May ratings are here

[+713]

You can't see the breakdown by age groups in the public info. The owner is very happy with the gains.

I shared your comments with him. His reply:... "🤣🤣🤣🤣"

Old Roy doesn't have a pot to piss on.

So who’s running this station? The same guys who are running the Online RUMBA station or the same guys running LA CALLE?

IIRC, it was being leased out.

I think the numbers we are seeing on 105.3 are for K287BQ. KTWL is wiped out over the vast majority of the Houston market, only being clearly heard in the far northwestern exurbs. Much, much greater chance of K287BQ registering on PPMs.

I suspect plenty of shenanigans going on with encoding and registration with Nielsen.

Maybe it's the translator's ratings. KTWL apparently doesn't run anymore power than an LPFM, or did a couple weeks ago according to another user on this board.

The translator operates for a center-city FM, not for the suburban facility. Its listing, if any, would be under the HD channel of that FM as the deal for the KTWL facility is apparantly on hold or incomplete.

Translators carry the encoding of the facility they operate under. Other than that, ever single facility has its own encoding identity.

That's not the way Nielsen operates. At this time, encoders are hardware devices and can't have their code changed. Nielsen deactivates encoders that are no longer in use.

In this case, the encoder for the translator will carry the HD channel of the central HOU station it translates, not the station it supposedly duplicates. In fact, the encoder is installed and maintained by the licensee of the HD channel that is leased, not the group that leases it.

The station only gets a 0.0 rating and 0.1 share. It only takes one or two panelists for that to happen.

K287BQ spent a long time with original programming. What would happen if K287BQ wanted to subscribe and had no parent station?

A commercial translator can not originate programming; they are not LPFMs.

A commercial translator can not subscribe to Nielsen. Only the orginating FM with an HD channel or an AM that has the translator can subscribe.

Except in Houston. We are so lucky to have so many miscreant translators.

The actual paid subscribers would point this out instantly to Nielsen.
