What Happened in the Progressive Talk Wars?

[fred flintstone]

Buffalo ratings are embargoed but there was some discussion here about how some stations had done.
I didn't see any mention, however, of Buffalo's dueling progressive talk stations: WHLD (Newstalk 1270: The Voice of Reason) and WWKB 1520 (Buffalo's Left Channel).
How did they fare overall and compared to each other?
If anybody who has seen the book does not feel comfortable posting about this, please Message me and I will re-post the info.

I've seen the numbers. Obviously, I can't quote specifics because of the embargo. But suffice it to say neither station is having an impact on the Buffalo market. Conclusions shouldn't be based on just one book. But at this point, Buffalo area radio listeners seem to be ignoring the two progressive talk stations here.

WHLD and WWKB are WBEN's bee-yotch. WBEN owns the market, the other two stations aren't even on the radar. No big surprise when you listen to the people on those stations, with perhaps Ed Schultz being the exception.-9-

Should we be surprised? I guess instead of a "war", we should refer to it as a minor skirmish.

Thanks. Not surprised.
Is either doing any better than the other?
And you say "not on the radar" do you mean fractions (off the radar on All Access) or do you mean asterisk?

Is Entercom promoting WWKB or are they ignoring it like they did for the previous format?
