MIA-FTL-HLYWD Arbitron Radio Ratings: Holiday 2011

Three questions: What does Holiday 2011 mean, how does the Moody Bible station beat so many Miami stations, and how come when I click apon a particular criteria, it keeps sticking Power, Y-100, and Lite way out of order below the other stations?
 
Since Arbitron breaks up the 52 week year into 13 4-week segments, they needed to add a title to the 13th report after the first 12 months, thus the term "Holiday" was born.

One of these years an extra week will have to be added to one of the 13 reports being as there is one day more than 52 weeks per year - and in leap years such as 2012, there are 2 days more than 52 weeks. This will keep the reports from straying too far out of their descriptions - such as the recent December 2011 report which comprised the dates of November 10 to December 7 - which is barely December.

As far as the column sorting goes, I'm assuming there's a radio-info.com programming error where the sorting device in place doesn't recognize the "1,000,000" figures as 1 million but instead drops the last 2 zeroes of the figures and recognizes them as "10,000" instead, thus placing those stations at the bottom of the cume column. I've noticed this when viewing other market's ratings pages.
 
Note for W. Palm Beach-Boca Raton Chart:

WHFS-FM (the former WNEW-FM which was also formerly WJBW-FM + WADY) had a 4.6 share and 123,300 cume in December 2011.
