Q997 is on fire! Does anyone have the breakdown of ratings by daypart? I'm very curious how much of their success is primarily from The Bert Show or music playlists. Because musically, Q997 sounds somewhat more rhythmic than Power. Especially with a full hour mixshow during the middays. I find it strange now that whenever Power tried daily mixshows and a slightly more rhythmic playlist, their ratings would plummet. But now Q997 does this and they're now higher than any Atlanta CHR has been in MANY years.
Don't the folks at Power listen to the competition? Maybe power should add more mixshows during the week again and try a slightly more rhythmic playlist. If not, then why? One example is the current EDM song, "Do It To It" by ACRAZE. Throughout the whole month of January (this ratings book), Q997 had that song in very heavy rotation (90+ spins per week). Power plays it, maybe 30 times per week.
Then, Adele's "Easy On Me". Q997 plays an upbeat remix of that song. But Power continues to play the original AC version. Yet, Q997 still beats Power by a wide margin and drew a 6.1 share. So what's really going on over at iHeart? Musically the two stations have flip-flopped. Or is it that Atlanta listeners finally want more electronic party music on their radios? Very strange if you ask me.
