New York City June 2011 PPM's

[DToTheJ]

My, how convenient with WRXP just about to flip to a news (or news/talk) format, that both all-news stations experience dips over the last three months, including WCBS-AM's 4.8-4.1-3.8 - and that's with the Yankees!

The other surprise story of the book is WFME, which actually maintained its 1.1 rating from the "rapture"-fueled May PPM period.

Also, both urban CHR's Hot 97 and Power 105 rise. Yep, Mike, keep your eye on Power, indeed...

And the aforementioned WRXP rebounds to a 2.6 rating with 2,300,000+ cume for its final full book.

I find it ironic (which I've made known on the NYRMB) that WRXP will be going through a format change by weeks end the earliest. And WRXP had a 2.6 share, but this only refers to the 6+ numbers,

This new station @ 101.9 will have to do better than a mid 2 share.






Thanks,

If an upstart news/talk or sports station manages to knock out a heritage station, then that'd be something... in Pittsburgh, upstart sports station KDKA 93.7 wiped out WEAE 1250 (which didn't even survive past 2010 and flipped to Disney)

Although I doubt News/Talk 101.9 will wipe out any of the AM news/talkers I still expect it to do well...

Considering that WFAN wanders between a 2.4 and a 3 share over the last 8 or 9 books, and is 5th in billing in New York, it is important what kind of a "mid two's" the station gets.

Given the reality that news, news talk and sports stations can run a significantly higher number of commercial minutes per hour than a music station, it's safe to assume that the rumored new format has a much higher revenue potential.

WPAT FM fell to 1.8. That is by far the lowest of the full power commercial NYC FM stations. No wonder they recently tweaked their programming towards more youthful and rhythmic sounding music.

The .4 rating for the still new country station WJVC is pretty decent, considering that this distant Suffolk County broadcast can probably only be heard in small pockets of Queens, and possibly Brooklyn.

Should they go all-news, I would not be surprised if 101.9 ends up in the upper echelon of BIA's top-billing stations in a couple of years.

What I find interesting is that WRXP is tied with WRKS. Why is Kiss so low, they used to be in the 5 share area? Here's a longshot. Move RXP to 98.7. I know it won't happen because there would be huge protests from Sharpton etc. I'm kind of impressed with Fresh's numbers, and KTU is doing great also. WABC seems to be fading.

One PPM book is not proof of a general trend. RXP is dead, Smolarek. Deal with it.

And as for your statement about Kiss, there's already Hot, Power and WBLS in the market on FM--and besides, Al Sharpton would be more concerned if African-American-owned BLS was being sold to a white owner.

Whats with KTU rated higher then Z? Looking at the playlists them both seem like CHR's with Z 100's list having the newer hits. This isn't good for 92.3 Now FM.

WJVC does NOT reach any part of NYC. They don't even reach Nassau county for that matter.

Sorry for another 'ignorant Brit' moment. What do P and W stand for in those figures?

And what do the shift ratings mean?

Suffolk County is "in" the New York City radio market. As such, it quite obviously reaches part of NYC as that is the name of the survey area.

 

[DToTheJ]

@BMR: P = "persons"; W = "women".

And for the record: I can barely receive 102.3 WBAB in Babylon in New York City proper, regardless of whether or not Suffolk County is part of the NYC DMA or not...

I would enjoy seeing you get 105.5 WJVC on any radio in NYC thats in front of the empire state building or in front of a turnpike sign in NJ.Please post!

And the shifts are, in order of appearance, morning drive ("breakfast"), midday, afternoon drive and evening.

That does not matter. The station is "home" to the New York City Arbitron MSA, so it is, as far as the radio industry is concerned, "in" the NYC radio market. It is, like hundreds of other stations in large markets, one of those that does not cover 100% of the geography or population of that market.

Similarly, I'd enjoy seeing you take a portable radio or radio enabled device to "downtown" Egg Harbor and tune in any ESB FM. You see, Egg Harbor is just as much a part of the NYC metro survey area as Manhattan is... And in my great great grandfather's birthplace, those ESB stations don't come in any better than WJVC does in Queens or Garden City.

Yeah, I realise that. I just don't understand the +25% and so on.... ???

The "+" numbers for the Z dayparts is showing the percent increase month to month. And the "-" numbers on the 92.3 end show the decrease.
