Notorious? N-i-k...Lets face it if Karen Blake went DOWN in the ratings you would say they were HER numbers NOT JJ's. Has JJ EVER been #1 or #2 in any demo at Oldies in afternoon drive since he started there? I think NOT! So now, you're telling people that since he got moved to OVERNIGHTS...and is no where near afternoon drive - his ratings went UP in afternoons.(LOL) Please! Christmas music may have had a little to do with all of the numbers on Oldies...but to move from below 10th place to 1st in afternoons! That has to be people also tuning in to hear Karen. Lose the spin N-I-K. If JJ NEVER got those kind of numbers when he was doing afternoon drive why would he be getting them now? Karen could not have done better! #1 25-54 Women - #2 25-54 adults in Afternoon Drive!
You don't need to give Karen her due...the LISTENERS already have! My only question is which station will give Karen her own morning show.
