Can't believe that KMEL, a once dominate station in San Francisco fell to a 1.8, its lowest share since the Summer 1984 ratings period, when they flipped from AOR to CHR/Rhythmic.

I love the new bar graphs for the various breakdowns. It's true Radio Insight!

Wow, KNEW actually found a listener.

It looks like KCBS and KQED have basically been tied for #1 for awhile now, with KQED having a slight edge.

Wow, KNEW actually found a listener.

That's 960, isn't it?

*goes to check*

Yup.

It'll always be KABL to me, regardless of whatever format it airs now.

What format is it actually airing? I've landed on 960 a few times in the last week and can't figure out if they have a format, much less a strategy.

I was wondering that myself.

At least when they were affiliated with Bloomberg, they were airing something useful.

But whatever they're airing now.... *scratches head*

The format is Fox Sports by day, conservative talk by night. Per

KNEW (AM) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

the reason for the dual format is that Audacy-owned KGMZ-FM has the rights to carry Fox Sports overnights in San Francisco.

Question to anyone out there: I have not seen for a while any ratings on KNBR. Since KGMZ has been on the scene in 2012, I love seeing how KGMZ and KNBR fare. Any updates?

Cumulus, the owner of KNBR is currently in a legal battle with Nielsen as its previous contract expired. As such, their ratings are not being made available by Nielsen as it only publicly shares subscribing stations.

KNEW to me will always be 910 AM playing country music back when I first listen to the station in the mid 1980's
