If you look at the PPM ratings on this website under the ratings tab you will see KROQ is in 9th place and 98.7 is in 10th place. Is 98.7 really bombing when it's only one place behind KROQ??
I created a demo of 21-44 which would focus on the most salable aspects of these stations.
In that age range, KROQ is #2 whikle KHHT is #15. KYSR is 19th.
The issue here is probably more complicated, and includes current billing as well as cluster strategy; KYSR blocks KROQ from beating KIIS while KHHT is less strategic (particulary now that KXOL has so fragged KPWR that it is down to 6th and no longer challenges the top 5 positions).
Remember, ratings are bought mostly for sales. And sales is as much about keeping money from going to competitors as it is about money coming to your own station.
