Summer local radio station ratings are in, some surprises.

[punch]

These are the new Twin Cities radio station ratings for the summer. This data is collected by using the new PeopleMeter.

Cliffs: Before ratings were figured out by a physical diary that people had to log their radio listening into. Like, "I listened to KS95 for 3 hours this morning". Now they have a device, like a pager, that the listener wears and it logs what station you're listening too via individual signals that each station transmits just for the PeopleMeter.

This is bad news for some stations because advertising rates are set by the ratings. Turns out talk radio is getting HAMMERED.

Punch, you are following the lead of SFC and not including context. Tisk Tisk.

Do you expect talk radio to thrive in Summer months? Schools are out and most listen to music during the day, not talk. Vacations. Other plans during warm weather. Talk radio getting hammered? Look at the trend as it support this. August music stations are down, talk is moving up... Not defending one vs. another, just dealing with the data.

AM1500 got rid of Mischke and some other good hosts.

I then stopped listening to AM1500.

I'm so sick of politics that I could puke. Seems thats the only thing on talk radio this day and age.

I don't see what vacations and school being out having to do with drive time talk radio...

People still go to work during the summer don't they?! Last time I checked they do.

Fuck talk radio.

I tried listening to talk radio once.

What he's trying to tell you is, anytime you show something he worships with an unhealthy obsession in a bad light, he's going to attack your source instead of dealing with reality.

I gave up conservative talk radio a long time ago. Seems others did too. Looks like the Patriot, the home of Rush, is in the tank. Glad because I can't stand Jason Lewis.

I'm still a conservative but I stopped drinking the right-wing talk kool-aid several years ago. Laura Ingram, Hannity, Savage, Rush.. they can all cram it.

I stick to KFAN these days.

No WHMH no care. St. Cloud rock station is the best hands down. The old morning show was way the fuck better though.

93X > all.
