Summer listening patterns (more music, less news) were over by this rating period, which goes from September to October. That helped several All-News stations as the kids got back to school and adults got back to work. WBBM Chicago, KCBS San Francisco and WTOP Washington were at #1. KYW Philadelphia and WWJ Detroit were at #4 and WBZ Boston was #5. KNX Los Angeles jumped from #14 in August to #7. WINS and WCBS New York inched closer to the top 10.
