Latest PPM's

There’s really nothing unusual to report this month. The only figures I’d note are KLIF and WRR at 0.9. That’s mostly because I’m a KXT fanboy and enjoy KXT beating or tying anybody. I think you’ve noted that the market is remarkably stable here in DFW mostly because there’s a decent amount of cume for most stations. Heck, in the middle of that Alt 103.7 debacle last year they still had a cume of 350,000 listeners.
 
What I notice is Jack seems to be doing better than usual while KISS seems to be falling gradually. KLTY seems to be falling rather rapidly. KLUV has looked better in the past. KPLX not showing much of a change so we can watch for the next few months to see if the new direction was a good move. Granted these are the meaningless 6+ rankings. As other posters have said, things are fairly stable.
 
On the Urban front, I notice that locally-owned Service Broadcasting has a commanding lead over the Urban One outlets -- KKDA has almost double the audience share of KBFB (4.1 versus 2.1), and on the Urban AC front their lead is even more commanding (4.3 for KRNB versus 1.3 for KZMJ).

How can Urban One have so many underperforming outlets?

Not only Dallas, but also Philadelphia, where full-powered WRNB has a 1.0 share. Urban One left Detroit and St Louis not too long ago.

And many of their stations can do better. WMMJ used to be in parity with WHUR, though not lately. KMJQ used to be a guaranteed Top 5 6+ (if not Top 3), but they have been outside the Top 5 for a while despite having no direct competition.

At least WZAK is an undeniable powerhouse.

WHUR and WDAS are way ahead of the Urban One competition in recently

I just wonder how KZMJ would do if they were on a stronger signal?

I doubt that they would do all that much better -- after all, it's not like Urban AC competitor KRNB is on a good signal, either. Both KZMJ and KRNB are rimshots, with the difference being that KRNB's tower is way further west, and KZMJ is almost straight north of Dallas. So I would expect KRNB to come in better around Fort Worth, and KZMJ to do better in Dallas and Dallas' north suburbs.

You'd think so, but in general KRNB seems to do better in the southern half of Dallas County.

I pick up KZMJ pretty well here in Ft. Worth.

Would the have more listeners, yes they would, but would they be a better station, I don’t think so. For all of 105.7’s faults they still have local ownership who can adjust quickly to market conditions.

IMO, Majic is the better station. More variety, good programs. KRNB is just boring to me. Quietstorm 7 days a week, and the playlist is not as wide as Majic's.

The only time i really listen to music radio is Sunday Mornings. I like the local gospel show on 105.7. I prefer it over Gospel Traxx on 94.5.
