GR Radio Ratings Oct/Nov/Dec 25

One glaring omission...NO Cumulus stations in the mix....interesting.

Also...the beginning of the Fall of FGR has already started, and BFX has not taken advantage. And we dont know about LAV at this point....

I'm surprised the river's numbers arent at least a 3 share given the christmas season.

LAV is probably upper 3's, HTS id guess a 1.7-1.9, KLQ probably low 2's, Blunder id say is 1.0-1.3 at most.

98.7's next book will definitely be low-mid 1's being that the Lions didn't go anywhere.

Cumulus is suing Nielsen. There is active litigation. I wonder if that's part of the reason for Cumulus evidently dropping its subscription for the GR and Muskegon markets?

Does WFGR carry the Lions? If you’re implying taking it off 97.1, nope. Stations in the 97.1 loop need their own right to carry. So if 98.7 isn’t the affiliate carrying Lions football, then your post is pretty much irrelevant.

Team playoff runs or controversies fuel interest in sports/talk programming here in Detroit, not just the game broadcasts themselves.

Too soon to tell if the same pattern will hold true with regard to 98.7.

100.5 didn't flip to Christmas until several weeks after 105.7. So any effect from Christmas music would be negligible.

I noticed Cumulus owned stations were not listed this go 'round in the York, PA and Harrisburg, PA publicly published reports, so this must be happening nationwide in most or all of the non-PPM markets where Cumulus owns stations.

Cumulus-owned stations are still being listed in at least some of the PPM markets where they own stations (San Francisco for one)
