September Nielsen Monthly
https://ratings.radio-online.com/content/arb011
Highlights: WOMC retakes the lead, WJLB back down to normal levels (but Mix had a good monthly), New Country up to a 3.4! ALT and Fake Wheelz still flat, same old, same old. Not sure how much they're cuming but 97.1's stream is now within striking distance of beating Snot 107-5.

Re: September Nielsen Monthly
I noticed that WOMC was number one once again with Classic Hits. I think WOMC needs competition and I think Detroit
could use a classic hits that mixes in 60's hits along with the 70's and 80's hits heard on WOMC. Perhaps Cumulus could
flip WDRQ to this kind of classic hits station or maybe I-Heart could flip WLLZ to it. Obviously Audacy is successful with the
Classic Hits of the 70's and 80's but some 60's hits especially from artists still significant today would offer a wider variety
of hits in the mix. That format also could take away some listeners from the number two station WCSX the successful
classic rock station. Anyway, that is something that I-Heart and Cumulus could take into consideration.

There's always CKWW but 500 watts on a directional AM doesn't do much.Greg Buben wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 1:16 pm I noticed that WOMC was number one once again with Classic Hits. I think WOMC needs competition and I think Detroit

Didn't 106.7 try that several times?

Nope, always classic rock each time. They did do variety hits for a bit before the botched “Alt” flip. They sounded damn good then.edj wrote:There's always CKWW but 500 watts on a directional AM doesn't do much.Greg Buben wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 1:16 pm I noticed that WOMC was number one once again with Classic Hits.

I think everyone on Wheels fits just fine; just adjust the playlist to what it should be.

Re: September Nielsen Monthly
I'm boycotting FM radio until one of these owners grows a pair and creates a format where I can hear Bon Jovi no less than 5 times a day.
Until then, podcasts it is.

On the way home tonight, I heard WLLZ play the Steve Miller Band "Take the Money and Run" followed immediately by Bon Jovi "You give love a bad Name"Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Sat Oct 08, 2022 6:28 pm I'm boycotting FM radio until one of these owners grows a pair and creates a format where I can hear Bon Jovi no less than 5 times a day.

There are THREE stations where I could potentially hear that same segue... and WLLZ wonders why they are dead last. The mid-90's version of WLLZ, with Gary Palmer as PD, and Jeff Pollack's "safe list" along with a carefully selected list of current AOR tracks was pretty bland, but it was leaps and bounds better than this.

Re: September Nielsen Monthly
I really wish you had some kind of recordings or playlists or something to that effect. I do seem to recall WLLZ getting kind of boring around 1992-93 or so.Colonel Flagg wrote: ↑Sat Oct 08, 2022 9:29 pmOn the way home tonight, I heard WLLZ play the Steve Miller Band "Take the Money and Run" followed immediately by Bon Jovi "You give love a bad Name"Mega Hertz wrote: ↑Sat Oct 08, 2022 6:28 pm I'm boycotting FM radio until one of these owners grows a pair and creates a format where I can hear Bon Jovi no less than 5 times a day.

I always refer to that air check from 1995 where M. Dung plays a Megadeth current into a recurrent Tom Petty. Sheesh.

Re: September Nielsen Monthly
LOL at 96.3's rating. Cumulus gives DVD much more attention and resources and now they're behind WDRQ.
Hard to blame the Program Director as he is also responsible for New Country rising in the ratings in the face of increased competition in the genre.
Salaries will need to be adjusted if DVD is now the 15th most listened to station in Detroit.
WJR should be seeing a bigger election bump btw.

One poster said he listened for a while and it was a bunch of current female artists back to back, but I turned it on and 50 Cent was playing

I might sample 96.3 once a week at most, and it seems like it's always when they're playing "In Da Club".stopnswop2 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 10, 2022 1:08 amI can't even tell what format 96.3 even is.RadioRat wrote: ↑Sun Oct 09, 2022 9:25 pm LOL at 96.3's rating.

Re: September Nielsen Monthly
The PD is the first person to look to when a station tanks. Who else, the air talent that talks MAYBE 2 minutes an hour outside of morning drive? Ridiculous.
Salaries don't go up or down with ratings btw
