KYLD and KRBQ continue their decline, interesting. Pretty standard fair for everyone else. Off season for KGMZ, the normal “offenders” at the top (KCBS, KOIT, KQED)

I kind of wonder what iHeart is gonna do about 94.9.

Anything going on at Alice? Their ratings continue to slip.

Did they jump ship to Live 105?

 

[MarkW]

I agree; I think Live 105 is impinging on them. Will be interesting to see what happens over the next few cycles.

Audacy has a lot of underperforming properties in SF. KGMZ and KRBQ live on the bottom end! I don’t think Alice and Live listeners share much in common. Adult contemporary is just a saturated format in the bay, plus KEZR is hot competition in the South Bay, so Alice already had less room to break in over KOIT, KIOI and KEZR. Not to mention the very soft AC KISQ.

KYLD's ratings have been in decline for several years now and it will be interesting to see what iHeart will do with Wild 94-9!
