And the April 2024 San Jose Radio PPM Ratings:

Any thoughts or observations?
 
You might want to use links to the Radio Insight ratings listing as they have better and more accurate format descriptors, have a greater number of prior book listings and... they are produced by the new head of this website!

Suggestion....
I think it's worth considering adding a direct link to that page in the "Links" drop-down (in the menu bar with Home, What's new, Forums, and Members) since ratings discussions are so frequent. I also find the pages linked from that page to be a handy reference to formats and slogans in a particular market.
 
I'm surprised to see that KGO has any ratings at all!

And also that KDFC is in the top ten, which I didn't expect. I guess classical is more popular than I realized?

Good idea.

Yes, among people, mostly, over 65!

I didn't think that there was much of a 65+ audience left around here! Especially one that listens to something other than news, talk or sports!

Are you kidding? In about 20 years, it’ll be the majority of listeners if ota radio listening continues its trajectory. With that of course means less money spent on advertising on AM/FM terrestrial stations.
 
Damn, I wish there was something different on KVVF. I guess Univision is sticking by it no matter how bad the ratings get; waste of a decent signal.

Well, @DavidEduardo has repeatedly mentioned it bills very well. Ratings aren’t everything.

Admittingly, I speak Spanish (though im not Hispanic) fluently because I’ve lived in Costarica for years and I find it to be a pretty solid offering. It’s basically a mix between KMEL and KMVQ but with Spanish hits. And there isn’t any lack of advertisers on it.

The bigger risk would be if Univision wants out of radio or the market.
 
105.7 is not a decent signal, that is the problem with any format on that signal.
Depends on where you're sitting as you listen. If you're in or near the South Bay, 105.7's 50K watts put out a strong, robust signal. But the further up the Peninsula (or East Bay) you get, the weaker it becomes. (Unless you have altitude -- if you're in the hills and have line-of-sight to Monument Peak, their signal remains strong.) Where 105.7 becomes weak, 100.7 becomes strong. So between the two signals -- take your pick of whichever is stronger where you are -- KVVF is listenable throughout most of the market.
