Spring Butt Wuppin'

[Ron]

Ahhhh, CTO, not the same purrrr it used to have. Well, atleast they can still lick themselves and land on their feet.

I would love to see the breakdowns 25-54 Mornings.

Maybe some one could post the ranks? Please?

Is coming in 2nd 3/10ths of a point below the Hawk really a "butt whippin'"? Would think ZZO's the one with the red backend, now behind LEV.  In the AM race Oldies 1470 is almost tied with WAEB now, would say now successful in replacing their popular standards format of a few years back.  WHOL is more of a player than I ever remember.  YSP is the top non-market station - is it the rock, or Howard - guess we'll see by next year.

I agree with this analysis. ZZO and LEV should be wondering how they can do better.
One other note: WAEB-AM has no real in-market news/talk competition. This is the best they can do? Why does WABC from NYC get a significant showing in the Valley?

A 1.3 jump in 12+ is a butt wuppin in my book...and Arbitron's too.

There are thousands of folks who have moved to The Valley over the last few years who couldn't name a local radio station if their life depended on it. They moved from Jersey and NY and still only listen to NY stations, especially AM station fans. Most don't even know what channel 69 is. They consider where they are living (Macungie, Hanover Twsp, Bethlehem) as a suburb of "The City".
