July ratings out

[CAwasinNJ]

(The Arbitron definition of July is June 21 - July 18.)

The Zone's ratings are showing as pretty much non-existent for the FM side and pretty small for the AM side, though I'm not sure it's being reported correctly. That doesn't seem quite right to me, but only those with access to the real data would know.

I'm going to be very interested in the August numbers, which started right after KLO added 103.1FM. No significant change in either KLO 1430's numbers or the final numbers for Jack.

ZHT beat KSL again this month. My 99.5 even tied KSL. What really matters is the billing, but still that's got to hurt Bonneville.

Anyone seeing anything else they'd like to note?

Obviously noting that these are the Persons 6+ numbers, I find it interesting that Cumulus/Citadel continues to slide.

KUBL, once a regular in the top 3, now is completely out of the top 5 and barely making it into the top 10.

KBEE bounces around a bit, but may be on the verge of a growth spurt with Craig as PD.

KBER and Z-Rock continue to be stuck in the middle, most of the time running neck and neck with each other.

And the KENZ, continues in the 1 share category, which I remain a bit surprised about (not the actual ratings part) but the fact that Cumulus hasn't done anything about it. One would assume changes would have taken place there while ago. Soon maybe? It doesn't make sense to keep it going as is.

NOW has got to feel pretty good with their performance, nipping at the heals of FM 100.

KENZ hasn't been doing very well for years. They did have a rebound after The End returned at the end of 2010 but even that was a mediocre success at best and they've slipped since then. It's only a matter of time before something is done there, but when and what has remained a mystery.
