I wonder how well the Christian stations do in the Detroit ratings.

WJR might as well play all-Christmas music...

i remember how good that sounded back in the day

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 that were highly ranked non of them even have competitors.
WMXD is the only Urban A/C, WOMC is the only Classic Hits, and WNIC is the only A/C station. The same can be said about
The Ticket with its sports format on FM radio too. I wouldn't recommend somebody trying to compete with The Ticket on
FM but I do think the music stations that I just mentioned should have competition.

WJR….wow…sad…. once dominating all of Detroit radio. Now simply a shell of its former self, spouting right-wing conspiracies.

Where's CKLW "The Big 8" and WKNR "Keener 13"? Both stations dominated the ratings 55 years ago.

WDFN is listed as All Sports. They have not been sports in over a year, have they?

Is Dan Bongino still in re-run mode?

Has anyone else noticed how low Channel 95.5 has fallen, with no competition in the format you would think they would be killing it. You have to wonder if it is a case of young people not listening to terrestrial radio?

You nailed it. Most younger people are tuned in to streaming.

We also don’t know how 93.9 Virgin Radio is performing in the ratings on this side of the river. I’m willing to bet 93.9 is stealing some numbers from 95.5 also. 95.5 has been sounding better recently but 93.9 is still the preferred choice.
