I'm out of state; what was last year's revenue total for NYC?

See David Hinckley's N.Y. Daily News article from 4/13/2009 that ranks the Top 25 NYC Radio Stations in Revenue for 2008. Figures for these stations add up to $631.0 million. (Add millions for the stations outside the Top 25.)

For comparison, see the N.Y. Daily News article from 4/8/2008 that ranks the Top 26 (+ 5 more) NYC Radio Stations in Revenue for 2007 that also include those station's revenues for 2006. The 2007 figures listed add up to $722.0 million (add more for stations outside the Top 26+5). The 2006 figures listed add up to $733.8 million (add more for stations outside the Top 26).

From an article referencing the BIA Financial Network figures for 2007, the 2007 total revenue figure was $755.0 million. It appears that the 2006 total revenue figure was around $782.4 million (a 3.5% decline from this figure would arrive at the 2007 figure of $755.0 million). The 2005 grand total is unavailable. The total of the 2004 list (see below) is $777.9 million (add more for stations outside the Top 25).

Some figures from 2005 (in millions): WINS-AM 60.8; WLTW-FM 58.9; WCBS-AM 56.2; WFAN-AM 52.5; WXRK-FM 50.8; WCBS-FM 23.9; (WWFS-FM) WNEW-FM 15.4.

Top 25 for 2004 (in millions): 1. WLTW-FM 70.2; 2. WINS-AM 60.6; 3. WCBS-AM 55.7; 4. WFAN-AM 52.5; 5. WXRK-FM 52.2; 6. WHTZ-FM 48.6; 7. WQHT-FM 40.8; 8. WPLJ-FM 39.6; 9. WKTU-FM 38.4; 10. WSKQ-FM 36.9; 11. WCBS-FM 34.1; 12. WAXQ-FM 33.5; 13. WRKS-FM 28.8; 14. (WRXP-FM) WQCD-FM 27.0; 15. WBLS-FM 25.5; 16. WABC-AM 24.0; 17. WWPR-FM 23.9; 18. WOR-AM 19.6; 19. WQXR-FM 15.4; 20. WPAT-FM 14.8; 21. WMCA-AM 8.3; 22. (WWFS-FM) WNEW-FM 7.9; 23. WEPN-AM 7.8; 24. WADO-AM 7.7; 25. WCAA-FM 4.1

Market revenue for 2004 was $842 million, to $843 the next year, down to $782 in '06, then $755 in '07 and $683 in '08. Projection is $580 million for this year.
