As ente explained, it is, sort of, Brooklyn. But Nielsen does several amalgamations in the NYC metro. The Brookly and Staten Island are called "Kings" and then ther is "Queens" and, IIRC, the Bronx is combined with Manhattan for "New York".
Diversity would mean include people from all backgrounds. People that are different from each other. Diversity is different. Hip hop is quite diverse. You have artists from different backgrounds. Also there are different sounds.
I havent listened to WLTW in awhile but i know they used to play "heartbreaker."
County names are political "sub-divisions" in New York. Every square inch of New York is also located in a Town, except in the 5 boroughs of New York City, where the Towns were merged into the borough/county.

I should add that if/when Audacy flips WINS and WCBS News Radio to FM simulcasts, that will leave 8 with English language music formats.
Problem is that 94.7 wasn't set up to serve the NJ/LI country fans, it failed because the strategy was to target businesses within the city like all of the other stations that serve NYC. NJ/LI is not as attractive for ad buys. The station ended up not being profitable, and here we are.
With that said, you can't say they didn't try. The fact that Audacy didn't immediately give up the format when they got the station should tell you that they wanted it to succeed.
I don't know what this comment is supposed to be suggesting. Hip-hop has performers of all different ethnic backgrounds, both men and women, etc., just like country music does.
David is referring Kings County, which Brooklyn is inside of.
Kings County and Brooklyn are one and the same, just different names. Kings is the name of the County, Brooklyn is the name of the borough of the City of New York. Geographically they are exact.
Thanks for the tidbit about Kings County being Brooklyn, everyone. I didn't realize there was a King for the Queens! (Well except Doug Heffernan 
)
)
And compare that with what I had in Cleveland, Ohio, in the later 50's when that was a Top 10 radio market: 8 usable stations, including one AM daytimer. 3 were Top 40, 3 were MOR and two were R&B.
While each of the Top 40's and each of the MOR's was slightly different, the differences were subtle and were mostly based on the DJs or announcers, when in the hour news was run and things like that.
And the followers of the genre are just as broad, being African American, Hispanic, Non-Hispanic white, etc.
Thank you all! I hope I didn't miss anyone.
The King of Queens house is in New Jersey, just for the record
To me the fact that Cumulus was able to bill three times as much with the same signal tells me they weren't trying very hard.
Kings is Brooklyn. Staten Island is also called Richmond County.
So you're saying WNSH made enough money under Cumulus to validate it's existence?
They made about $7 million in 2014-15. That's still pretty small for NYC. WLTW bills around $40 million.
