Radio Revenues
Robert Feder has the listing of the revenues earned this year by Chicago's radio stations. To say it was a bad year for Chicago radio would be to understate the case. The entire market was down 10%. Only two stations in the top 15 made more than the year before (WGN and WXRT), while four stations in the top 25 went down more than 20% (The Drive, The Loop, WLS AM, WLS FM).
