September PPMs

Yes. Filling out diaries was like voting as far as people were concerned. They tried to make sure their favorite station won.

I've interviewed many, many former diarykeepers as well as persons who fit the profile to be a diarykeeper, and "voting" for a station is really never mentioned.

Maybe "voting" isn't the best choice of words, but my point is that diary keepers tended to inflate TSL for stations they felt strongly about.

get ready for the all new AMP radio 101.9 orlandos hits and hip-hop

just saying it could happen 102 jamz is in 15th place

I'm not surprised 102 Jamz is being kicked to the curb by Power 95.3 (and even by CBS Tampa's Wild 94.1).
102 Jamz is deemed unlistenable to me due to a number of things.
The main reason is the excessive use of airhorns during mixshows.
Not sure if they fixed that in the past few months, because I totally stopped listening due to the fact.
And I even like DJ Caesar & Chino.

These ratings are really weird. Was the old diary method of collecting the ratings entirely off? WMGF used to be a solid #1 station, vying with WCFB. In many markets the Soft AC has been strengthened by People Meters, since those stations are likely are what's playing in offices and stores in which a meter wearer walks in. Now WMGF barely makes the top 10. Hot ACs are usually helped too but WOMX is tied with WMGF.

Usually Latino and Urban stations get hurt by People Meters but here we see WCFB #1 and WRUM #3. How many other markets in the U.S. have an Urban AC at #1? Is there any market in the U.S., other than Puerto Rico, where a Tropical station makes the top 3? Not even in Miami or New York is a Tropical station in the top 3.

Most UACs or adult-oriented Urban Contemporaries (like V-103 in Atlanta) do dominate in their markets. Adults whom listen to urbans tend have more loyalty.

How did WPYO, a Hip Hop station owned by Cox, open such a big lead over WJHM, a hip hop station owned by CBS?

WJHM is a more adult-leaning urban contemporary/rhythmic CHR hybrid. However, stations like that usually prosper in markets with larger black populations (20%+ of market audience). Orlando isn't one those markets since it's Hispanic audience is larger than the black. It might want to take some cues from its sister stations like WMBX or WZMX because Steve Harvey in the morning isn't working.
