So then Air America won the
12-and-under demo?


See http://www.crainsny.com/news.cms?newsId=8414.


http://www.nyradioguide.com/index.shtml suggests they're not doing so
hot: "Ill-fated WNEW-FM (102.7) again fared poorly, earning only a 1.5
share, while the Air America format on WLIB (1190 AM) remained flat at
1.3."

Other newsgroup articles have said that AA is beating Limbaugh, as judged
by WLIB having had higher ratings than WABC. The July 16 ratings have WABC
tied for 7th place with 3.7, while WLIB is in 24th place. The article you
cite admits Limbaugh's station is doing better.

Some preliminary numbers from a few weeks ago seemed to show WLIB
doing better in some demographics. The full report showed that not to
be the case. In fact, Limbaugh's ratings are up and WLIB's are near
what they were before AA came on the air.
