Feb Ratings

Tried to post the numbers from Radio-Online but RD is blocking the link…? Haven’t seen that before.

RadioInsight not updated as I type this.
 
La Ley up to a 2.5.

Mega and Que Buena sinking.

MediaCo stations have lost some listeners as well.

Nice jumps for The Buzz and Amor.
 
Let it be noted that I've been saying for months that before the 3rd full book for KROI RB will be at the number 1 spot in Spanish Morning shows in Houston.
Actually, it is another Spanish language station that beats both of them
 
Correct me if I am wrong, aren't 102.9 and 104.9 operating from alternate sites due to the helicopter crash that took their main tower down? That would have a significant impact on available audience and an immediate impact on ratings.

yes, the aux site, half the height, half the power.

KOVE could be the #1 Spanish station, i dont really know i dont share that info or nielsen numbers , all the regional mexicans beating each other up, KOVE step around and pass them by a whole share lol

I'm assuming TU has started to look at alternative solutions? It's been over 5 months since the incident and I didn't see any physical progress the last time I was in the area. I can only imagine going through all the environmental red tape, let alone local opposition.

The tower issue is no longer TU property any longer since SBA purchased that a few months before the accident. Not much we can do or say. I have no idea or any info what SBA is planning to do at that site. TU has plans for KLTN and KAMA, thats all i will say.
 
How did KHCB lose ~60% of their listeners since October? Pretty sure they didn’t jump to La Ley.
If you look at the last several years, KHCB is back to "normal" now. Last June through December was an anomaly, and as most people can tell you, if you see a station that hasn't changed anything suddenly spike up (or down), you probably have a change in the sample that affected it (loss or gain of a meter household.) KHCB's cume has been consistent for the past year, so they had a few listeners who were listening for longer periods of time, when that longer listening subsided, the shares went back down.

Well, if you ain't got the stick, you ain't got the stroke. The End.
Now, AM1230 has no stick at all. I don't see that frequency coming back. It hasn't been relative since the 1980s. Even then, it was a very small audience.

All Pueblo de Galilea has is a license and the transmitter itself that was putting out perhaps 150 watts prior to the tower collapse. No programming, no studio, nothing else, likely including any money to build a new site. No attempt at a temporary facility AFAICT.

PdG will need to file an extension of the Silent STA around May 1. License cancellation would be on October 21 if no further action is taken.

Example of FCC form letters run amok:

“In the event of license cancellation, it is imperative to the safety of air navigation that any prescribed painting and illumination of the station's tower shall be maintained until removed.”

🤣🤣🤣

I'm going to ask what the metered dwelling unit change was from October to February. As we know, the HOU ratings are not certified by the MRC and we may be witnessing the effects of Nielsen trying to "shore up" the sample, both in size and proportionality.

What we do know is that there was a shortage of 18-34 Spanish dominants, causing the subset to be looked at from an 18-49 base. That means that older leaning stations could do better.
