UTICA-ROME –After steady decline over the past few ratings periods, country flamethrower Big Frog 104 (WFRG) has fallen out of the top spot in the Mohawk Valley. The latest topline ratings from Nielsen show Townsquare sister station Lite 98.7 (WLZW) — despite also losing some audience — has risen to the top of the survey.
SYRACUSE — For the first time in years, we’ve got no idea whether the “top 40 leader” in Syracuse is iHeart’s Hot 107.9 (WWHT) or Cumulus’ 93Q (WNTQ). The latest topline ratings data from Nielsen doesn’t include data for 93Q or any other Cumulus stations.
