Greenville Spartanburg ratings

https://ratings.****************/cgi-bin/rol.exe/arb191

A few shockers. First, what happened to WROQ? From solid 5's in the last 3 books down to a 2.8? Wow.

"The Block," considering they are on two little translators, pulled a 2.2. That's incredible. And it doesn't seem to be affecting Jamz or Hot's numbers at all (at least 12+). Anyone speculating that The Block will end up on 93.3 is crazy. Planet seems to be doing very nicely, too, although I'm sure Clemson games helped.

Magic 98.9 likely got a nice boost from going all Christmas, and pretty early at that.

If you combine iHeart's 2 country stations, they're getting over a 12 share! I hope they sell in combo. :)
 
The two CHR’s are very close. WHZT’s shift to mainstream CHR seems to be working, and has B just two tenths of a point ahead now. Hot is aggressively after B it seems. I guess The Block’s success with urban made Summit realize Hot was no longer really a flanker for Jamz and WFBC’s strong ratings lately showed a better opportunity for them to go after. Hot has really stabilized since ditching so many of those hip hop tracks that made it difficult to listen to.

I suspect Mediabase is going to move WHZT from rhythmic to CHR soon. Imagine Dragons, Ed Sheeran, Charlie Puth, Halsey, Portugal The Man, etc in the same hour are enough to trigger a change. Most stations with a playlist like WHZT are normally moved eventually. They may still rotate some urban tracks more heavily than a traditional rhythmic, but it is definitely no longer a Rhythmic CHR. Stations with similar playlists have almost always been moved eventually. Bring it on, the market needs this CHR war.

WROQ has to be a fluke. Planet was down half a point, not really doing well. Real Rock 104.9 was stagnant as well. Bad book for rock. WMYI is so stagnant.

Magic hasn’t done that well with Christmas in years.
 
Anyone know why WEPR doesn't show up in the Greenville-Spartanburg ratings? I know Nielsen is putting non-commercial/public stations in all the PPM market ratings, but are they not doing it for diary measured markets like this one? Or do they really get NO ratings?
 
In most SC markets, SCETV has 2 radio stations. One is the classical feed, the other is the "news" feed. (Of course, they overlap programming at times.) In Greenville-Spartanburg, there's only one station and they run the classical feed. I wish they'd switch. I'd much rather tune into the news-talk.
