Monmouth-Ocean Ratings

Can you blame GM for not subscribing?
Look at the stations they own:
100.1 WJRZ will never get big ratings with WHTZ's IBOC signal making them un-listenable in most of Monmouth County.
95.9 WRAT will never get big ratings with WBEN's IBOC signal killing them west of the Parkway and WTTH transmitting 3,300 watts from just 15 miles south of the Ocean County border.
Hm. Thunder slides further, but only to the level at which the Alternative format on 106.3 was roughly at its highest, so I still wouldn't expect any changes there. Still not sure how they'll fare against Nash - will listeners choose live and local, and will Press continue to give it to them?

I doubt Thunder 106 cares at all about NASH. NASH is in the New York City, NY market while Thunder is in Monmouth/Ocean.
While NASH's signal does leak into Monmouth/Ocean, NASH's antenna is 56 miles from Toms River / 52 miles from Brick / 50 miles from Pt. Pleasant / 48 miles from Manasquan - that certainly is not a "local" signal.

I don't expect any changes, either. But of course, Thunder is heavily promoted (tons of local events, advertising everywhere, etc.), while G Rock was not promoted at all ... maybe the occasional summer concert, but that was it. When they pulled that frequency switch, there were a lot of people I knew that had no idea that the simulcast of the station moved to 106.5.

Monmouth gets Nash just fine. Ocean doesn't, so Press doesn't have to worry there. But I think the money's really in Monmouth - anyone agree?

NASH will never really hurt Thunder. Yes, Thunder's ratings might slip a bit -- and they might share listeners with NASH. But, remember something; The advertisers that are currently on 106.3 cannot afford to be on a NY signal. So as far as financially, I don't think NASH will affect Thunder.

Well put; I have to agree.
That said, is there a point at which advertisers say to themselves "eh, never mind radio"? I don't think Thunder's there yet, but they're not heading in a good direction.
