OCTOBER NIELSEN AUDIO PPM
RATINGS
In
Baltimore, NPR News/Talk WYPR keeps getting stronger. Each month since August WYPR has added new
estimated weekly listeners and increased its AQH share.
Perhaps WYPR’s success
is effecting listening to DC’s WAMU.
WUNC
“owns” the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill market. It remains the top radio news
source drawing more listening and weekly listeners than heritage commercial
news/talk stations.
Its too bad WUNC doesn't have an FM translator for their HD2 channel.
In Providence, Boston’s WGBH leads hometown WELH a/k/a The Public’s Radio, formerly known as Rhode Island Public Radio, in both AQH share and estimated weekly
listeners.
WGBH’s recent surge in the Boston PPM ratings seems to be repeating
itself in Providence.
