With the May 2011 ratings now posted here on Radio-Info.com, a few observations on these 6+ numbers:
KJR FM continues its ratings decline. They have dropped from number one in the rankings in March to a tie for fifth in the new May ratings report. They are also off over 100,000 cume listeners in that short period of time. KISW seems to have picked up a lot of their listeners. KISW ranked second in the new survey, just a sliver behind number one ranked KRWM. Though KISW's overall cume didn't move much, the quarter hour ranking is a 1.1 share ahead of KJR.
KPLZ had a nice book. They climbed several spots to tie for number five in AQH. Newstalk continues to show its popularity with KOMO and KIRO both in the top four. Cumewise, more than one million listeners combined listen to both stations for at least 15 minutes weekly.
KMCQ is not a one time wonder. They actually increased their quarter hour rating .8 of a share, and have a cume audience exceeding 400,000 on a weekly basis.
Conservative talk is taking a beating as KTTH continues its steady decline, dropping another .4 of a share to a new low.
Overall cume is also off from the past two months.
