Chicago Radio Ratings

No big surprises in the latest Chicago radio ratings. From Tom Taylor's NOW Column...


*Urban AC “V103” WVAZ tops the market again, 5.6-5.9-6.1.

*Next is CBS Radio’s all-news WBBM and its FM partner, 5.0-5.0-5.5.

*Third is Hubbard’s hot AC “Mix” WTMX, 4.9-5.0-4.9.

*CC’s top 40 “Kiss” WKSC (4.1-4.3-4.5), tied with CBS Radio’s country “US99.5” WUSN (4.4-4.4-4.5) and just ahead of CBS’s rhythmic “B96” WBBM-FM, 3.9-4.5-4.4 and Cumulus classic hits WLS-FM (4.3-3.4-4.4).

*Notable month for Univision’s regional Mexican WOJO, 3.0-3.5-3.7. But a bad month for Cubs baseball flagship WGN. The Tribune-owned talk station may be paying for some talent changes, including moving Garry Meier off of PM drive, as it goes 4.6-4.0-3.6.

*Chicago Public Media’s news/talk WBEZ is a bit softer, 1.8-1.7-1.4. That ties it with Cumulus talker WLS, 1.6-1.4-1.4.

*In sports, there’s CBS Radio’s “Score” WSCR, 2.4-2.0-1.9 and ESPN-run WMVP, 1.9-1.5-1.6.

*Chicago’s cume leader is CHR “Kiss” with an average weekly cume of 2,365,600.
