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 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.” Christensen Back For Universal South Promotion veteran Rhonda Christensen is returning to the record biz after an almost two year absence, starting in two weeks as Universal South’s West Coast ISSUE 24 MUSIC EDITION FEBRUARY 5, 2007

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.
