down. First off, Tom Kent's show is rockin! A modern oldies format, of which 50's & early 60's are thankfully no longer a part of. The show is nationally syndicated, so yes it will be heard on stations in different markets. WUPE carries it for Western MA, WTRY carries it for the Capital Region, and WBPM carries (carried?) it for the Hudson Valley. WZCR did not carry that show, I think they run Mike Harvey's program instead. Kent is an excellent jock, putting on a very listenable show each night.
Now, as for signal overlap... 92.9 and 93.5 have a comparable signal in Albany proper, but both stations are not listenable on the average radio. Both stations can be heard in the car up to about Exit 8 on I-87, before northern stations start taking over the channels. 92.9 throws a better signal up & down the valley, whereas 93.5 is strictly a local signal for Hudson & Catskill. In fact, where I lived in Greene County (all of 13 miles from WZCR's stick) their signal totally stunk while 92.9 (22 miles distant) was clear.
WUPE can be heard in parts of the Albany metro, but that signal is only reliable on eastward facing hills. 100.1 is topographically blocked to most of the immediate Capital District, although the signal does pass thru to parts of Saratoga County ok.
WTRY is obviously a difficult catch in the Hudson Valley, thanx to 1st adjacents WKZE and WCTW.
One other oldies station you seem to always overlook, that being WCKM Lake George. 98.5 used to put a decent signal all the way down to Clifton Park until WTRY fired up their digital noise generator IBOC transmitter. Now WCKM is lucky to be listenable anywhere in or south of Saratoga Springs.
Any other off-topic observations you wish to discuss? Or will you persist on turning every thread here into a comparison of out-of-market stations? (This *was* an Albany thread at first)
Thanks for the info AMonFM. I guess the soon-to-be WBPM and WCZR is still carries oldies but it's not even listenable in some areas. I was at the new Wal-Mart in Catskill last weekend that both 92.9 and 93.5 are still carrying oldies when I was on a ride. What will happen to 92.9 next? I guess other people are leaving except for Tony Flash. Tony will still be around when he's gone. I checked up on Cool 92.9's website that Tony Flash, Nick Charles, Rick Knight and Rick McCaffery are still listed there, but I don't see any of these jocks go from that station, but not yet. Rick will do three more morning shows until the format change. Will have to wait and see.

However, that isn't much of a loss.....

I could not agree more with Jack Ruby....this is true more and more everyday. If they could stop the back slapping, self serving goofy morning show with Dud Miner and his not so bright partner, they might have a better shot. It is one reason that people overlook them.
The music on the Station has however gotten much better lately.

I guess when there's only one country station in a given market, they will get the ratings. I think those 2 idiots on 'GNA could be replaced by anyone; they can't even run a board. Their morning show is awful....
As far as 'CKM goes, the morning show must be earning their keep as they haven't curtailed the backslappin' and inside jokes. Good think GF is an unrated market....most painful. I haven't been in the area lately; do they still voicetrack middays?? Anyone know if their advertising is all traded out like it used to be?? Don't know if the new owners are big on trades. Looks like Miner hasn't missed too many meals....
All my opinion, of course...fire away ;D
