ACTUALLY, KWIE had its best book ever 18-34 by a pretty big margin. KGGI was still No. 1 in that demo - so the shares are there. KCXX also made some inroads as well this book after re-positioning.
What we seem to see more and more is that the I.E. wants its own identity - and will listen to local radio when it is good - and frankly, there is some good radio out there with KGGI, KWIE, KCXX, KCAL, and KFRG to name a few.
