OCTOBER PPM: NICE LISTENING GAINS AT WBUR, WGBH, KPCC & KUNC


Recently it seems like every time we publish new Nielsen Audio ratings data, radio listening continues its slow deflation. Not this month. The estimated number of weekly cumulative listeners in October versus September rose significantly at several key noncom stations.  In Boston, both WBUR and WGBH gained in weekly listeners as did KPCC in Los Angeles. KCRW also had a nice growth in weekly listeners.
Today we have just released Nielsen Audio PPM data for Boston, Denver, Minneapolis, Los Angeles and Seattle. The biggest one month changes are highlighted in yellow. Scroll down to see the topline ratings.
Note that KUNC in Denver looks like it is kicking into gear.  They also have lots of listeners just north of Denver.
In the Twin Cities 89.3 The Current remains strong. Commercial Triple A Go 96.3 is seeing a decline in listening as the Minnesota Twins season ends.
