Buffalo Area September '23 trends

Radio Online correctly calls the market Buffalo-Niagara Falls. The only organization claiming Buffalo-Toronto is WNY Public Broadcasting.

That's because WNED-TV is on cable systems throughout southern Ontario.

Kiss 98.5 plays a lot of the songs Star 102.5 used to play. It seems like they started playing a lot more stuff from the 2000's ever since Star went off

It seems to me that they seem to have gone the route that CHUM-FM in Toronto has; playing today's hits along with throwback tracks(though Kiss is top 40 and CHUM-FM is a hot AC station).

BTW...I'll admit I'm embarrassed over the title of this thread. It's my mistake.

I fixed it for you! No charge, either. 😇

WYRK is in a downward spiral at the moment. The Wolf has sank back to a 1.5, so they obviously aren't the reason for WYRK's current slide. Maybe Buffalo doesn't need two stations serving Cow Pie.

The "New" 96.1 only has a mediocre 4 share. The EMF station isn't listed, so only other subscribers can see where they stand since Audacy sold 102.5...

I thought WYRK is / was / always number 1

I think The New 96.1 is planning to do all Christmas at some point on Wednesday. They announced that today I believe.

Same with Big WECK 2.

MOST of the time, it has been. But SOMETHING has gone haywire, and no one can pin down the reason.

WYRK hasn't been #1 12+ in 2023. They've been no better than #2, and as low as #4 this year.

True.
