MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL MARKET COMPARISON: 2014 & 2000



I’ve been saving ratings data for over thirty years.  Below are two charts of noncommercial stations in Minneapolis/St. Paul – the most recent Nielsen Audio report from 2014 and an Arbitron report from 2000.

NOTE: These two charts represent different methodologies and can NOT be compared statistically.

Here are big picture trends:

KEN’S ANALYSIS:

• KMOJ and KTIS-FM have shown remarkable audience growth since 2000.  KMOJ’s weekly listening roughly tripled – congratulations to Kevin Quarles and everyone at ‘MOJ. Weekly listening to KTIS-FM almost doubled in 14 years, similar to other some other CCM stations nationally.

• KNOW also showed growth in listening.  KBEM stayed about the same.  Listening to KSJN declined at around the same rate as other classical stations.

• KCMP – The Current – far out-performs its predecessor WCAL.  I can’t recall if WCAL had switched to all-classical in 2000.
