February 2013 PPMs

Top 4 -- KDKA, 3WS, WDVE and Y108 -- are separated by .3. Each is .1 behind the station in front of it.

The X is up with the Pens.

104.7 is down for the fifth straight report.
 
LTJ continues to widen its lead on Star and is posting its best numbers in a long time... Willing to bet mornings are the main reason.
 
I'd like to congratulate 970 on (probably) tying with Frankie Day again. Can't be certain of that, since
the ratings for 770 aren't listed, but it's highly likely.

Found out today I was completely wrong on that one..... Star is beating LTJ mornings, but 92.9 is doing very well middays, afternoons, and especially nights where they are #2 with women.

This has always been their business model, if they are top 5 in women they make money, nothing else matters.
 
Cingram, I don't want to diminish what you're doing on the local broadcasting scene. In fact, I'd like to find out more about it.

Second, I think guys like Frankie Day are the backbone of the broadcasting industry.

But when all of the stations were included in the book, I can't remember Day getting even an O.4.

More power to him, though. If I'm wrong, please let me know, and obviously wish him well and as many listeners and sponsors as he can get.

KFB always had around half a point after the PPM was introduced. It went a little higher when the 97.5 translator was added.
Whether it was due to Frankie Day or other factors I cannot tell, but I've always given him credit for turning the radio station
toward oldies, instead of becoming a clone of sister station 620 KHB, where it originally was headed.

More than this I do not know, since KFB is a non-subscriber to the ratings and therefore is not listed in the monthly numbers
any more.

Backbone of the radio industry? I really don't want to be critical but when you spend 2 minutes of your show explaining how you have to fill out a BMI music log and your wife is there to help you, I really wonder who is really being entertained. This station sounds great AFTER 5pm when it's a 60s-early 70s oldies station. I guess those pushing 75 may enjoy the Frankie Day Show.
 
All I'm saying is that someone who is a lifer who is broadcasting for the love of it, which pretty much accounts to a veteran broadcaster on a small AM, is what the passion for radio is all about.
