Mike's analysis:
First off, the extracted April numbers must have been great for KTRS because the paste-eating moron who does 12N-3PM was actually talking about them on the air! This is a no-no. Presumably Mr. Law had a prayer meeting with Mr. Kramer and that will not be happening again.KTRS' one-point bump 12+ will probably translate out as the book progresses to a Top 5 ranking. Non-baseball dayparts are on their own.
KMOX is off almost 2.5 points year-to-year and trending down marginally 12+ from the Winter Book but doing better 25-54. What's baseball's target audience?
The Arch is doing much better long-term than I expected, but with the support of an all-out media marketing campaign; the same level of marketing for The River's morning show is augering in and the station continues to lose ground overall. KLOU's up for no apparent reason except that current music sucks in all formats and the sixties are better than nothing. KATZ-FM's trending up 12+ almost a point and even better in demo. KEZK slips from 5th to 8th 25-54.
Hey, it's only a trend...
