Cox Atlanta cluster ranked 8th in nation

R

rho01

BIA Financial released the top 10 billing radio stations in the country (all in NY, LA or Chicago) and the top 10 local market clusters.

Here's the link:

Cox Atlanta was No. 8 nationwide among clusters with $110.7 million in revenue in 2005, up from no. 10 in 2004. J.T. Anderton used to provide estimates of most major radio stations' revenues until 2000 or so. I recall WSB-AM grossing around $40 million then. I would guess, even with the Braves gone, they are grossing at least $45 million now. Next up would be either Kiss or B98.5, both I'm guessing to be in the mid $25-million range. The Beat, I fathom, should pull in at least $13 million, leaving maybe $2 million for Jamz as leftover additional revenue attached to Kiss. Anybody out there seen the BIA Financial estimates for individual stations in Atlanta? I've never had access to them.

I understand WSB AM is sold out for months...at least some dayparts! I think they get top cost per point in the market also.
Hats off to the excellent staff at White Collumns.....you are much men!(And women!!)
 
Cox...talking about one company controlling the flow of info in a town.

Only newspaper. #1 TV, #1 radio.

Not that its their fault. Circumstance and higher kwality product.
