Surprised that WMVP is way down on the list. Nobody likes ESPN or what?

Also suprised WGN is so high, higher than the Score and shit. Who the hell listens to that boring programming?

Also surprised the Drive is so high. I guess the suburbs really are a classic rock town.

So ch runs the Whistler account?

I know Bernstein & McKNight and McNeil & Parkins have not consistently been in the Top 10 in their time slots, but hadn't Mulligan and Hanley/Haugh had been in the Top 10 pretty consistently for years?

My first thought - I coulda swore it was HY.

No Score shows registered in any top 10. July must be quaking in her boots.

Not a mult.

February is sport doldrums and Feder’s ratings are not specific to their demographic.

I don't know what compelled Whistler to do a Feder post. Maybe he didn't have thoughts involving MAGA hats and poop for once.

Anyway, as for the Score falling out of top ten in mornings, well, it was the Sports Dead Zone with two bad winter teams then and now it's the Sports Quarantine Zone with no teams at all, so it's gonna get worse for them before it gets better, pace Mitch Rosen's Duff Zero remarks about how listeners will flock to the Score for the pure companionship of Connor McKnight. As mentioned, Feder's public numbers are the rawest of the raw, no demo breakdowns, so for a really sports-intensive morning show to be top ten overall as consistently as they were was really an achievement.

Going forward, I'd expect WLS-FM, Me-TV FM, and the Drive to be the biggest beneficiaries of the pandemic, provided it doesn't drive their respective parent companies into bankruptcy: it's auditory comfort food at a time like this. World's collapsing around us, all I wanna do is listen to "Don't Stop Believin'" in hopes that I, too, can stave off the cessation of believin'.

Only XRT guy in the top ten is Lin Brehmer after regularly being the only one out. Guess middays are a win-win for him.

The other potential fallout is less people in cars = lower ratings across the board.

I will ask again. Who on earth listens to live radio ESPECIALLY A.M. radio these days?
