Wow, I can't believe a station from 200 miles away made the ratings (WLZL is from Annapolis, MD). There are 3 local Spanish stations.
This is Pulse 87's first appearance in this market, so that means people are really listening to 87.7 through the static (or are the online listeners counted too because the stream is a 100% simulcast, including commercials).
And WVPH (90.3 The Core) makes the ratings again (for a 100 watt college station with a freeform format, just showing up is quite an accomplishment)!

You think that pirate on 92.9 that was simulcasting Pulse also helped Their cume also got up on the Nassau-Suffolk book. This is amazing as Pulse made it's debut in this book, and I'm sure one day it should make the Monmouth-Ocean book.

RFF is gaining in the area, due probably to the demise of G-rock.....which proves an Alternative format done right would soar in this market....

It's more likely that people living in M-S-U are driving to an area where Pulse's signal is listenable, not listening through a bunch of static. For example, WFPG/Atlantic City has 11,000 cume in M-S-U. No one there is actually listening to WFPG in their kitchen (I'm talking about average people, not radio geeks scanning the dial during a band opening) -- a small handful of people from M-S-U drove to Atlantic City with a PPM. Shore stations show up all over the place during the summer and significantly less in the winter.
