O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00	Hot-97 Returns to the Top By DAVID HINCKLEY Daily News Feature Writer City radio was rearranged in the winter Arbitron survey released Friday. Howard Stern was not No. 1 in the morning for the first time since 1994, edged out by WINS, while WLTW was not overall No. 1 for the first time since 1998. Howard Stern slipped from first place WQHT, very steady and solid of late, rode a surging morning show and a wave of attention for hip-hop to the top spot. WLTW's share actually went up, and Lite still leads the city in advertiser-coveted 25- to 54-year-old listeners. Other notable results: Opie and Anthony of WNEW fell from 5.2% to 3.7% as WNEW dropped 25% overall. WRKS and its morning show took a big dive. WOR's Ed Walsh morning show opened a bigger lead on WABC's Curtis and Kuby as WABC dropped about 20% from its election- and Yankee-fueled fall share. Country WYNY and the Jim Kerr morning show jumped 33%, while WQCD and WQXR both took big leaps. WTJM has almost caught WCBS-FM in the crucial 25-54 category, and here's one worth watching: The WSKQ morning show is only a tick behind both Stern and WINS. These numbers are the percentage of total listeners in an average quarter hour. Overall Ratings F.M.: WQHT (6.0), WLTW (5.7), WSKQ & WHTZ (4.4), WCBS-FM (4.0), WKTU (3.9), WINS (3.7), WQCD (3.6), WXRK (3.3), WBLS (3.1), WQXR & WRKS (3.0), WABC (2.9), WOR (2.8), WPAT, WTJM & WCBS-AM (2.7), WFAN & WAXQ (2.5), WPLJ (2.3), WCAA (1.9), WADO & WNEW (1.5), WYNY (1.2), WFME & WLIB (1.0). A.M.: WINS (6.6), WXRK (6.5), WSKQ (6.4), WQHT (5.1), WLTW (4.3), WCBS-AM & WHTZ (4.2), WCBS-FM (3.6), WOR (3.5), WFAN (3.1), WKTU (2.9), WBLS (2.8), WPLJ (2.6), WRKS (2.5), WQCD (2.4), WABC (2.3), WADO & WQXR (2.1), WAXQ (1.9), WPAT-FM & WTJM (1.8). P.M.: WQHT (6.9), WLTW (6.0), WHTZ (5.1), WKTU (4.4), WQCD & WCBS-FM (3.9), WNEW (3.7), WABC (3.6), WSKQ (3.2), WQXR (3.1), WTJM & WFAN (3.0), WOR (2.9), WRKS & WAXQ (2.8). 25 TO 54: WLTW (6.5), WSKQ (5.3), WKTU (4.6), WQCD (4.2), WCBS-FM (4.0), WTJM & WXRK (3.9), WQHT & WAXQ (3.8), WRKS (3.7), WBLS (3.4), WPLK & WHTZ (3.3). 18 TO 34: WQHT (12.8), WHTZ (7.5), WKTU (7.3), WXRK (6.8), WSKQ (6.0), WLTW (5.5), WBLS (4.8), WPLJ (4.3) WPAT (3.4), WRKS (3.2).

O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00	WINS RADIO BAD 'NEWS' FOR STERN By JOHN MAINELLI (NYPOST) SOURED ON HOWARD: Shock jock Howard Stern's radio ratings are down 14 percent. Listeners "are not terribly stimulated by his preoccupation with interviewing dumb girls and losers," one industry observer says. - Reuters April 21, 2001 -- "King of All Media" Howard Stern forfeited his wake-up radio crown for the first time in seven years. Stern, whose K-Rock (92.3 FM) fan base started to diminish early last year, was topped by all-news station WINS (1010 AM) - the first time that's happened since spring 1994. "The reason Stern is losing audience is because he is afraid to grow with the people who have been listening to him all these years," said Michael Harrison, publisher of Talkers magazine. Ratings for radio's baddest boy dropped 14 percent from fall to winter. Stern's total audience share dropped by more than one-fourth - from 8.7 percent to 6.5 percent - from a year ago, according to Arbitron quarterly ratings. Stern's listeners "are not terribly stimulated by his preoccupation with interviewing dumb girls and losers," said Harrison. "You cannot expect the new crop of young people to respond to Stern the way the older crowd did 15 years ago." "Maybe as the bar gets raised he's become less shocking," said one-time WPLJ programmer Larry Berger. Stern's employer, CBS/Infinity - which also operates WINS - says Stern still rules where it counts. "The show continued to lead in all key demographics that advertisers covet," a company spokesman said, referring to the 18-to-34 and 25-to-54 age groups that Stern still dominates. Stern couldn't be reached yesterday. The ratings were revealed too late in the morning to become a topic on his radio show. Some industry observers speculated that this winter's severe weather might have helped all-news WINS topple Stern. But a Post check of WINS' ratings history showed the station's audience basically flat in recent years - and even higher last summer - while Stern has inched downward. The ratings had shocks for other stations, too. Longtime top dog Lite-FM (106.7) was bumped out of first place by urban/Top 40 Hot 97 (97.1 FM), although it's still dominant among 25-54 adults. Talk station WABC (770 AM) lost the election in more ways than one, being voted down from seventh to 13th place without the ratings boost it got from last fall's presidential squeaker. "We had a lot going for us in the fall that made it pretty hard to hold onto," said programmer Phil Boyce. "We're still the No. 1 talk station in the nation." All-talk upstart WNEW-FM (102.7), which did not enjoy a boost from the elections, dropped anyway - shedding a quarter of its audience to finish in 23rd place. WNEW's fast-rising Opie & Anthony retreated in the afternoons, backing off from third to seventh place in total audience - but the rowdy duo remains tops with men and second with adults, 25-54. "We're still No. 1 in all the demos we were hired to be No. 1 in," said Opie. "Men love us." The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his. George S. Patton, General (1885-1945)
