The April 2014 radio rankings are in the books with country station KFKF still atop the heap – although slipping – and a surprise leap by classic rocker KCFX, the continued decline of News Radio KMBZ and another no-show by KCPT‘s new Triple A station The Bridge.

Ratings are listeners 12 and older, Monday thru Sunday, 6 a.m. to midnight
Speaking of The Bridge – KTBG 90.9 FM – to date it’s not even showing up yet on Nielsen Audio’s unrated, also ran list of “other stations located in the market.”
Among those ridiculously low-ranked signals are the guys at WHB’s, once upon a time talk station with Randy Miller, Hot Talk 1510 and regional Mexican station KYYS.
Anybody out there remember the latter letters?
KYYS were the call letters for legendary rock stations KY102 and 99.7 KY
Entercom parked them in Never Never Listen Land, presumably for sentimental reasons…and maybe so nobody could resurrect them competitively.
ah, good ol’ KY102. who knew entercom kept KYYS!?
When did Mike Kennedy leave Q104 and go to 94.1 KFKF? And how in the world did 610 beat 810 that badly? This list would be easier to read with the frequencies listed not just call letters. Thanks Hearne.
Good one, Kyle…
I’ll have to dock whoever wrote that photo caption a month’s pay!
No way 610 beat 810, Kyle…
WHB doesn’t subscribe to Nielsen so their ratings are not made public. Only available to subscribers, but it’s a very safe bet that even with the jump 610 took (a small one) with the Royals WHB is likely waaaaaay ahead.
No call letters were given for eight of the stations listed. As far Mike Kennedy he is still at KBEQ but apparently also oversees the other Wilks properties in KC
Jon:
I listed just the “names” for some of the either more familiar radio stations and for a couple of the more obscure where the call letters might leave some readers wondering.
I keep thinking that the morons at KMBZ are deliberately sand bagging their own station so that Entercom will give them permission to trashcan all of the conservative programming. Anyway it’s good to see that a station that glorifies sexual harrassment in the workplace and seems to be trying to grab that all important white trash niche is sinking. And, it would seem, looking at the winners, that country is the road to success in the Metro area.
its your niche dude. conservative white trash. die and they’ll kill it off.
so yeah: die.

Wake up dude…..type something coherent. You really do embarrass yourself with your posts,
As far as Lew paying more money or Jeff Wilks fattening paychecks ain’t gonna happen. PPM has shown that air talent are not what drive ratings….it’s having a format genre that attacts listeners by playing the music that appeals to the masses. There Is one exception…Johnny Dare drives the ratings bus for The Rock. .but he has been reaping those rewards for many years. Entercom dishes out bigger bucks for Johnny than even top TV talent are paid.
Go back to your hole and tell yourself how much you know. Your the only one who buys Your pile of BS.
radio dude…everything there is provable…..and if you think the
rock would be the same without dare you’re a fool.
If youthink mix 93 would be the ssame without the morning
show you’re dumber than rocks.
prove anything I have there wrong.
You’re an old worn out radio guy who just shuffles from job
to job…its obvious you’ve never really been in a position
of importance.
And if you were…you’ve forgotten whatever you once knew.
good luck with all those “senior moments”!!!!!
again…prove anything I write wrong…you can’t but youcan
attack the one person who knows all!!!!
good luck.

We knew you couldn’t write well…but now I am not sure you can even read. I said “Johnny Dare drives the ratings bus” and he has been reaping those rewards for a long, long time.
I am confused, last month I was a rookie and now I am having senior moments????
Oh, a much improved posting as far as spelling, punctuation and grammar.
I don’t give a damn about radio ratings, but can somebody plase confirm that the chick on the left side of that pic is indeed a mannequin?
