Looks like the big 870 New Orleans has turned up in the Jackson ratings actually tied with WKXI and WZRX. Not bad for a station 150 miles away. It even beat out several local stations that didn't even show up in the books. 930 and 1240 are ususally bottom feeders as is 780, but they might actually have more listeners than you realize since many of them are illegal aliens. (excuse me: "undocumented workers")

Even more impressive with Jackson seeming to be smack dab in the middle of their fade zone (area where skywave and groundwave interfere).

Ya think any New Orleans residents transplanted from the storm got any diaries and just listed their hometown station out of loyalty? Ya think people actually fill out Arb diaries and say they and their whole family listen to a station all day when they really don't? Let's call it the "Hallelujah Effect".<P ID="signature">______________

It actually comes in quite well in Jackson, even in the daytime. At night, it booms in with very little fading. I'm sure the numbers have a lot to do with former N.O. residents listening. After the hurricane, they were calling in from Dallas, Jackson, Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta, etc. BTW, does WWL still show up in the top 10 in Hattiesburg?

Hattiesburg-Laurel is a twice-yearly rated market and WWL did not show in the most recent release.

I listened to WWL quite a bit after Katrina day and night with good reception. Normaly you can only hear WWL daytime on a good car radio and not near a power line which is nearly impossible these days because of all the wires criss crossing the highway. My power was out so the AM band was static free. You'd be surprised at all the stuff you can pick up on AM when the lights go out. Even the car radios sounded better except when you went into an area that had electricity and then you'd lose everything exept the locals. I don't think the power companies care about the static anymore. it seems its gotten worse in recent years. The static is so bad at my house you barely hear the locals on some days. I have no floresents and no dimmer switches and its still horrible. Some streets have so much static that the entire AM band is completley wiped out for miles.

I wonder if 780 is making any money off the Spanish format. Sure, there may be quite a number of listeners, but if they are here undocumented, then how can you track how many are listening?
Another surprise in the ratings was WJXN beating WHJT for the first time. I don't listen to Christian music much, so I don't know what JXN is doing right and HJT doing wrong. Both do rely heavily (if not entirely) on satellited programming. Maybe the music and signal is the difference?
