[ superseding my earlier erroneous post... ]

I just heard Franken talking about the latest Arbitrends a little while
ago. If I heard him right, he said that WLIB got a bigger share than WABC
in both the 18-24 and 25-54 demos during the midday daypart.

This would mean that Franken, on the puny WLIB, beat Rush, on the
powerhouse WABC, in two desirable demographics.

Does anyone have the details? I can't find any press confirmation or
refutation anywhere I have looked.

Thanks.

Al Franken said: WABC 3.2, WLIB 3.4 for his show in that group.
(That part includes the two hours preceeding Rush/Franken.)

Someone else has claimed that the latest "three-month rolling trend"
numbers for the mid-day 25-54 was: WABC 2.5-2.2-2.6 WLIB 1.0-1.5-2.2.
(Can anyone confirm those?)

In the New York Metro daypart, the Arbitron Winter 04 quarter has WABC
with a 3.7 and WLIB with a 1,3 share. WLIB ranked 24th in the 38
stations while WABC was tied for 7th place. The Spring 04 "P1" numbers
released on May 21 are similar: WABC 3.9, WOR 2.1, and WLIB 1.4.

In other news...On her show last Friday, Randi Rhodes announced that
she was quitting Air America, but apparently she was joking (or, at
least, not yet). Meanwhile, Real Networks wants to partner with the
Drobnys to acquire or invest in the network: they want to raise $8M
to pay off debts (eg. payrolls of terminated employees) and fund
ongoing operations. Air America (David Goodfriend) says that the
network will be announcing new affiliates in Los Angeles and Chicago.

The extrapolated discreet month of April in 25-54 from 10 AM to 3 PM shows a
3.1 for WABC and 3.4 for WLIB.

What are the Air America numbers in other markets?

Portland, OR, and Minneapolis, the next biggest markets, are not out yet.
The daytimer in Riverside did not show in the ratings, nor did Santa Cruz.
Several of the stations are in non-continuous measured markets and will not
see ratings till July if they are rated.

The Santa Cruz station, to the best of my knowledge, is still not on
the air yet. It certainly wasn't when the most recent numbers were
being gathered.

Then there's the couple of weeks they were on in Chicago and Los
Angeles...

KBLA did not show in the LA book; WNTD had a 0.6 share.
