Kiss will not beat B96 by increasing Kiss's listeners, b96 will lose enough listeners to 93.5/103.1 which will eat away at their numbers and cause Kiss to wind up higher. It's like saying "We fired/laid off 20,000 employees this year, we didn't increase sales but revenues rose". It's a facade. Kiss isn't doing anyu better, B96 is just doing worse. Time for some soul searching over there. They're going to have to finally run the radio station. We'll see if there's any brainpower left.
I believe I've stated this months ago.
Reggaeton's orginal intention is and will be bastardized by today's urban hip hop artists and as long as that continues B96's Hispanic number will erode which is why their numbers are falling. It's written in the stone (to coin an E,W&F song)

Other stations, my views
<font color=3333ff>While I agree that 103.1 will hurt B96, if you remember Kiss usually maintained in the 2's. Most recently they've been breaking low 3's, so that's definitely something to watch. In no way do I like Kiss, but the book shows that there is slightly something going on over there.
As for Power 92, the effects of dropping Doug Banks is finally hitting them and I wish them a great lesson learned : )
With Univision, I think that they put La Kalle on too quickly after the flip of WPPN 106.7. 106 took a nasty fall.
Quite confused as to why the Zone fell so sharply. I'm guessing there were a few big names on the Zone that left the building recently.
1390 WGRB (WGCI-AM) is enjoying very steady numbers, and for their signal they are doing respectively well.
WSRB is a lost cause, time for The Groove to resurface...... the only format in this market that Crawford did with success I believe.
Years and years, it's always been WGN and WGCI. Aint it amazing, two extremely different demos at the complete top. Wonder if anyone will ever break a 7 ever again.

I'm thinking the only way that would happen is for the Cubs to be in the running for the World Series.

I agree with your response. Kiss is not any better. B 96 has just gotten worse over time. I would like to know what their night show does in terms of ratings. It can't be nearly as good as when Julian, Tim, and Candi did it. Stylez and Roman are some wannabe hip people that overdo it in my opinion and only got their job because of who they know. I would not be surprised if that is where they are losing numbers at. It is pretty bad unless you are around the age of 16.
Also, don't give Kiss any credit. They have not really changed up their product or image since they signed on. They are just benefiting from other stations eating away at B's audience.
Power 92 actually really needs to do some soul searching. They will never eat at GCI's numbers which is fact, so time to tweak things in a hurry there. Time to decide if they will go all Hip-Hop or straight Rhythmic maybe to get at Kiss and B's numbers. If they continue their urban format, they are gonna fall away.

Nooooooo, say it isn't so.... (sighs)
Lord, I hope Eddie and Jobo can hang on for several more years. I don't think I can handle "Styles and Roman in the morning". At least, not right now.

LOL Matt,
It is true.
And I think E&J are on contract til 2009. So unless Ininifty/Viacom buy them out early or re-assign them (doubt it) they will be around for a while.
