Re: New Radio Ratings July 25

I have offered different ideas for Cumulus to run on the 50,00 watt 107.3 FM instead of their crazy and insane idea of continuing to copy B-93 with modern major label country hits. If Cumulus isn't interested in changing that station then perhaps it's time that they sell 107.3 FM to somebody else. B...

Re: Nielsen Audio #'s for Grand Rapids - release date 6.27.2022

One of the post responses said that it was possible for Grand Rapids to have two country stations. That would be true if a country station other than B-93 were to play classic country or perhaps some form of diversified country. When it comes to playing the exact same modern major label country hits...

Re: June 2022 radio ratings

I 've noticed that Detroit hasn't had a format change since the fall of 2020 just like Grand Rapids hasn't had one. It seems to me that one of the bottom feeders such as WDRQ or WDZH should fliip to something else. I still think that WLLZ should do as I said earlier and eliminate the wimpy overplaye...

Re: Grand Rapids May Nielsen Ratings

As I said in my last post Grand Rapids hasn't had a format change on any commercial radio station since the fall of 2020 when 101.3 FM went from "The Brew" to "The Big 101.3 FM". I think that is way too long without a format change and I believe the Grand Rapids commercial radio scene has become too...

Grand Rapids May Nielsen Ratings

The monthly ratings for the Grand Rapids market have come out once again and B-93 is number one once again. B-93 had a 7.3% share while their pseudo competition "Thunder Country" or as some call it "Blunder Country" had a 1.6% share. I wonder how long Cumulus radio will continue their nonsense and i...

November Radio Ratings

The November Radio Ratings from Nielsen came out and B-93 is number one once again with the modern country hits all of which are on major record labels, B-93 dropped to a 7.7% share although they maintained their number one position. Although I don't like what the major label record companies with t...

Re: Could Alt 98.7 move to WWJ Simulcast?

I think that would be a great idea to flip 98.7 FM to a WWJ all news simulcast. As I said from the last Detroit ratings of November WWJ was number six which is good for an AM and HD2 FM and if they have a FM signal on a regular FM signal they will have higher ratings yet. Meanwhile I think the curre...

Re: November 2021 Radio Ratings

The Detroit area radio ratings have come out for November. The Classic Hits station WOMC at 104.3 FM is number one with a 7.2% share. WOMC is the only classic hits station in Detroit and I looked up a sample of their classic hits on line and its 70's and 80's classic hits. I think somebody in Detroi...

Re: Oct 21 Grand Rapids Radio Ratings

With the exception of non commercial Christian station WCSG the top stations in the market are owned by I- Heart. B-93 is number one with the modern country hits at a 8.4% share, WSNX is number two with its Top 40/CHR format with a 6.3% share, and after WCSG is listed I Heart owns the 4th station WO...

Re: Oct 21 Grand Rapids Radio Ratings

B-93 is number one once again with the modern country hits. B-93 had a 8.4% share. Furthermore B-93 jumped up from a 7.7% share to 8.4% share. Meanwhile that silly "Thunder Country" competition is still a bottom feeder that went from a 1.8% share down to a 1.6% share. I''ll say it again Cumulus can'...

Re: Detroit Radio Ratings for October

WCSX deserves to be number one in Detroit with its classic rock format. Their competition WLLZ only got a 3.1% share while WCSX got a 6.9% share. WLLZ hasn't yet found a way to surpass WCSX and I don't think the I-Heart people of Detroit are really capable of surpassing WCSX. With the other stations...

Re: I'll give Cumulus credit for one thing...

The only thing Cumulus does right in Grand Rapids is WLAV with Classic Rock and that's only because nobody gives "LAV any real competition. The other stations in G.R. suck and the ratings clearly demonstrate that. As I said before their silly "Thunder Country" at 107.3 FM is the first station of the...
