I understand that N/A probably means "not available", but can someone tell me why their share is "not available?"

Cumulus has stopped paying Nielsen and is suing Nielsen over alleged anti-competitive business practices.

Streams for Audacy that previously were reported separately and appeared as an individual line item are now combined with the AQH share of the associated broadcast signal.

I'm unsure why 107.5 is now N/A; I suspect their Nielsen subscription expired.

Looks like 94.7 has ceded some AQH share to WOMC. I suspect some of that erosion is due to U-M basketball and hockey broadcasts during evenings and weekends. Those broadcasts might be net revenue positive, though, for 94.7 compared to prior programming.

Odd how Audacy is no longer subscribing to streaming ratings, unless there is some other reason?

Any reason why WJLB is up so much? It’s not a station I ever listen to.

Lumping streaming and broadcast into single line reporting makes more sense than separating the two.
