Feder: WBBM news radio sweeps Chicago radio ratings
Posted July 07, 2020 1:00 am
It was a rare clean sweep for Chicago's all-news radio station in the latest Nielsen Audio survey.
Audience estimates released Tuesday showed the Entercom combo of WBBM 780-AM/WCFS 105.9-FM finishing first overall for the fifth consecutive month and winning all four weekday time periods - mornings, middays, afternoons and evenings.
Close behind but still second was Hubbard Radio classic rock WDRV 97.1-FM.
The dearth of sports attributed to the coronavirus pandemic continued to take a toll on Chicago's sports/talk stations - Entercom WSCR 670-AM and Good Karma Brands WMVP 1000-AM - both of which declined.
