I think it's the combination of how much Denver area listeners switch the dial around (which can be a lot with a lot of similar formatted stations), and different samplings that Nielsen gets when capturing the ratings. I think some of the listeners of KQMT will switch between KRFX 103.5 FM, KBCO 97.3 FM and KXKL 105.1 FM. And to a smaller extent to KKCK (93.7 FM), KJAC 105.5 FM, and KKCL (96.9 FM) as well.

The Country music station war has leveled out with KYGO staying at a 5.7 for top rated country station and 2nd overall in the 12+. KWBL is at a 2.7 for 16th overall. KWOF is at a 1.2 for 23rd overall.
