It's beginning to look a lot like a trend!
In the first-round of September Nielsen PPMs released Monday, CBS’s WCBS-FM widens its lead over “Lite” WLTW (6+ AQH Share) to retain #1 boasting rights.
Classic Hits WCBS 101.FM FM wobbled a smidgen 6-9—6.8, but increased its lead over iHeartMedia's AC WLTW 106.7 FM which dropped 6.1—5.7. That's the third down month for Lite, which remains #2.
After that, the remainder of the Top5 remains the same as August. EMMIS UrbanAC WBLS 105.7 FM dropped a bit 5.5—5.3 to remain at #3 with SBS Tropical WSKQ 97.9 FM MEGA at #4 with a 5.2—5.1 September. iHeartMedia's Top 40 WHTZ 100.3 FM Z100 finished #5 with 5.0--4.8 showing.
