Nashville raitings

W

Wind

At one time we would get info on the raitings in Nashville but no more.It has been said that lower raitings is behind the changes at WSIX and WGFX. Is this true? Has WSIX and WGFX dipped this low in the money demos?
 
Yeah, if you looked at the numbers posted here for Nashville, I guess aka "raitings", you'd look probably end up
trashing all the wrong stations based on those figures. Top three on the real points scale shows a pretty different set
of values--- 921/929/963...

Then, you kinda gotta a lot of horses in the middle of the pack...

And then, of course, bringing up the usual bottom of stations with a signal strong enough to be a contender...we all know who...
 
I'm actually little surprised to see Jack doing so well.. In many areas the Jack-FM format is either dying, or already dead. Here..it seems to be holding its own. I just moved to Nashville, so I'm still pretty new to the area and just beginning to get the feel for whats on the radio dial, but it seems to me that Jack is a little stale.. For a variety station, they seem to have a very limited play list.

I moved here from Milwaukee, where we have a "Jack" type station, called Lake FM (WLWK 94.5fm), they play everything from the 60's - now. You could litterally here The Beatles "Hey Jude", followed by a ABBA song, and then a current track. I'd love to see Jack add more on both ends, dip more into the 60's and 70's tracks and add maybe some more currents.

Also...a Mix station at number 1?? I would of just assumed a country station would take the top spot!
 
I've been in Nashville a few years now techguy 1975 and like you wonder why mix is at the top. My wife and I were once in radio and find it (mix) along with jack very stale. Nashvill has 4 country stations and only one AC. No one seems to want to try and knock mix off.

Like Wind says, Mix wouldn't be #1 if someone (are you listening, Cumulus?) would give it some competition. If Nashville only had one country station, then that station would undoubtedly be #1, but since listenership is split between The Wolf, WSIX, 103.3 WKDF, 650 WSM, not to mention 98.9 WANT, 95.1 WGGC, and 94.7 JGSQ which all throw a weak signal into parts of the market, there's a lot of competition out there in a single format.
 
Cumulus did try their hand at A/C with Star 97...but Cumulus being Cumulus, it was a mess
