NOT RANKEDWMAX "ESPN 96.1" Sports WFUR 102.9/1570 Christian Music/Talk *Don't get me wrong, but I think Alexa.com is just like Arbitron in a sense, especially when it comes to rankings. Maybe sometimes, it forgets about a website and doesn't measure it properly. Who knows? Just ask WSNX. *Once again, GRD and WOOD hog the top spots with B93 inching up to #2. I'll betcha that WHTC has quite a cult following, especially since that little 1KW peashooter has a bigger internet following than any station in northern Michgian. They do stream live, and they have a daily "Trading Post" show which airs daily 11:30 a.m. to noon (paging Richard and Sal). *Bear in mind that this list was compiled long after the holidays. Faintly, Star 105.7 and The River traded places. *It amazes me that Arbitron says that unranked WMAX ESPN 96.1 has better ratings than WBBL, but Alexa says otherwise regarding their websites. Maybe people would rather look at "Huge" Bill Simonson than to hear him. *101.3 The Fox rebounded, but they're still GRD's bitch. *WOOD is still doing well with its FM/AM simulcast, but sister WTKG tumbled a bit. Sadlym I doubt if Brian Kilmeade will be that station's savior. *Speaking of saviors, where's WFUR? Then again, judging by their website, no wonder why nobody listens to that station. They're lucky that WCSG wasn't on the list since it's a non-comm (they would be 10th place if they were playing commercials). Tomorrow, we'll look at Detroit.
