I don't know if I'm reading the previous link correctly but if so, I find it very interesting that the top five most popular radio stations in the Phoenix market would not have demo's of younger listeners.
In 18-49, KESZ is #2, KMLE is in the top 10, and KSLX is #5.
So, we see that KOOL and KFYI are in the top 5 12+, but in 18-49 they are 11th and 14th.
KZON, KMXP, KNIX, KUPD and KHOT do very well in 18-49, and are a bit lower in rank in 12+, but still top 10 overall.
The reason KOOL and KFYI do so well in 12+ is that they are among the very few stations that get a lot of 55+ listening... most stations intentionally stay away from that demo, so with less competition, those stations get lots of unsalable demo listening.
Since there is more competition for 18-34, 18-49 and 35-54, the individual stations get lower overall shares in 12+ or 6+... but they get pure sales demos.
