The next survey period will be for July 2012 covering Thu. 6/21/12 - Wed. 7/18/12 with the report release date being Mon. 8/6/12.

Note: stations that do not subscribe to Arbitron in certain markets will not show in those markets.
 
KROI .8 in the books

I know KROI resembles Cumulus O&O WYAY-FM in Atlanta but if Kroi gets translators and cross Promote the station with KTRK-TV ABC 13 by borrowing reporters from TV then KROI-FM can do better.

Probably not going to happen, KTRK is not owned by Radio One. Second, they probably have some non compete agreement in place. As for translators it all depends on availability and Radio One's financial situation. They could buy KCOH-AM, and simulcast KROI.

Huh?

1. KROI doesn't need translators.
2. There aren't any translators available in town worth having, anyway.
3. The real story here is the performance of KUHF, especially in morning drive.
 
I don't see Top-40 KRBE(104.1 FM) anywhere on the Top 10 Houston Radio stations list. I heard its parent Cumulus Radio is planning an exodus from Houston; Selling out both KFNC & KHJK, And it leaves KRBE out as the only holdover in their Houston radio cluster.

Arbitron doesn't make public non-subscribers. Outside of the former Citadel markets where the Arbitron contract is still in effect, Cumulus doesn't subscribe, therefore no numbers for their stations to the public. The subscribers get to see everything.

Yes, it does.

KROI has about 3.0 million in the 65 dbu contour, while the Senior Road full C's have around 5.8 million... KROI covers only about half the market with a signal that is usable for in-home and at-work listening, while the "other guys" cover essentially the whole market.

Whether it does or doesn't, it isn't going to happen. There aren't any to be had.

And the signal, or lack of it, doesn't excuse its performance. Several of the eastern and northern rimshots, with far fewer people inside their 65 dBu outperform this station.
 
Why doesn't R-1 just swap 92.1 for 102.1? That way they get the news format, now on 92.1, the best possible signal they can have in the Houston market.

Is this station in it's new studios yet? It's been reported here they were building new studios a few months ago.
 
Why would you take the 2nd highest radio station in the market (KMJQ) for a frequency with lesser coverage? Plus their other property (KBXX) 97.9 The Box is rated number one. It would be major mistake to mess with the two highest rated radio stations in the city.
 
Agreed, such a move would be Radio Suicide for Radio one.

I think it would be more realistic as I mentioned in a previous post to acquire KCOH 1430 and simulcast KROI on it. The FM possibilities are scarce, unless they buy 97.5, or 106.9 but I doubt it.
 
106.9 would be a good fit for a simulcast of KROI, if Cox's dual wasted frequency experiment could be stopped.
