Power 105.1 beats HOT 97 in Summer Arbitron

[Jeffrey]

New York's urban radio wars heat up as HOT becomes NY's number 2 hip,hop station! Although the stations are neck in neck Power won.
WBLS seemed to tumble slightly with their Urban AC mix.

A nice final book for Power's PD Michael Saunders who was fired for payola related reasons.

Doesn't mean Hot isn't still the Offical #1 Hip Hop station. As Hot was still #1 in more books then Power.

A lot more books! Still this is the most current one and Power should be proud. These stations are so close that you could call it a statistical tie.

Considering POWER came out of no where a few years ago they certainly have made their market in the New York market.
That being said HOT 97 will always be a better hip, hop station.
They do a fantastic job of programming and are one of the most sought after hip, hop stations in the country.
