We Wuz Wonderin'

[DrAkbar]

..how the departed GM of Airhead America came up with his #3 ranking (AM only) in his farewell letter dated 2/28? Last time Nurse Jeff checked, the Fall '05 AM 12+ ranking was KFYI, KT'R, KOY, KKNT, then KXXT. Oh, that's right.. KFYI & KKNT don't count 'cause they're both neo-con stations! Now we're wonderin' who gets all those personally signed 8x10's of Randi Rhodes?

He said TIED for #3. Whoopee. That just goes to show that numbers can be sold to look better than they are.

Most likely the key demographic—Men 25-54 Isn't that where usually the money is made?

And that numbers mean nothing when they don't translate into similar revenues. If KKNT (call letters should be illegal, BTW) billed as much as KXXT, they'd be flipping to Spanish or reggae or whatever else. KFYI has 4x the 12+ share and well over 10x the revenue. "We were profitable"... wow! Hire one local talent and have a computer run the rest. Starguide receivers must be really expensive these days...
