Take a look at the August Boston ratings listed at http://www.radio-info.com/site/markets/grid/boston . Either the numbers for WEEI and WEEI-FM are mixed up, or else a large part of the Boston audience suddenly moved to Providence!

I was thinking the same thing!
It's obviously misformatted. WEEI-FM's August rating is attributed to WEEI (AM), and vice versa. This resulted in the two stations appearing in each other's ranking slots.
WEEI-FM appears as #8, and WEEI (AM) appears as #23. They're supposed to be the other way around.
Also, the ratings for WBZ-FM and WBMX are for what was on those frequencies (98.5 and 104.1) since June, regardless of the call letters. In other words, the June/July ratings attributed to WBZ-FM are for WBMX on their old frequency 98.5, and the June/July ratings attributed to WBMX are actually the last two full months of WBCN on 104.1. The August ratings are for the new/current call letters as listed.
It also lists WWFX Worcester as "WWFX-AM". WWFX is 100.1 FM. Whoever put that page together was sloppy.
Perhaps stations like that and WLNH showing up were Boston area vacationers who spent part of the summer up in the NH Lakes region, and reported stations they were listening to up there?

Am reminded of how the Globe used to say the Sox game was on "WEEI-FM (850)" (sic) and how the Sox'
onetime Providence affiliate was "WRPO 630"...
