Didn't the book come out last week????

> IS everyone dead?


I was wondering the same thing. I keep looking for the next installment of "WOW - ______ taking a nose dive".

OK- I'll take the bait.

WOW- WPTF taking a nose dive. WZTK not too bad on FM talk in RTP, considering it is more Greensboro oriented station. The DNC/DNZ twins are holding steady(they are my pet peeve stations...). DNZ still wasting its signal.

The River looks more like a small steady stream (perhaps a brook?). The switch seems to be helping WWMY.

Wonder how Triangle sports/talk will look- too early to say right now. WRBZ should not feel a thing- the area can handle two sports/talk stations. Why DNZ/C doesn't try that is beyond me. Signal would be better than what Triangle sports talk is offering. 1490 is C annd 1090 is too far aways for good reception throughout the whole triangle.
 
I'm not so sure about the switch helping WWMY. It looks to me like their 12+ numbers went up but all of their listeners are over the age of 55 now. They lost most of their 25-54 listeners. That's not going to earn them many new advertisers.

Y102.9 lost 25% of our listeners 25-54, from the "Star" days, that's not "most".
Keep watching. The 25-54s grew dramatically in each of the last
two monthlies of the book, after a horrible first phase.

Y102.9's cume was the highest in the history of the signal, a Class A.

With the format change from 80s to Oldies - we basically started at zero,
and debuted in the first full book with a 2.9, that's 1700 Flame Throwin' watts!

We've still got work to do, and there's lots of good competition, so we'll see what happens. Y102.9 is only 5 months old.
