L-A Ratings: KBIG Is #1, But It's Tight At the Top

If you want to talk ratings compression, just look to L-A's PPMs for August released Monday by Nielsen. Just .2 of a share separates from #4 from #1 (6+ AQH Total Week), with just one station reaching a 5.0 share.

iHeartMedia's HotAC KBIG 104.3 FM takes the top honors despite losing share 5.2—5.0. Two are tied for #2, iHM's Top40 KIIS 102.7 FM was steady at 4.9 and CBS Radio's Classic Hits KRTH 101.1 FM 5.0-4.9.

iHM's AC KOST 103.5 FM dropped 5.5—4.8 to take the #4 spot and CBS Radio's UrbanAC KTWV 94.7 FM continued a strong performance, jumping 3.7—4.1 and fifth place honors.
