NYC Radio: Post Holiday WLTW Still Number 1 6+

WLTW Morning Duo

Everyone knew it was coming. 

The return to 'normal listening patterns' following the Christmas Holidays and sure enough CCM+E AC WLTW 106.7 LiteFM dropped 11.9-6.5. However, the station still is atop the pack.

Meanwhile, the recently sold YMF Media Urban AC WBLS 107.5 FM experiences an uptick 6.1-6.3 to remain at #2. Could a #1 6+ be in WBLS' future?

CBS Radio Classic Hits WCBS 101.1 FM rebounded 4.8—5.4 to reverse a recent down trend to remain at #3.

Winter weather appears to have helped News WCBS 880 AM move 3.8-4.9 for its best showing in a year to land in the #4 slot up from #7 in the Holiday book. Cluster-mate News WINS 1010 AM was up over a full share 3.3—4.4 and tied SBS Tropical WSKQ 97.9 FM (4.4—4.4) at #6.

In fifth place 6+, CCM+E's WHTZ 100.3 FM Z100 was down 4.7—4.6 continuing a six month down trend.
