Who said AM music radio does not rate?
2UE's rating of 4.5 rivalling 2DAY's rating of 4.6.
Yet 3MP and Magic 1278 for a similar music to 2UE's format rate 1.2 and 1.0 respectively.
Seems that one cannot assume that capital city markets behave the same.
Time will tell whether 4BH's ratings will rival the former 4KQ despite almost doubling (ok 2*4.6 = 9.2) from 4.6 to 8.6.
Thank you,
