KFXX is beating KXTG in this book. Talk amongst yourselves!

Boyzk gets axed and look what happens to KUFO. Looks like heads are going to roll at CBS Radio.

"KFXX is beating KXTG in this book."

I'd say ESPN is beating KXTG in this book not KFXX.

Don't really know what hours are what but I'm guessing it's this:

-Cowherd beats the local dufus show. KFXX

-Rome beats Cowherd/Tirico/Van Pelt KXTG

-Canzano/Blazers/Wheels beats Issuk and Big Suck KXTG

-ESPN Radio beats any Fox Sports Radio programming.. KFXX

Looks like an extremely dismal showing for KUFO and The Buzz. Hopefully they did well in some demo that won't be released to the general public.

It's interesting that the 2 stations CBS is dropping have better numbers than KUFO. I know it's only 12+ but still...

It appears that 1520AM did not make the ratings. I believe this to be the first time that has ever happened!

I wondered why the other Spanish stations didn't make this list. Then I noted the disclaimer at the top: Arbitron didn't release the ratings of stations that don't subscribe to its service. It is possible that Bustos isn't subscribed.

Smoochie: In Winter 2008, KGDD did not rate.

Also interesting to note, KPAM listed on Bob's post of ratings (above) was not listed on the R&R ratings report website. A typo? I don't think so. There are other stations that rated and are not listed. I will honor this and not post them.

Unless things improve, Nelson & Terry could be done at 105.1 The Buzz.

Sorry Craig, short term memory. It looks like a bad(wrong)book for The Buzz. I doubt if they'll change anything yet; they just brought in Stacey Lynn.

Bob you forgot La X

KXPD-AM Churchill Communications Regional Mexican 0.4 0.0 0.5 0.6 0.5

The Buzz and KUFO have consistantly strong books. Just because they had one poor book does not mean they are flipping formats.
In my opinion, I think the music on KUFO is awesome, this is the best the station has ever sounded(Musically) Chris Paddik has done an awesome job with the music and the variety of rock on kufo.

The Buzz is sounding much better too! The Nelson and Terry show has improved a lot over the last few weeks. It is a much more entertaining and sounds a LOT better than it did a year ago.
While i'm not a big fan of the music on the Buzz, the morning show sounds great.

> In Winter 2008, KGDD did not rate.

Ouch! I wonder whether 1520 will still be "La Grande" by year's end? Will Bustos be operating any Portland stations, at all?

KINK had a strong showing. Its XL was probably the reason why. KQOL had only 1.5. I guess people don't like stations that copy each other. 105.9 did better with smooth jazz.

You're looking at the left side instead of the right side of the chart.

What were the 25-54 numbers?

Wayne says >>>KINK had a strong showing. Its XL was probably the reason why. KQOL had only 1.5. I guess people don't like stations that copy each other. 105.9 did better with smooth jazz.<<

As pointed out by Semoochie KINK's 12+ went down 0.6 points Summer to Fall and.....

their XL stunt went from mid Nov to end Dec so any effect would not show up in the Fall book.

Also, KQOL had a 2.5 in the fall book. Their best showing yet.

Mid-November to end December is one-half of the Fall book "arby" boy.

How irrelevant is the nba if the blazers on fm can't beat an am sports station

Let's see the money demo... Males 25-54! I would like to see how Canzano fairs against Isuck and Big Puke.

In my response to "Let's see the money demo... Males 25-54! I would like to see how Canzano fairs against Isuck and Big Puke."

Bla bla bla bla, bla bla, bla bla bla

Congrats to 1080 The Fan! Sports/Talk should stay on AM, since FM is for music.

Men 25-54, M-F 3-7P, KFXX is 4th, KXTG is 8th.

Thanks Kent!
