From: Tom Taylor's Now: Denver has 11.5 shares of news, talk and sports, just in the ranks of the top three. Leader again is Colorado Public Radio’s not-for-profit KCFR (6.4-6.7-6.6), and this time it wins mornings, afternoons and even nights. Third is iHeart news/talk/NFL Broncos KOA (5.1-6.2-5.1). It’s #1 weekends with football. Sandwiched in between is adult alternative KBCO (iHeart, 5.1-5.2-5.5, and the #1 station middays). A softer book for Bonneville’s fourth-ranked country KYGO (6.0-5.8-5.0), as iHeart’s rival “Bull” KBWL claims some real estate (2.8-2.8-3.5). It’s ranked #13. Fifth place is a three-way affair, among Bonneville AC KOSI (5.0-4.9-4.9), Entercom’s classic rock “Mountain” KQMT (6.0-4.8-4.9) and Stan Kroenke’s classic hits “Kool 105” KXKL (4.7-5.0-4.9). Next is “Alice,” Entercom’s hot AC KALC (4.3-4.5-4.7, and second mornings). Chris Huff says the 4.7 is KALC’s best in exactly three years. And check the streaming number for Alice – a 0.7. Tied for ninth are sports “Fan” KKFN (Bonneville, 3.8-4.0-4.4) and alternative KTCL (iHeart, 5.0-4.1-4.4). An off-book for Entercom’s rhythmic KQKS (3.3-2.9-2.6). But the “Comedy 103.1” format on its HD2 signal and a translator is still drawing an appreciative audience (1.3-1.0-1.3). The “Altitude Sports” franchise that moved to Kroenke’s KKSE-FM scores a 0.4, while the AM, which stayed sports, has a 0.1. AC KOSI leads in weekly cume at nearly 695,000.

Here's the changes I see... KIMN dropped a bunch, out of the top 10, down to 14th. KWBL is starting to take a little of KYGO's listeners, up into the top 15. KJHM has risen to their highest I can remember, up to 16th. KQKS continues to drop, down to 17th. KVOD lost over half of what they had in the last book, down to 20th. KKSE FM hasn't made much of an inpact, moving to Sports with a 0.4.
