Getting back to the May Nielsen ratings for all 12 and over and without having access to specific demographics on line this is what I believe is true about the local radio market. First of all with WCSG number one I still say that many people have and are turning to religion in these crazy times we ...

The ratings came out for May and again WCSG was number one again and B-93 was number two. Both of them had an increase in their shares. WCSG jumped to an 8.3% share and B-93 jumped to a7.0% share These top two stations again dominate the G.R. area market. WGRD surpassed WLAV and that means that WGRD ...

I totally disagree with the post that said Cumulus would be stupid to sell any G.R. stations. The station that they should sell the most is 107.3 FM for sure. I have suggested many formats that would be much more viable than their "Thunder Country" nonsense and they haven't flipped it at all. Again ...

I noticed that the top five remain in the same order with WCSX, The Ticket, WKQI, WNIC, and WYCD. WOMC came in num- ber 6, WMXD number 7, and WRIF dropped to number 8. So much for the successful stations in the Detroit market. I'm still wondering when Audacy will change their bottom feeder 98.7 FM ...

Here are my comments on the April ratings. First of all WCSG and B-93 continue to dominate the market although both shares were down slightly. WLAV jumped up to number three and maintained a 5.4% share. I still say that Town Square should flip WLHT-FM to classic rock because I still believe that ...

I'm not sure what really is going on with Cumulus of G.R. but it's a shame that Rob Brandt isn't on WLAV anymore. He was the only on air guy remaining there that I liked on and off the air. I'm thinking that Cumulus was in the process of unloading their veteran air aces and Rob was the last to go ...

What I see as the highlights of the April ratings in the Detroit area are the following things that I feel should be mentioned. First of all the classic rock station WCSX is number one once again and with a 7.5% share. Their competition WLLZ dropped down to a 2.2% share. I had the idea that they ...

Because of Jack FM is the subject being discussed I still say that one of the commercial FM stations in G.R. should try the "Adult Hits" format. On my car radio I don't have "Jack FM" on first string meaning FM#1 but on occasions when I push the buttons I have set for FM # 2 or 3 that is when I give ...

I would like to comment further on the number four station WLAV that improved to a 5.4% share. I still say that they need classic rock competition badly. I think that Town Square should flip WLHT (which isn't light at all ) to classic rock and then you would have a 50,000 watt competitor to WLAV ...

Jay was right they did come out on April 28. I was right that the top two would be WCSG and B-93. Both had an increase in listenership. WGRD still remained third although their number went down slightly. If anyone cares to link up to it they will see what I'm saying. The biggest highlight is that ...

It's April 25 already so and no March overall ratings yet. I'm looking forward to what March looks like. Will WCSG remain number one? Will B-93 regain the number one position? Will there be any unexpected station besides WCSG and B-93 in the top two? My guess is that both WCSG and B-93 will be in ...

Greg Buben

The first thing I have to say is that I couldn't believe the top 40/CHR station WKQI was number one overall. To their credit they not only lead the pack but gain a whole percentage point from a 7.3% share to a 8.3% share while the inferior classic rock station WLLZ dropped a whole percentage point ...

When I posted the news of the February ratings I naturally discussed the top stations. One thing that I found peculiar about the other stations is that their was no available number for the classic hits station WFGR. I really don't understand why the Town Square sister stations have numbers listed ...

Greg Buben

The February Nielsen ratings came out on the last day of March for the Grand Rapids market. I was amazed to see that WCSG as a non commercial christian station was number one overall. Although WCSG does well in the ratings them at number one seems high even in what's a so called conservative radio ...

Greg Buben

The February Nielsen ratings have come out on line for the major markets including Detroit. WCSX is number one with a 7.4% share. WCSX went slightly up while its classic rock competition WLLZ remained with a 3.8% share. WCSX deserves to be number one for sure and I still say Beasley is the only ...
