May saw a significant drop for Cumulus' WABC, which only a few years ago was in the top 10 in New York. This time it's tied for #22 with Clear Channel competitor WOR. Among American Talk stations, only WOR had a cume over one million, thanks no doubt to sports fans tuning in for Mets broadcasts, even if it didn't mean much in WOR's overall ratings. KFI fell out of the Los Angeles top 10, with a cume down to around 700 thousand. In the plus column, WSB again finished on top of the Atlanta ratings. And in Market #11, Cumulus' WJR Detroit was at #6.
