Re: August book
My comments about the August ratings start with the number one station WKQI. If they're number one overall for the third straight book and with an audience that has some over 35 listening then maybe one of the other stations should try to give them competition. All I can say about "The Ticket" at nu...

Re: Updated ratings!
I thought that B-93 would surpass WCSG during the summer and that I attributed to the well attended B-93 birthday bash held annually in June. Although that may not be the ultimate reason for B-93 surpassing WCSG it certainly kept B-93 in the spotlight of annual summer events. I know a 7.6% is only s...

Re: July Ratings
One observation that I think is interesting about the top two stations owned by I-Heart WKQI and WMXD is that both stations shares have increased over the past few months. Of all stations in the market these two keep getting more popular. WKQI kept climbing from a 6.9% in April to a 9.6% share in Ju...

Re: July Ratings
All that I can say about the Detroit area July ratings is that I-Heart owns the top two with WKQI and WMXD. Also in the top ten at number 7 is WNIC. Meanwhile Audacy has more in the top ten then does I-Heart with "The Ticket" number 3, WOMC at number 5, WYCD at number 6, and WWJ at number 10. Beasle...

Re: Blunder 107.3 earns worst AQH share in brand history
The June ratings had the same six stations in the same order as the May ratings. Therefore I have no comment about any of the top six except that I thought B-93 might surpass WCSG because of the annual birthday bash going on in June. Again I'd like to say that most of the modern country hits produce...

Re: June 2023 radio ratings
Although there are some over 35 that like such stations as WKQI the vast majority still is under 35. If they are number one in the 25-54 as with the 12 and over most are still under 35 . Another thing to consider is the diaries could include stations that somebody is listening to when they're with o...

Re: June 2023 radio ratings
What I have to say about this months ratings goes like this. First of all I never thought a top 40/CHR station such as WKQI would be number one overall since most people over 35 hate that format. I was glad that WCSX was number two overall and because of WKQI is unpopular among those over 35 that me...

Re: Nielsen Ratings May, 2023
Getting back to the May Nielsen ratings for all 12 and over and without having access to specific demographics on line this is what I believe is true about the local radio market. First of all with WCSG number one I still say that many people have and are turning to religion in these crazy times we'...

Nielsen Ratings May, 2023
The ratings came out for May and again WCSG was number one again and B-93 was number two. Both of them had an increase in their shares. WCSG jumped to an 8.3% share and B-93 jumped to a7.0% share These top two stations again dominate the G.R. area market. WGRD surpassed WLAV and that means that WGRD...

Re: Will Cumulus be Selling Any GR Stations?
I totally disagree with the post that said Cumulus would be stupid to sell any G.R. stations. The station that they should sell the most is 107.3 FM for sure. I have suggested many formats that would be much more viable than their "Thunder Country" nonsense and they haven't flipped it at all. Again ...

Nielsen Radio Ratings for May
I noticed that the top five remain in the same order with WCSX, The Ticket, WKQI, WNIC, and WYCD. WOMC came in num- ber 6, WMXD number 7, and WRIF dropped to number 8. So much for the successful stations in the Detroit market. I'm still wondering when Audacy will change their bottom feeder 98.7 FM t...

Re: April Nielsen #s - The Q reaches new record high; WLHT's struggles continue
Here are my comments on the April ratings. First of all WCSG and B-93 continue to dominate the market although both shares were down slightly. WLAV jumped up to number three and maintained a 5.4% share. I still say that Town Square should flip WLHT-FM to classic rock because I still believe that WLA...

Re: Lori Bennett out at Cumulus Media
I'm not sure what really is going on with Cumulus of G.R. but it's a shame that Rob Brandt isn't on WLAV anymore. He was the only on air guy remaining there that I liked on and off the air. I'm thinking that Cumulus was in the process of unloading their veteran air aces and Rob was the last to go. A...

Re: April 2023 Ratings
What I see as the highlights of the April ratings in the Detroit area are the following things that I feel should be mentioned. First of all the classic rock station WCSX is number one once again and with a 7.5% share. Their competition WLLZ dropped down to a 2.2% share. I had the idea that they sho...

Re: 106.5 Jack FM
Because of Jack FM is the subject being discussed I still say that one of the commercial FM stations in G.R. should try the "Adult Hits" format. On my car radio I don't have "Jack FM" on first string meaning FM#1 but on occasions when I push the buttons I have set for FM # 2 or 3 that is when I give...
