Rather or not a station reports the music they are playing to R&R does not factor in to their ratings. This means nothing to WLWI but less of a headache each week in compiling the numbers. And in all truth, reporting the songs they played could have made it easier for other stations who are not reporting to decide what songs to play.
Strictly opinion here but for Bama Country 98.9 to over take WLWI they are going to have to get Don Day or Bubba to come over to their station. <P ID="signature">______________
