Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill Radio Ratings: January 2024
- Thread starter pjc1961
- Start date
Boy....2 years ago? Maybe longer? They were pretty heavy on the 80's for AC standards, and heavier sounding titles, too...but I want to say 18 months ago, they doubled down on that sound.
WKQC was always a gold leaning AC. The transition to the current format started around 2019 when WLKO started kicking WKQC's ass. WKQC just copied WLKO's format (per programming and sales people at Beasley). Jack Daniel took over as PD in 2021, and that's when they dropped all the currents and went heavy 80s. Jack Daniel is in his 70s and has primarily programmed rock based formats. Ironically, he was WLKO's first PD when it launched in 2012.
I had no idea The Lake had been around that long.
Too long! If you like a jockless tired presentation this is a great example...boring!
What happened to the SHOW in the radio business? How about a presentation by people who are excited and involved in the music they play?
The Lake website is a waste too. Nothing useful there, nothing that really promøtes the staton. Cookie cutter, it could be in Denver or Cincinnati.
Mix 107.9 and K-104.7 have better web content, even though I believe the pink and blue used on the Mix website tells me their emphasis is on women.
What do men like?
I'd say sports talk, but even that's gotten unlistenable on the local and national level.
I meant music.
In my case it's 63 Big WAYS, which exists only because the owner apparently likes the music and has a rock-leaning classic hits station whose ratings are never shown but it was always moderately successful.

Talk and rock are the only male dominated formats. There are outliers, but generally that’s the case across the country. Most stations target women.
Country?
Pretty balanced now. Both hip-hop and (Spanish) reggaetón lean male in most markets. As does Alt Rock, Classic Rock and other rock derivatives.
In my case that would be WAME.
550 or 1480? 1480 was before I moved to The Queen City!
550, of course. Whatever is on 1480 now, they have been Goofy in recent years.
They tend to talk about 92.9 but I'm usually outside the area where I can receive it.
I suspected as much, which is why it was a question and not a statement. Thanks!
