DaveBayArea said:What is so drastically different about this market vs. Salinas/Monterey, where KPIG has a marginal signal yet consistently pulls around a 3-share, typically #2 for english-speaking stations? I hear it's way better in the "desirable" demos.
If you mean 25-54, in the winter book the station was 15th, and 9th in 12+.
It does, however, rank higher in billing although that's a relative thing since the top biller in that market does less than 10% of the billing of any of the top 3 or 4 SF stations.
Monterey Salinas Santa Cruz is market 80, but ranks 121st in billing, typical for a shadow market near a much larger one.
