KCFR 6.0 Ratings for once??? Does people really like listening to public radio talk news or something now? That is shocking to see this for once! KCFR has never had a 6.0 rating before!

I think KCFR has been in the 6's before. It has been a year or two though. They did a 5.9 in both August and September.

Interesting how KYGO (5.2 to 4.5) and KWOF (2.2 to 1.3) have both dropped - probably due to KWBL, who isn't listed.
I wonder if/when KWOF will switch to Sports...

KQKS has been dropping. It used to be in the top 5 for years; now 16th.

I was going to ask, if it was safe to assume the KBPI shown is actually the new KBPI or if it's actually KWBL? 106.7 has a better signal than 92.5, so 92.5 can be local all they want, sometimes people just want static free instead. Feel for the people at the Wolf if they can it, they've never given up, but I bet come April on Altitudes 2 year anniversary, they'll make the jump to 92.5. A real FM competitor to the Fan will be fun. Amazing after 2 years the amount of people I speak with that still don't know 950 exists.

I'm willing to guess that the KBPI shown is the new one for 107.9 in other words yes I think it's safe to assume that. As for Altitude I do think you're right that they could end up being on 92.5 in Apri. While I have not heard anything I do suspect that could be one of the reasons IHeart decided to do Country on 106.7.

Kool, Alice and KYGO (as well as KCFR) had seismic changes.. i'm sort of guessing panel change? I also wonder if the demo's are equally wacky thusly.

It's not supposed to change that much with a panel change.
I think KXKL and KALC went back up because KOSI dropped their holiday music format. It seems to happen every year.
KYGO dropping was probablly KWBL entering the picture. Hopefully the next ratings will show us what KWBL has done.
