Click here for the full chart. WBBM-AM remains on top, while WLUP surged and WVAZ had a good showing, despite the departure of Tom Joyner. He did however, help WSRB to a 33 percent increase month-to-month.
After a strong showing, Power 92 regressed in May, with the biggest drop (35 percent) of any station in the survey - putting it even farther behind its rival (WGCI-FM), who remained flat. Sorry Power, it's off to the loser's circle for this performance. Meanwhile, B96 has fallen further behind its Top 40 rival (WKSC-FM.)
The alarm bells should be sounding off at both WLS-AM and The Drive, but both still performed well enough to stay in the top ten.
WNUA finished its run as a Smooth Jazz outlet with a 13 percent drop. On May 22, it flipped to a Spanish Pop format.
