Here's how many stations each company had in the top ten stations of the March Nielsen Ratings: Company Amount of Stations Which stations and their ranking Audacy 4 #2 The Ticket, #4 WYCD, #7 WOMC, and #9 WWJ I-Heart 3 #1 WNIC, #3 WKQI, and #8 WMXD Beasley 3 #4 WCSX, #5 WRIF, and #10 WMGC Cumulus 0 ...

As much as I would love to have somebody with a commercial FM station of 50,000 watts compete with WLAV with a better classic rock station I know that would require another company in the market to purchase an already existing sta- tion. Without that happening it looks to me like classic rock on G.R...

In the February ratings WGRD came in number 6. I still say that WGRD plays the best variety of rock with their active rock format. The fact that significant 70's classic rock is included in the format of WGRD is probably the main reason why Town Square wouldn't consider flipping WLHT to classic rock...

I thought that was strange that somebody reacted to the January ratings with one of my comments instead of saying something about the new February ratings. As I was saying according to Nielsen WCSG is number one overall with their non commercial Christian format. WCSG went up by 1.3% while B-93 drop...

If I saw the new February ratings I thought for sure that one of our regulars would have posted the link and given some commentary. All I can say is I found it interesting that the ratings came out on Good Friday and that the non commercial Christian station WCSG beat out all of the commercial stati...

Although in earlier posts I said that WYCD would move up in the overall ratings I really didn't expect WYCD with a higher number than WRIF, WCSX, and WMXD. Without WDRQ as competition I thought that the people who like the modern coun- try hits would make WYCD a higher rated station. Since WLLZ went...

WLHT did improve to a 4.!% share in the last ratings therefore I don't expect Town Square to give up their "Hot A/C" format. What I'm still in favor of is somebody with a 50,000 watt commercial FM station competing against the declining WLAV. Now under the system of three basic commercial radio comp...

Although WLHT jumped up to 8th place with a 4.1% share I still think that they should drop that awful format. I don't have a problem with them playing nothing before 2000 but I do have a problem with the music they do play from 2000 onward. First of all the format is suppose to be "Hot A/C" but to m...

I was pleased to see the January ratings came out and again B-93 and WCSG were on top once again. Both of these stations are run professionally and have loyal audiences. With WOOD coming in third it shows that I-Heart can do the news/ talk format better than the other commercial radio companies in G...

I agree with one of the earlier posts that "The Ticket" is number one with the help of The Detroit Lions in the NFL playoffs. WNIC really went down by 9.3% with their post holiday ratings now that they're back to their boring A/C format. I noticed that WKQI, WYCD, WRIF, WOMC, and WWJ all had increas...

I was watching The Detroit Red Wings Hockey game yesterday and I noticed that WLLZ continues their commercials on TV where they promote themselves as it they're classic hard rock/ heavy metal by saying that they're the station for AC/DC and other classic heavy metal and hard rock bands. I still say ...

What I don't know is where they draw the line between December ratings and Holiday ratings in the major markets.
Also I noticed that Detroit is now the 14th market in the country instead of 13th.

I just read Grahams response to my post and to some extent I can say yes many songs such as "More Than a Feeling" by Boston which was a top 40 hit when I was in high school has been and still is overplayed. What I would do if I were to go up against WLAV as a classic rock station would be to offer s...

As always I was glad to see the December ratings posted. First of all the most impressive jump was with Star 105.7 with their Christmas music jumping from a 4.2% share to a 6.2% share. The Christmas boost wasn't quite so favorable for the other Christmas station "The River" that went from a 2.2% to ...

Out of the top five stations in the Detroit market ( WNIC, The Ticket, WKQI, WCSX, and WYCD) in my opinion WCSX is the best of the top five. They always beat their competitor WLLZ and they sound better than almost all classic rock stations in Michigan including WLAV in Grand Rapids and WMMQ in Lansi...
