ALL ACCESS presents an exclusive recap and analysis of the SEPTEMBER HOUSTON PPM results, provided by RADIOCRUNCH President ANTHONY ACAMPORA.
CUMULUS Top 40 KRBE extended its lead among listeners 6+ in SEPTEMBER, according to the latest PPM results from ARBITRON. RADIO ONE shows had strong months for Urban AC KMJQ and Urban KBXX (they both posted 0.5 gains 25-54 in addition to good 6+ and 18-34 growth). UNIVISION Regional Mexican KLTN had a huge SEPTEMBER in adults 18-34, where it soared over two shares and is now in double digits. It also climbed from #6 to #3 25-54. ... CLEAR CHANNEL Classic Rock KKRW and sister Alternative KTBZ continue to hold the top two spots. HOUSTON also had one less Rock station in most of SEPTEMBER, as CUMULUS flipped Rock KIOL to Adult Hits KHJK (Jack-FM). KHJK held KIOL's old share. This will be interesting to watch as early PPM results show a quicker response to format changes than with the diary ... CLEAR CHANNEL has also seen some slight upper-end growth for Spanish Contemporary KLOL (Mega 101), which has evolved from Latin Urban over the last few months. Here are the ratings for the market 6+, as well as the top-15 stations among adults 18-34 and 25-54 ... KLOL and KHJK have already made format adjustments/changes since the debut of the PPM in HOUSTON. The current results appear to show some other opportunities. Will we see more shifts in the coming months?
