After the holiday book, The Joy FM knocks The Dove back out of the top spot. Mix retains their third place finish despite the Christmas season being over. Q, 98 Rock and The Eagle are tied for fifth place. WDAE is up almost a full ratings point as it prepared to move to 95.7, while 95.7 dropped a point in its final book as Rumba. And the lowest rated English speaking FM station (NOT in Sarasota, RMarino) is Wild, which dropped to 16th place.

I’m not surprised at the recent slide of The Dove. The numbers started sliding a few months ago when they started modernizing with more ‘90s music. I get that they need to keep demos low. But the pop hits of the ‘80s were much more mass appeal. So The Dove may be struggling as time marches on.

Conversely, Q105’s numbers started inching back up when they dialed back their modernization and refocused on the ‘80s. Of course these are only 6+ numbers. I have no idea how any of these changes affect their 25-54 performance.
