Chicago Radio Ratings

From this morning's NOW newsletter...

Chicago likes consistency – which means the leader is again iHeart’s urban AC “V103” WVAZ (6.7-5.9-6.5). The only daypart it doesn’t claim is mornings, where it’s third. Second overall is the station that does win the lucrative morning daypart, and that’s Hubbard’s hot AC “Mix” WTMX (4.7-5.0-5.2, total week). Remember, the future of missing morning show partner Kathy Hart was still unknown until the final week of this book, and we now know that Eric Ferguson and his crew will carry on without her. CBS Radio is third with news WBBM/WCFS (4.4-4.7-4.7). ’BBM is #2 mornings and tied for second on weekends. Fourth place is CBS sports “Score” WSCR (3.7-3.9-3.9), and tied in fifth place with 3.8 shares are iHeart’s top 40 “Kiss” WKSC (3.8-4.1-3.8) and CBS country “US99” WUSN (4.1-4.2-3.8). The Score is #2 at night with the MLB Cubs, while WUSN’s best daypart is weekends (fourth). Watch the gain for Chicago Public Media’s not-for-profit news/talk WBEZ (2.3-2.6-2.9). Its “Morning Edition” is fourth in that daypart. The Windy City’s largest weekly cume is attracted by top 40 Kiss, at just over 2 million.
