Here are the 6+ numbers release 8/31:

I will save some folks the trouble: These numbers are not true "ratings". No advertising is sold based on these numbers.

IMHO the trends displayed in these numbers are for discussions only.

Cox had a good month. Have they finally beat V103?

 

[Abrozial]

Yeah it is still here and probably won't go anywhere

The number of stations not subscribing grows.

WABE
WAKL
WALR (new this month)
WRAS (new this month)

Why would Cox drop its WALR Nielson subscription?

As for WRAS and WABE, my fuzzy memory is there used to be a special deal that the NPR stations used to get from Neilson. Maybe that has expired.

Looks like they updated it some time after your post. WABE in 11th place...

WABE-FM

News/Talk

Board of Education City of Atlanta

3.1

4.3

3.5

3.2

The last number here is for Mar 21. I notice the table posted above is up to Feb.

WRAS is still N/A.

The number of stations not subscribing grows.

There seems to be a problem at Nielsen. Several markets have a few stations with N/A that make no sense. Last month, Nielsen issued some corrected ratings due to reporting errors. It might be the same this month.

For example, last month WABE was N/A. Then the revised numbers have them listed for both April & March.
