April PPM Analysis For Philadelphia Market

 

WBEB (MORE) was a dominant #1 for the second straight book
despite posting its lowest number of the year (8.6-8.0)

Less Is Still MORE

They may change the name but the location remained the same. WEAZ-FM RADIO AC WBEB (MORE) was a dominant #1 for the second straight book despite posting its lowest number of the year (8.6-8.0). It had a new #2 to contend with as BEASLEY Country WXTU rose two spots thanks to its best book in over a year (5.7-6.1). This caused CBS RADIO Classic Hits WOGL to take one small step back to #3 (6.3-5.9). GREATER MEDIA Active Rock WMMR moved up a space to #4 thanks to a slight increase (5.5-5.6) while its slightly older and less tattooed cluster brother GREATER MEDIA Classic Rock WMGK used its flat book to break into the top five (5.2-5.2). The news was far less engaging last month as CBS RADIO News KYW-A reported its lowest number in over a year (6.0-4.5) as the station dropped four spots to #7. Hope springs eternal for PHILLIES fans as their unfounded optimism helped CBS RADIO Sports WIP-F end a three-book slide (3.6-4.2) as it moved from a tie at #11 into a tie at #8.


WMMR’s on again/off again love affair with the #1 25-54 position was on again as the station was up enough to edge out WBEB, which ended a two-book surge. This back and forth could go on for a while. WXTU was flat but remained firmly entrenched at #3. WMGK was up slightly to gain a square to #4 while CCM+E Alternative WRFF (RADIO 104.5) returned to the top five with a slight increase in share. WOGL popped its lowest share since DECEMBER and fell from #4 into a tie at #6.

Things changed rather abruptly 18-34 thanks to CCM+E Urban WUSL (POWER). The station made a two-spot jump to #1 with its best book since JULY. WXTU had a pretty healthy increase, as well, but fell back to #2 by the smallest of margins. WBEB remained a little farther off the pace as it dropped to #3 while WRFF remained at #4 even though it shed some share. WMMR has lost almost two full shares in this demo over the last two books and slid from a tie at #4 to #5.

Once again, WXTU posted its best 18-49 book in over a year. However, this time it allowed the station to move forward two paces to #1. WBEB had its lowest number since its pre-SANTA days and fell back into a tie at #2 with WMMR, which was down for the third straight survey. WUSL had its biggest book since JULY to remain at #4 while WRFF held fast at #5 with a slight increase. CCM+E Top 40/M WIOQ (Q102) dropped one spot to #6 despite a slight increase in share.

Grammy Award Winning R&B Producer to Protest Power 99 FM

Philadelphia area, and Grammy Award winning producer, Carvin Haggins, is calling on all entertainers, elected officials, and concerned citizens to stand with him as he launches a protest in front of Clear Channel's station,WUSL Power 99 FM.

He is bringing up an old issue. Lyrical content. This is nothing new per se. It was back in the early 1990s when C. Delores Tucker launched a campaign against Death Row Records, and the cause de jour was the use of the word "Bitches". That seems tame by today's standards. What is different now, are the risque, sexually degrading, and overtly violent lyrics against women which are no longer relegated to listening in the privacy of one's home. They are going over the "free" air waves in major rotation, listened to, and considered the norm, especially by young impressionable (mostly African American) children, all in the name of sales. "You wouldn't hear this on Clear Channel's pop stations, said Haggins in his riveting video that blasts entertainers such as Beyonce. "so why is it allowed on the urban stations?" he continued.

Editorial note: BACKLINE MAGAZINE agrees with Haggins, and the 1st Amendment be damned. Music that glorifies and promotes everything from oral sex to date rape to murder are heard by our children all day...every day, and have no place on the "free" air waves or in a healthy society.

If you agree, and are in the Philadelphia area, join Carvin Saturday, June 7 at 11:00 A.M. in front of Clear Channel's WUSL Power 99 FM station, 111 Presidential Blvd., Bala Cynwd, PA. BACKLINE MAGAZINE will be there in support.

In the mean time, watch Haggins' video then make up your own mind.
