June Arbitron Ratings

The Fan may not need ratings to survive but, they need advertisers that they don't have.

It's sad, that in Kansas City, similar in market size to Cincinnati, their CBS Radio affiliate is on FM translator 102.5 (it's KCMO-HD2), just runs the entire syndicated CBS lineup, and it still gets a higher rating (0.4) than The Fan.

I'm sure KCMO has a GM. And WCFN doesn't. That makes a big diffrence. You need a leader.

The Project continues to impede 96Rock. Mission accomplished. 96Rock was backed into a corner, decided to ease up on the alt rock (they still play some), and now get to battle WEBN head-on.

Very few markets are capable of supporting two Active Rock stations long term. WEBN will win that battle convincingly. Wouldn't surprise me to see 96Rock drop out of the format within the next year. I hope I'm wrong, because I like 96Rock the way it is. Anyone know how they fare from a billing perspective?

Q does indeed sound outstanding. They are arguably the best programmed Adult CHR in the country. They remind me of Toronto's 104.5 CHUM-FM in numerous ways.

It's more like WEBN battling 96ROCK head on. A lot of the current music you hear on WEBN, only got added to the playlist because they fell behind in the ratings behind 96ROCK last year. This includes the alternative artists 'EBN used to not play (Weezer, Beck, Radiohead, and lately, Imagine Dragons). And for the record 96ROCK is playing the same amount of alternative as they have the last several years.
