bad fall ratings for cbs

Looks like more changes could be on the way for CBS as WQYK loses to WFUS 25-54, WRBQ was flat at best with it's weak Christmas Music programming and WYUU is still in the toilet 18-34 and 18th 25 - 54 and getting beat in mornings by WLCC the spanish AM station. WOW

Crazy times to come.
 
Does anyone have the exact ratings? top 25-54? I heard Bubba talking a little bit about it this morning so I am curious to see them.
I can find 12+ but that means as much as a snow blower in Tampa.......
 
I like the slant you're attempting. QYK was less than a point, behind F U Skip, for the first time, in their history, and you're ready to flip the station over? If that was the bar, FUS wouldn't even still be competing.

RBQ played Christmas music, and you're crediting them with a loss? Is that how long it took whatever bright radio exec to can you??? I'm sure with that mentality, you can't be competitive, in this game at all.

If Maxima is so toilet ridden, flip one and go at them. oH, FORGOT! You have no power, or access to said power. Sorry.

I DO however realize that the little station, you guys LOVE to forget, did okay. I guess the sad part is we don't get mentioned in your CBS recap. Poor WiLD!

hILARIOUS
 
Interesting. Churban, Urban, or Urban AC is under the radar for the most part unless they do something "big" like hire or fire Olivia Fox. From what I can detect, Classic Rock, classic hits, and all forms or Rock or Alternative is what interests the demo's posting here the most.
 
Question for CBS. If Smooth Jazz is a dying format and WLLD is one of the strongest cluster members----------why not flip frequencies.?
 
“QYK was less than a point, behind F U Skip”,
WoW Wild, Now that a SLANT!

You really want to see something funny?
Go check out the 12+ numbers for QYK & FUS in the Lakeland & Sarasota markets.

Not a fair comparison. WQYK has no signal in the Sarasota market. Don't know about Lakeland, but I'll bet WFUS has a better signal there too.
 
I agree with Rmarino. not a fair comparison. 12+ also can't be used due to the huge 45+ demo that helps slant the numbers for stations like WDUV and WFLA. They don't have the 12-34 listeners but they do have the 45+ that skew they 12+.
Anyone in radio knows that....
And Orlando! you know that people just want to talk about the bad and not the good. You are doing a super job and I'm glad that you voice your opinion on here. Now if we could just get Fisher and Cowhead back on here like a couple years ago..... ;)
I would love to see the actual 25-54 book if you can share with us! ??? Thanks!
 
Ms.MRadio-Smooth Jazz IS dying, as it stands. No real mention of who's killing it, yet it is on life support. Most markets have chosen to give up on it, however we've chosen to fight and stick with our advertisers. They believe in the brand, as do we.

and as far as the formatic interests here, that's proves that it isn't about "radio", or "good radio", but relegated to rehashing memories or worse.

Barfly, I appreciate the stroke, but I use this board as a barometer for what "radio minds" of the market say, and I get let down from time to time. The assessment of talent in this market is a bit rough. There is some great talent, on WiLD, in Middays and Afternoons, who never get much attention yet, consistantly deliver top rating share. Not really for me, but proud of the team. No worries. I vent therefore I don't kill.

I learned that you can't post numbers exactly, BUT lemme try this. First, to help define this F U Skip slant. F U Skip ranked ahead of WQYK, respectively in the money demo, except mornings. (+.3), (-1.1), (+.6),(+.4), (+1)

If that a reason for a pizza party, I'm all for the extra carbs, however when Rocky whooped Clubber Langs ass, Lang's corner didn't break out Papa John's when he landed a left. WQYK is fine, and I think you all have seen that the station hasn't been shaken by anyone who left. Nuff of that.

Bubba is ahead of the midget (4.6), in the money, almost at 14 shares. After, you got some comedy guy, some christmas, and some WiLD sh*#. Don't ask how that happened, but it won't occur again, if we can help it. I know Obama got hip pop-ular music mentioned in older circles but WiLD top 5, top 3, and even 2 in most key dayparts in enough to make anyone at 4002 order another drink.

Fish and Boy are busy kicking my ass in our charity challenge, but I'll give them your regards. Yeah, to competing shows are in a race to raise....what am I thinking? I forgot. Nevermind.

Thanks Wild Out. I am smack in the WDUV/ WFLA demos. I never listen to WFLA no matter what happens. I like the music on DUV, but I wish it had jocks and personality all day. I'd like an all night guy to keep old ladies company. I also wish that WTMP put a better signal into Tampa. I wish we had a real Urban AC . Of course I have no expectations---------but since we mentioned Obama--------when I was at the Freedom House in Hattiesburg in 1964------------I never expected tomorrow. Miricles can happen. I just want to share my joy that centuries of oppression may finally be starting to end. When I mention jocks in the past, I forgot Frankie Crocker who was speaking out on WZUM and WWRL before it was cool.

ROCK ON
