OCTOBER PPM RATINGS

[wjf82]

Obviously WLW was #1 with a 13.1 share. No other significant changes from the list of stations whose ratings are still visible. What's noteworthy about this month's PPM is the absence of the five Cumulus stations (Warm98, WGRR, 96ROCK, 92.5 The Fox, and Great Country 94.1). Is Cumulus not subscribing in this market anymore?

Other note-worthy absent stations, the usual non-subscribers WAKW (93.3) WQRT (Real Talk 1160), WNLT 104.3 among others.

That is odd about the Cumulus stations not showing up at all especially with the change in Mornings at Warm 98.

I doubt the new morning show would've had much impact on October's ratings. The show started October 1st, and October's ratings only go through October 10th. The November PPM period is October 11th through November 7th.

Must be some weird market by market deal for Cumulus. The stations show in Indy, Nashville and Detroit, but not Cincinnati. Did they not pay the bill? Like they forgot to pay the property taxes in Indy?

Integrating two or possibly 3 (ABC Radio's if they had one) Citadel and Cumulus accounts payable can be "fixed" accountant wise easily, but trying to put potentially different data systems together can lead to glitches that will show up after you think you have everything running smoothly.

That is a fact. Merging different systems can be a nightmare.
