Hartford October 2011 PPM's

[DToTheJ]

The top four stations remain the same, but Big D... welcome to the Top 5.

Also, WNPR makes the Top 10. Weird seeing a station that had just an 0.3 rating two months ago finish this high in the ratings, but that's public radio for you.

And just how bad is WPLR? The classic rock station in Springfield ranks higher than them.

Country 92.5 WWYZ dropped 2.4 shares in one book... ratings can be a fickle mistress.

WTIC-AM dropped a full share off their September number (mostly Irene listening.) That number will probably yo-yo back up in the next book for the winter storm listening.

WTIC-FM had a nice bump similar to DRC-FM this book, almost a full share.

Also, WNPR makes the Top 10. Weird seeing a station that had just an 0.3 rating two months ago finish this high in the ratings, but that's public radio for you.

That change was actually not that steep... it was the callsign change. WNPR was still the Norwich station in August, and had a 0.3. If you scroll down and look, you'll see WPKT had a 3.8 in August then disappeared. the calls swapped in September, that's why there's a jump in the number, but it's deceiving.

Interesting station missing this month... WMRQ HD2 (which feeds translator W246CC Bolton on 97.1) went 1.5-1.2-0.0. Totally off the charts. PPM encoding problems?

Rock102, WAQY, has always been a solid performer in the Hartford market, due to the signal penetration in the market, as well as
the listenership of people in northern Hartford County who work in Springfield, etc.

WAQY has arguably the best FM signal in the Springfield market, seconded by WHYN-FM. (However, in the hollows of Downtown Springfield, WMAS-FM's full 50 gallon blow-torch signal just blows everyone else away). OK I am done derailing this thread...

KISS goes from a 6.2 in Aug. 7.1 in Sept. and now a 7.2 in Aug. And Hot is flat 6.2 , 6.1 , 6.1 .

Usually its Hot over KISS

No Red Sox in post season.

Noncommercial WFCR does a nice job south of Hartford, too. In Meriden, it's stronger thatn WHYN-FM.
