The Bull will be below a 2 share, 'ROV will stay pretty low, Star country will stay #1, I think 'JJS will stay well above K-92...

pretty boring book, I think.

>What about WYYD? I've been listening and they sound pretty good. Plus, it sounds like they are everywhere! All the time there at Cattle Annie's, Roanoke Civic Center, etc. I say give them 2 more books and they will have Star beat. I mean, they're almost there!

Thoughts?

C ya!

No, I tend to think that 'YYD will not be #1 in country. With the Bull draging a few listeners from Star in ROA (and the few from 'YYD), Star will probably make #2 overall, and 'YYD will stay stagnant. I think, however, 'YYD has a few things going for them:

1) They are the dominant station in Lynchburg/Campbell/Amherst/Appomattox Co.
2) They are the 'heritage' station...hell, there are people in Prince Edward and Amelia Co., who still listen to 'YYD because they have been country since the late 70's when there was nothing else around!
3) They are having to fight for ratings. Before Star, they suffered from the "#1 Syndrome" (If you want an example of #1 syndrome, check WIVK in Knoxville). 'YYD was a pretty lousy station. Now that Star is #1, 'YYD needs to be good to survive.

If anything, Star will be #1 because they will have Roanoke (a larger city) hands down. 'YYD always has been more Lynchburg oriented, and I tend to think CC should focus 'YYD as a Lynchburg area station.

> Now, I hate to start rumors, BUT, I've heard that when the Bull dies, CC is trying to put Sports/Talk on the 104.9 stick. Also, maybe, possibly, taking Sunny off 102.7 in Lynchburg and putting a simulcast of the Sports/Talk 104.9 stick on there. From what I've heard, Sunny isn't very "sunny" in Lynchburg.

It will be interesting to see how that plays out!

I was thoroughly surprised at how well Sunny did in the ratings this trip around. They aren't Q99 by any means, but they did make a significant gain.
