The trend of KNRS finishing on top continues, though they were down a bit from last month's new record.  KSL settled back to pretty much match where they were the previous two months, still doing very well.

The off months that FM 100.3 had back in Feb and March are well behind them.   They're doing great.

KODJ took a fairly big hit this month but is still doing very well.

A number of stations playing current music had sharp upticks including Now 97.9, Mix 105.1, and X96.

KSOP-FM's downward slide continues unabated.

The big surpriser was 103.1 The Wave which was relatively way up and is the highest they've ever been.  To those who listen regularly, anything big been happening there lately?  We'll see next month if that was a fluke.

The Zone stations are trending upward and starting to look pretty good when the numbers are combined, which they mostly should be as I understand it.  Is the joint operation with KSLSports starting to pay off finally?

Kool is still nowhere to be found.  Not boding well for them.  I can only hope that there really are ratings but they aren't being measured for some reason.

And finally a combined hello and WTH for KNIV which shows up (twice!) for the first time in almost 10 years.  I get the feeling they just weren't subscribing.

103.1 The Wave has been doing prize giveaways every week instead of once or twice a month. That is probably the biggest change that I can think of lately. The return of Unrest on the Seventh Day is another one, but with that being a show on late Sunday I doubt that it would have contributed too much. I can say that I'm very happy with Bob Bedore hosting Unrest on the Seventh Day.

I reset a preset on my car radio back to 103.1 because of the absence of Kool FM from a signal that my car can receive. Perhaps I am not the only one.

Anything on after PM drive is unlikely to make a significant difference. On Sunday, doubly so.

I'm thinking of what replacements I might suggest for Kool. The two obvious ones would be KODJ and The Arrow. After that I'd probably go with Bob, B98.7, FM 100.3 or maybe My 99.5 before The Wave. The Wave has a much harder edge to me than oldies have. I know there's overlap, but I'm skeptical there's that much.

I agree with you, CAwasinNJ. B98.7, Bob, KODJ, and 103.5 already were presets of mine. My initial choice to replace Kool was 96.7, Utah's Goat. But my car's radio just refuses to lock the signal when I am in SL county--and I only drive to work in Lehi about once a week. 103.1 beat out 99.5 and 100.3 as my next choice. (I have a separate set of presets for 88.3, 89.1, 90.1, 102.7, and 107.9.)
