As for as 12+ numbers, the answer is no. The Double O stations have a 12+ total week combined that is half a share behind WCOS.
The real story is that WNOK is tied with WHXT for second place, with its highest 12+ in years. The Big DM retakes the lead, Kiss 98.5 (WLXC) dives. WOMG is #5 12+, proving that in some markets Oldies is not a dying format. B106 holds where it is, WARQ continues a slow slide (as are many Alternative Rock stations -- ( e.g., Alt Rock WXRK NY goes talk in 2006). WLTY shows a drop, but with the change to Variety Hits so new, there's no telling what that number is indicative of). That's about it. I am sure the in-demo and rankings with non-comms may show a better picture, but 12+s are all we can discuss publicly.

Re: Columbia Country (edited)
okay, so ive been told to repost without the quoting of numbers. here goes.
with roper falling in the ratings and charlie and pam going up what can roper possibly think his chances are from this point forward. i don't understand why someone like that would hang around where he cant win. but i also cant imagine anyone hiring him after doing so poorly in the ratings in a market this size. am i off base or not?

This is your first post on here and your a Columbia radio vet? lol.
Go back and read the book again, I'm sure they have one in the sales office at Clear Channel, and look at Double O in combo. You'll change your tune. Also...these two stations were not even on the air in Columbia...less than a year ago. Do some serious research on air personalities and you'll find that people have no idea about Charlie and Pam. Roper and John Boy and Billy rule the non-urban market.

And Jonathan Rush, too. Unless NOK is considered urban. Of course, at times, it is...

no, i am not a radio employee. use to be. but i have seen the summer breakouts and roper isnt making a dent in columbia. and the wcos morning show went up. thats the facts. all that marketing and still in the hole. you mentioned combo. i din't know roper was being simulcasted. but even then he cant beat wcos. so whats the point. dont know about research-havent seen any in a few years. but if arbitron is what radio lives by (and it is) then roper should be packing his bags soon. we could at least have fun on here and start an "office pool" for a date and market that he will pack up and move to. i'd say somewhere in the northeast no later than june first 2006. any more takers? come on, i'll keep the tally. i guess everyone on here can tell i'm just not a roper fan. that dude is just awful. but what i speak is truth and facts. unlike tgaradio.
