http://ltradio.blogspot.com/2004/10/summer-ratings-wlib-slowly-on-rise.htmlIn New York, Air America affiliate WLIB rose slightly in the summer Arbitron ratings (ages 12+). Not a significant jump, but the station does show up in three other neighboring markets. In the Long Island market (#18), the station clears a whole share, doubling its spring rating. The station shows up for the first time ever in the Middlesex-Somerset-Union, NJ (#36) market, though not very high, and in Westchester (#60), the station is doing very well, climbing and almost tied with talker WOR. All in all, not a bad book for the NYC area. Ratings are on the rise.
Ratings books were also released for Los Angeles and Chicago. Unfortunately, there are currently no commercial liberal talkers. Yet.
And, according to Drudge, Howard Stern is by far the #1 show in mornings in NYC.
