No, that is all it dominantes.

WQHT is below Latino Mix, WSKQ and WPAT-FM in Hispanic cume. In fact, WSKQ has double the Hispanic cume, and Latino Mix over 75% more than WQHT.
WQHT is 4th in Hispanic cume.

WQHT is 7th in non-ethinic share in 18-34. WRKS is tied for 19th in the same demo.

I know what "wall" is. The stations do not complement, they overlap... just like bricks in a wall. Thus the expression.
LA is 42% Hispanic, 12% Asian, 10% Black and there is an additonal 10% to 12% that are Persian, Russian, Arab, etc. first generation immigrants. The metro is 75% to 76% ethnic.

Arbitron, summer 2005 for LA and NY MSA, and US Census. I now ask the same of you, as your data is totally wrong in every case.

Emmis has been pretty much dismissed by Inside Radio, RBR and other sources in the know. The front runner may be a dark horse, followed by the new Dickey group, followed, far back, by Entercom.

There is at least a 50-50 chance of there being no deal. The deal is complicated, requiring a like kind exchange for shareholders.

I think not. Unless you are Rick Cummings or Jimmy Steele in disguise, I really doubt it.
