Louisville Spring 2018 Nielsen Ratings

Interesting to see WQMF HD-2 (The Fox) showing up with a 0.2 rating. Meanwhile 93.1 and 105.1 are both 1.7.And 100.5 went up to 2.3. I still think that these three stations need a change.
 
Speaking of 93.1.... Has anyone listened to 93.1 HD2??? They play iHeart's 70's station. I bought a SPARC HD radio and a good antenna and it comes in great! 93.1 is only 4kw, so the HD2 channel will be less, but I love it!
Wish I had a HD radio in the car... oh well!
 
More like only 410 watts for HD signals. Only 1% of the actual FM wattage. Yeah I wish I had one in the car too. I have one at work.

I like the HD2 formats. Really wish 94.5 HD2 would change their format from new country to something else.
 
Why doesn't QMF just go ahead and flip to new rock. A good mix of active and Alt. Call it ALT 95.7 And looks like 102.3 is doing well with the jack fm format. Thats the highest numbers i have seen on that frequency in years.
DJX is doin well against radio now. Of course who wants to hear a piped in morning show. Not I

You mean 41 watts. That's what it would be at 1%, but now we're allowed 6 dB more than we used to be, so they might be up to 164 watts on the HD.
 
Yep! You are correct.

Oh? I remember years ago HD radio was going to be 10% of the FM wattage. That would help.

In 2010 I could pull in WBUL HD off Shelbyville Road in Louisville in my car stereo. I thought that was prettt good.
 
HD debuted at 1% of analog power. (-20 dBc) There was a proposal to make it 10% (-10 dBc) but there was a lot of opposition to that for interference reasons and transmitter practicality issues. The compromise was -14 dBc, which is 4% of analog power. So WVEZ runs 24,000 watts analog and 960 watts digital.
