Re: Nielsen Detroit radio ratings
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...

Re: January Book Ratings, Big Wins For iHeart while Cumulus Limps
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...

Re: January Book Ratings, Big Wins For iHeart while Cumulus Limps
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...

Re: January Book Ratings, Big Wins For iHeart while Cumulus Limps
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...

Re: January 2024 ratings
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...

WLLZ Continues Doing It
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 ...

Re: Holiday 2023 ratings
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.

Re: Nielsen audio AQH shares - new results for GR, K'zoo and Muskegon
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...

Re: Nielsen audio AQH shares - new results for GR, K'zoo and Muskegon
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 ...

Re: December 2023 Ratings
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...

Re: Blunder 107.3 ties worst AQH share ever; WGRD expands lead over WLAV
I was corrected that it was Citadel who dropped oldies from 107.3 FM and moved WKLQ to that frequency. I forgot about the ownership at the time but I thought it was a terrible move because WODJ had somewhat of a following with "All Oldies All Of The Time". When Cumulus did buy the Citadel stations o...

Re: Blunder 107.3 ties worst AQH share ever; WGRD expands lead over WLAV
I just saw the G.R. area ratings for November and I saw that B-93 was number one once again. I still wonder how long Cumulus will continue this insane nonsense of playing the same modern major label country hits on their Blunder Country when B-93 has that market cornered and will continue to do so. ...

Re: Nielsen November 2023 radio ratings
After reading the November overall ratings I further Googled Detroit radio ratings and I found that they listed a few of the significant demographics which were 18-34, 18-49. and 25-54. "The Ticket" was number one not only in the overall 12+ but also in 18-49 and the 25-54 demographics. WKQI which w...

Re: WGRD is the new top dog in latest Arbs
Although WGRD is highly ranked I never expected it to be above WCSG and B-93. As I've said before they cover a wide range of music from new to old. The other thing I noticed is that all of the top ranked stations all went down slightly while some of the lower ranked stations improved slightly. WBFX ...

First of all I noticed that the top three stations in September are the same three in October. I would like to thank the Metalhead for the link that includes specific demographics for 18-34, 18-49, and 25-54. I was pleased to see that WCSX bounced back up to number four although I didn't see it in t...
