The harsh winter eased a bit in March, but still helped many All-News stations in the East to good ratings. WTOP Washington (along with KCBS San Francisco) stayed at #1. WBBM Chicago and WWJ Detroit were at #2 and both KYW Philadelphia and WBZ Boston finished at #3. WCBS and WINS were both top ten, the two highest rated AM stations in New York. And coverage of the mudslide that devastated a small community near Seattle helped boost KOMO.
