other than KNBR's big dip (from 4.3 to 3.6) not much significany movement anywhere.

Is Steve Harvey the reason for KBLX holding their ratings?

I would say there's quite a bit of significant movement in 6+.
KCBS, KMEL and KYLD saw relatively big gains.
KOSF is almost tied with sister station KIOI.
Both KNBR and KGMZ dropped to pre-super bowl levels.
KFOG and KSAN still just treading water. Which one goes country? Nash had a good first month in New York.
In San Jose, KRTY is #1 for the first time in the PPM era.

Yeah, them 6 year-olds want to listen to news but not sports.

It's the fact that KBLX plays contemporary R&B and neo-soul whereas KMEL only spins the vast majority of these songs after 10PM on Sundays through Thursday nights.

KBLX bascially updated their sound under Entercom's direction. It picked up a lot of 90s and new jack R&B titles that KMEL no longer touches outside their nighttime and old school mix programs. And I'm sure the higher income demos in the Black community is one of the contributing factors to KBLX still being on the air due to radio being a business. Just a thought.

On the music choices: that's what is so funny that KMEL refuses to touches those songs anymore considering it could easily sneak those types into the rotation during choice times during the daytime hours on weekdays and weekends. KMEL made the New Jack Swing on the West Coast popular, so why not pay homage to the genre more often?
