Link: May PPM Nielsen Results
on June 17, 2025, 1:55 pm
WLIT-FM 5.7 to 5.4
WRME-LD 2.4 to 3.0
WDRV-FM 97.1 has a lock on the classic rock format in Chicago. Two months at a 5.3 rating.
WXRT-FM 93.1 up from 4.2 to 4.4.
WBBM-AM steady at 4.8 which is a huge drop from two months ago when they held a 6.1.
WKSC-FM 103.5 drops to 2.9. This station continues to drop over the last four surveys. A bad crop of music? A loss of interest in radio in general and or FM music in the CHR format?
WBBM-FM 96.3 does not appear to have any real traction. They just hired a new afternoon host.
1.8 to 2.0.
WCHI-FM 95.5 drops to 2.0 from 2.2. It's only a matter of time until iHeart blows up this failing format and replaces it. Clearly, Chicago does not agree with their slogan, "Chicago's Rock Station." What may have been keeping them going is selling the iHeart stations cluster to ad buyers.
Slightly off topic. When it comes to independent TV stations, buying reruns of a HOT show usually meant being forced to buy reruns of a companion show which was not as popular. It was a package deal. Today, you have many cable networks who program TV series from the 1960s up through the 1990s. This includes Netflix, Amazon, TBS, etc.
WUSN-FM 99.5 with their country format has really taken off with 4.3 to 4.6.
Summer is here and some PPM devices are on vacation with the people they're assigned to.
