THIS MONTH'S PPM...
- Thread starter radiojomo
- Start date
Up
KBIG - #1 25-54 in April
AMP - Giving KIIS a run for their money in 18-34 and 18-49
JACK - first KLSX goes away and sends them some Men. Now 93.9 is gone. Huge growth
Hot - Got a big bump from 93.9 changing formats in the last three weeks. Music moves should help too.
Recuerdo - The two Class A's now have the best ratings in the building. Props to David. Also #1 Spanish 25-54 with two Class A's.
KKGO - 6+ and 12+ look nice. Still skews a bit older but 25-54 looks better than ever
Down
KLVE - Been declining for months and hit a new low. Exitos likely to affect them even more.
KSCA - up a bit this month but been declining steady and now the #3 Regional player
KROQ and 98-7 - Both off slightly this month 18-34 and 18-49
Also of note
KSWD has stayed steady - up just a bit this month but still #27 25-54
El Gato has triple the INDIE 103.1 numbers...

KIIS is still number one. BUT JUST LOOK AT HOW IT'S NUMBERS ARE GOING DOWN! At the beginning of the year, it had a solid 6.0 but now it's at a 4.9. You can't say that KIIS isn't in trouble. AMP'S numbers have still been increasing even though a few you guys on the boards had said AMP was done after "10,000 Songs in a Row". AMP sounds 10 times better than KIIS! It's a great station! I used to listen to KROQ and KYSR as my two principal stations and when I started to cover the switch from Talk to Top 40, I got sucked in! The station just sounds amazing. The imaging is great and it really brings life into me for my work day.
Radioresearcher said:
Yes The Sound is #27 in 6+ and #27 in 25-54. Because IMO they lean very heavily on a classic rock/"safe" AAA tracks playlist. Very little originality in the playlist and that is why they are doing better. The old LCD theory. I noticed their cume went down last month and again this month. What do you make of that, RadioResearcher?
As to 103.1, well we all know Indie was way too eclectic and unfocused to achieve any fair numbers.
Not exactly SuperRadioFan, Indie seemed to be focused at its last days. The station was more radio friendly than it had been before, and honestly, I did not have a problem with that. It was just like KROQ with more new music and I honestly LIKED that. People (mainstream listeners) usually avoided Indie because it was too different and not very radio friendly, but if people had started listening when it did become more radio friendly, the still probably would have been on the air today. The only problem for Indie was the signal! When you have KYSR and KROQ with powerful signals and KDLD with its Class A signal, who would you listen to?SuperRadioFan said:
I have a good feeling El Gato will suffer soon. More Mexicans are leaving the US because of the recession and David had said a little rumor about KDAY switching to Spanish.
radiojomo said:
El Gato competes against KSCA and KLAX.
In December (Indie's last full month), they had 8% of KROQ's share and 13% of KYSR's share 12+
In April, El Gato had 30% of KLAX's share and 36% of KSCA's share 12+
It wasn't the signal - it was the programming.
Radioresearcher said:
While it is a regional Mexican alternative, it is also a rhythmic alternative to KLVE, and pretty much decimated Jose, which was, till then the Regional alternative.
It's an alternative to regional talk blocks, and a viable mood alternative to AC:

i'm pretty sure Indie's problem was the signal...in parts of L.A. where Indie was popular the signal did not cover that area. everyone loved the programming. i feel if Indie were on a much better frequency, it could beat out KROQ or KYSR...Radioresearcher said:

As Yogi Berra said, I'm feeling like it's Deja Vu all over again. I think this has been addressed in the past, probably by David or any of the other experts here. How do you measure the areas where "Indie was popular" even though the area could not receive a good signal? Even in the areas near the 103.1 transmitter, KROQ and I think also KYSR still handily beat Indie. It is not the signal.
Radioresearcher (or anyone else)
Any explanation for this? Thanks

i am not trying to dispute what you are saying, but couldn't you say that the reason why KROQ still is listened to more in certain areas because of the fact it is a legendary station. i admit i was wrong when i said "it could beat KROQ"SuperRadioFan said:
SuperRadioFan said:
I don't have access to the details but if The Sound's cume is down but their AQH is up, then their TSL must have soared. Their 1.4 share in April (6+) is double what it was in January!
radiojomo said:
Two of the signals barely penetrate any area of population of the LA metro. The other is a decent secondary facility, and it would seem that the Gato format, on KDLD, is beening considered for a move to 107.1. Given the bad signal of KDLD, the solid showing for the format would indicate it would perform quite well on 107.1. On the other hand, the KSSE format is exclusive and unduplicated, making it a very good sales story and a very salable format.
Re: Radioresearcher (or anyone else)
Their 25-54 cume and share went up in April - actually the third best share month they've had. They've became slightly more familiar the last few months and the ratings are up a bit - not a surprise.SuperRadioFan said:

What do you suppose would happen with the 103.1's. Being Gato is working there perhaps it's the best bet to keep it there.

Well, not really everyone...maybe 6 tenths of one percent of everyone.
