WOW at 265,000-watt WSRW losing in the beauty pageant numbers to an AM/FM translator combo. Has 105.7 ever been this low in the 12+ rankings? Are the 40-something women not listening to WCSG preferring the butt-rock parade on GRD these days?
With these ratings, I wonder if they (and/or 100.5) pull the trigger early on Christmas music this year.

Re: Holy batman, GRD. Big gains in new Nielsen #s.
Frankly, I can't even figure out what WGRD is doing right.
But, yeah, it must be something... or some sort of fortuitous book placement.
There haven't been numbers this good since 2009 (see https://web.archive.org/web/20090828061 ... exe/arb127)
(And, oh, look... there's WMAX-FM, as an Alternative, pulling a 1.9. Somehow, that seems way better than what the frequency is getting nowadays.)

Re: Holy batman, GRD. Big gains in new Nielsen #s.
95.7 and 105.7 are some of the best signals in the market and they're doing historically garbage numbers.
Do nothing morning shows and boring playlists are not getting anything done.
Quite frankly WSNX isn't doing as well either with their piped in talent. They're simply the best of the worst in their demos.
It'll be interesting to see if Rob Sparks has any luck pulling numbers for 105.3. It might be time to retool that AM show as the gimmick has often pulled down the rest of the dayparts.

Your misogyny is showing. Why would they change what's working with the Green and Gray show? Just because a man doesn't like it. Please.GnashManDu wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2023 12:08 pm

Re: Holy batman, GRD. Big gains in new Nielsen #s.
I expected B-93 would top the list of stations once again. I didn't expect WGRD to surpass WCSG based on recent trends.
WGRD does however have the widest variety of rock from the latest to the greatest hits of such hippy era bands as The Doors. I'd love to find out how well WGRD does in the desired 25-54 demographic especially compared to B-93 and to
WCSG. With WOOD as number four I could easily understand that because of they're still the "News Leader" and in Sep-
tember that also means Michigan Wolverines Football contributes to their increase in the September ratings.
With WLAV in fifth place I still think that Grand Rapids deserves a better classic rock station and I still think that the
Town Square people of G.R. should flip WLHT to classic rock because that's the only Town Square FM station in the mar-
ket that has the power to compete with WLAV. WLHT really is an awful station and again the WLHT call letters are very
outdated because they're not Adult Contemporary anymore. The "Hot A/C format on WLHT isn't mellow at all and even
the so called regular A/C as heard on Star 105.7 FM includes songs I would never consider playing in an A/C format.
I can see why they are down at Star 105.7 FM but again they will soon go to their annual Christmas music format as
will "The River" either on or near Halloween.

CHR radio is basically dead here, nothing interesting, most people stream TOP 40 or get it from tiktok anyways
