LOS ANGELES — A synopsis of all-news stations begins our wide-ranging four-part series of September 2019 ratings recaps.
The following scoreboards reflect data from all-news properties that appear in the top 20 (6+) in September 2019, a sweep that covered August 15 – September 11.
Nielsen Audio releases audience estimates for facilities that subscribe to its services. As a result, ratings stats in this exclusive analysis are limited to stations paying that company for its data.
All but three stations listed in this format overview are Entercom-owned properties.
Non-Entercom all-news operations in this report are iHeartMedia’s WBZ-AM, Boston (also listed in Providence); WTOP-FM, Washington, DC (Hubbard Broadcasting); and KOMO, Seattle (Sinclair Broadcast Group).
