I have some questions myself. There are a lot of stations that either have a blank or are not listed at all.
What's surprising (or maybe not) is the absence of Cumulus in the top stations. They ruled for several years with urban. Now none of the urban stations are making a showing. Where di all of those listeners go?
WFLA 100.7 and WHTF 104.9 are both tied for the top. WFLA has dipped a bit, as Louis mentioned in a different thread. I've noticed a lot of unsold slots lately on WFLA, and a lot of PSAs and promos instead. They also have been running basketball on WFLA, pre-empting a lot of regular programming. I wonder why they don't put those on WNLS-1270 instead.
Both country stations, Opus' 103.1 The Wolf and CC's WTNT are tied. WTNT has also dipped, and the Wolf is the same as the previous book.
106.1 is doing great with oldies and their spot load seems decent. That plane's stating to fly.
WNLS is gonna be hurting with the loss of Jeff Cameron. He's a market veteran and is bound to pull some listeners over to WTSM 97.9 with his return in the summer to the Sports Monster.
These stations don't appear at all: WFRF AM/FM, WCVC, WHBT, WTAL, WAKU Wave 94.
Either radio listenership here is tanking or there's a lot of data that doesn't show in the table.
Even so, if the top station(s) are at 5.1, that's a far cry from the urban days of 11 and 12 shares.
As a former manager of an AM in this market, I will tell you, it is TOUGH. The AM programming in Tally seems even worse now than when I stepped down 7 years ago to do Internet radio instead.
