K-105, WKBN dominate spring book

K-105 is tops again in the Mahoning Valley. The country powerhouse has a very slight edge over news talk WKBN 570 in the Spring book. Not too much regarding the rock wars as Y-103 is still strong in 3rd while 93.3 “The Wolf” still holds down 8th place and Real Rock 104 is a dud. There isn’t really anything surprising about the Top 40 battle as Hot 101 takes 4th while 95.9 Kiss FM hangs on to 10th. A far cry from Spring of ’06 when Kiss led Hot. Let’s not forget 102 Jamz getting a younger sound towards more hip hop, could factor in Kiss’s drop. Big 106 is also holding it’s place in 5th and overtakes sister station Mix 98.9. 1390 WNIO drops slightly to 9th but is just above sister station, Kiss FM. Other notables include WSOM 600. The station would be a good fit to flip from nostalgia to 50’s & 60’s oldies or Scott Shannon’s “True Oldies Channel” service. Froggy 95 pretty much focuses on the Pennsylvania side of the border. They could have a bigger impact on Youngstown by dropping the “Froggy” moniker & going younger than K-105. Maybe “Coyote 95” since “The Wolf” is already taken. Thoughts? Feel free to drop us a line here.
