Chicago Radio: All-News WBBM Is #1 With An Asterisk

CBS Radio's simulcast of News WBBM 780 AM and WCFS 105.9 FM maintained their #1 showing (6+ AQH Total Week) in the July PPMs released Monday by Nielsen. The simulcast edged upward 6.7—6.9 for the win. However, it must be noted the stations split for White Sox MLB. (The News remain on FM).

Without the simulcast, iHeart Media's UrbanAC WVAZ 102.7 FM V103 is the market leader despite losing share 6.5—5.8. Hubbard's HotAC WTMX 101.9 FM was steady at 5.0 for #2, followed by WBBM-AM only 4.6—4.7 to place at #3.

CBS Radio's WJMK 104.3 FM had its best showing ever. The year has been good for KHits. The station cracked the Top 10 in March and now places at #4 nudging 4.0—4.1. Classic Hits rival, WLS 94.7 FM has been trending downward since February 2015 when it was #7. The station is now in the # 12 slot.

iHM's Top40 WKSC 103.5 FM remains at #5 after losing some 4.1—3.9.
