WIVK No. 1 For 104 Straight Books
Issue 24
Music Edition
WIVK No. 1 For 104 Straight Books;
Women Love KBEQ Last week’s ratings wrap contained the amazing news
that WXBQ/Johnson City-Kingsport-Bristol, TN-VA
marked 49 consecutive No. 1 books (12+) with its fall
2006 win and WUSY/Chattanooga notched an incredible
67th consecutive No. 1 with its fall victory. With all our
historical data locked in another computer somewhere, we
wondered where that left WIVK/Knoxville.
To our rescue came KSCS & KTYS/Dallas APD/MD
Chris Huff, a man with the distinction of having worked
at both WUSY and WIVK. Huff gave Country Aircheck
the ratings lowdown. “WIVK has been No. 1 12+ for 104
consecutive books dating back to April/May 1972.” he
said. “This includes simulcast numbers for WIVK-AM
before the FM went solo in 1988. The FM by itself has
been No. 1 since A/M 1979. Even more amazing, there
have only been106 Arbitron survey periods in Knoxville.
The market was first measured by Arbitron in A/M 1970
and WIVK-AM&FM were No. 1 with a 20.3. WIVK’s
Top 40 competitor, WNOX 990, won the A/M 1971 book.
And that remains the only Knoxville book ever in which
WIVK was not the No. 1 station in Knoxville.”
Kansas City Star: Kansas City’s three-way FM Country
battle has been in the forefront of the news lately. Among
the highlights: CBS Radio sold Country combo KBEQ
& KFKF to Wilks in Oct. 2006 and took control under
February 5, 2007
an LMA last November prior to the sale closing. About
a month ago, Entercom’s WDAF changed identities to
The Wolf. During that time, there have also been a lot
of airstaff changes at all three stations, including major
shifts in drive-time jocks, all of which we’ve chronicled.
But how about the fall book?
KBEQ took over the 12+ Country lead with a 4.5-4.9
move, which was good for a leap from eighth to fourth.
WDAF fell 4.8-4.7, and from a tie for fourth to fifth. KFKF
eased 4.3-4.1, but moved from a tie for tenth to ninth.
KBEQ’s story isn’t in the 12+, however. It set a
number of high-water marks Taking us beyond the
12+ numbers, KBEQ PD Mike Kennedy told Country
Aircheck, “Even in the face of a bunch of Christmas
music we did pretty good with women. While we were
fourth in Adults 25-54, we were No. 1 18-49 Women.
The morning show was No. 1 with an 11.1, the highest in
station history; middays was also No. 1 in that demo.
Among Women 25-44, mornings had a 12.5, the highest
in station history. We were No. 1 (in that demo) in
middays, too. In 25-54 Women, mornings was No. 1 with
a 10.1, also the highest number in station history. KBEQ
was No. 2 among Women 35-64.”

Page Fall No. 1s: KATC, WRNS, KTST, WCTK, KWEN, KFDI
One of the fall book’s top stories has to be that of KATC/Colorado Springs. This Citadel station debuted at the end of last June
and in just two books has rocketed to No. 1 12+. Its summer-fall move of 4.5-7.4 boosted it from eleventh to first.
Under the heading of “the rich get richer,” Three of the six No.1 finishers tacked on healthy gains to their already
market-leading numbers. WRNS/Greenville-New Bern moved up 11.5-13.1, KWEN/Tulsa increased 8.1-9.5 and KFDI/Wichita
gained 11.4-13.1. The other two No.1s posted gains, with KTST moving 6.3-6.9 and WCTK increasing 7.5-7.9.
A “+” indicates a Classic Country outlet, a “^” designates Country stations in the same market owned by a single
operator and an “*” indicates a tie.
