Latest Ratings

No chatter here about the ratings?

What's up with WIBT? What happened?

How about the A/C battle K and Lite seem to be running about even. I don't listen anymore, have there been any big changes? I got tired of liner card radio and narrow playlists.

Were there any surprises in this book?
 
Glad to see mix 106 getting better ratings. They really sounding good lately. Can't believe stations like 98.7 simon and majic 94.1 have such high ratings in this area now. This proves charlotte is in desparate need for better stations.
 
Majic 94 is pulling about the same numbers Hitz 94 did, no surprise there. Mix is up bcause the music's been updated, more toward the baby boomers. The Sinatra\Bennett\Streisand audience they used to cater to has mostly abandoned radio for TV.
 
Three words describe why stations such as 94.1, 98.7, and other Triad stations get ratings in the Charlotte market---Salisbury/Rowan County. Anyone who spends any time in Rowan knows most Triad FMs come in very well there, most as well as the Charlotte FMs. Actually, the area is a feast of radio signals, with as many as 40 FMs stopping most car radio scans. Thats why stations such as WTQR, WJMH, WMKS, and others often make the Charlotte books (Rowan is in the Charlotte market). There are a few exceptions: WQMG and WMAG have problems in Rowan, due to WRFX and WKKT in Charlotte. WBAV has problems in Rowan due to WJMH (but all three are recievable, but usually don't stop a scan).
 
FortMill- add Iredell and Catawba to your list. You're right on the money regarding the Triad signals.
 
Haven't seen the numbers, but....what happened? The Beat tanked?

Gee, that's a shame.

No wonder they tanked with the insipid music they play and jocks like that idiot CJ the DJ.

I am so glad they got him (mostly) off of Football Friday Night on WBTV. Partly because of that idiot, I always recorded FFN and fast forwarded through his segments.

He thinks that hs is hot stuff with the fake accents etc, but he is just warmed over cr*p!
 
what surprises me is the parity the latest book shows. One year ago, Power 98 was on top with a 7.6 while this year V101.9 is on top with a 5.7. With lower rated stations pulling 3's or above is pretty impressive too. Who thought The End and Lite would be tied? Just little things like that. I will also be interested to see how WNOW and WGSP grow into the equation, as Spanish stations are rating higher and higher every day.

This is what I've been saying all along.
 
People are getting tired of hip hop and rap. Kiss needs to lessen on the rap and I bet there numbers will soar.....but they won't do that.

I haven't abandoned radio, but I have pretty much abandoned this garbage.

We have a good station in Salisbury when they choose to use their satellite format.
