Chicago Radio Ratings

A nice paragraph to sum up where everyone stands, courtesy of Tom Taylor's NOW column...

Chicago – Hot AC WTMX, Hubbard’s “Mix 101.9,” is indeed hot, up 5.3-5.9-6.4. That’s the first time it’s topped a 6-share in either PPM or diary measurement. It’s #3 in cume, behind the two big CHRs, Clear Channel’s “Kiss” WKSC and CBS Radio’s “B96” WBBM-FM. Back to the shares - #1 again is Clear Channel’s urban AC “V103” WVAZ, 6.5-7.0-6.9. Then comes “Mix” WTMX and CBS Radio’s all-news WBBM (plus its FM partner at 105.9) – 5.4-5.4-4.5. Tribune-owned Cubs flagship WGN is off 4.7-4.8-4.3. Merlin’s classic rock “Loop” WLUP improves 3.6-3.5-3.7 for its best PPM yet. Cumulus talker WLS (2.5-2.7-2.5) may still be missing Don Wade and Roma in mornings. In sports, it’s CBS Radio’s “Score” WSCR (2.5-2.8-2.7) compared to Disney’s WMVP (1.1-1.1-1.5).
