New PD Brian Thomas says NashFM is doing better with the younger audiences it can sell to advertisers.

“We’re up to 2.8% in the afternoon,” he tell David Hinckley at the NY Daily News. “That puts us close to the top 10.”

Equally important, he says the total audience who listen at some point in an average week has finally cracked the million mark.   “We can double that number,” he says. “I really believe that.”

Also worthy to note: Talkers WOR and WABC were both off.  WABC 2.2--1.6, WOR 1.7--1.6 are tied. It the first time in quite some time that WABC slipped under the 2.0 threshold.
