10 September 1, 2008 SAN FERNANDO VALLEY BUSINESS JOURNAL VALLEY-BASED RADIO STATIONS THE LIST Ranked by Arbitron Rating MARKET SHARE BY COMPANY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY HIS inaugural list of radio stations is split into two sections. The first includes all stations that Gold Coast (9%) Other (26%) broadcast from the Valley. Those with an Arbitron rating above 0.4% are ranked with the Emmis (9%) Tremainder listed alphabetically. The second section identifies the top 10 Arbitron-rated stations in the greater area. According to Arbitron’s website, radio stations are ranked by the “Average Quarter-Hour Per - sons (AQH Persons)” system; in other words, the average number of persons listening to a particular Salem station for at least five minutes during a 15-minute period. Market share is determined as a percent - (13%) age of those listening to radio in the Los Angeles metropolitan area who tune into a particular radio station. The ratings used in our list are from the Spring Diary Period which measures listening habits from April to June. In July, Arbitron published its first ratings with data collected via Portable People Meters (17%) Clear Channel (26%) (PPMs). The company said the new devices identify exactly which stations a person listens to and for how long. – By Ari Morguelan Rank Genre City Arbitron Rating Ownership General Manager • dial number • phone number KLVE-FM Latin Glendale 5.6 Univision Olge Jaramillo 1 107.5 (818) 500-4500 KIIS-FM Popular Burbank 4.9 Clear Channel Communications Michael Jakel 2 102.7 (818) 559-2252 KSCA-FM Spanish Glendale 4.4 Univision Olge Jaramillo 3 101.9 (818) 500-4500 KFI-AM Newsradio Burbank 4 Clear Channel Communications Darren McMillan 4 640 (818) 559-2252 KPWR-FM Urban Burbank 4 Val Maki 5 106 (818) 953-4200 KOST-FM Burbank 3.7 Clear Channel Communications Greg Ashlock 6 103.5 (818) 559-2252 KBUE-FM Mexican Regional Glendale 3.4 Liberman Broadcasting Winter Horton 7 105.5 (818) 729-5300 KHHT-FM Rythmic Oldies Burbank 2.8 Clear Channel Communications Greg Ashlock 8 92.3 (818) 559-2252 KYSR-FM Contemporary Burbank 1.8 Clear Channel Communications Greg Ashlock 9 98.7 (818) 559-2252 KTNQ-AM Spanish News Glendale 1.3 Univision Olge Jaramillo 10 1020 (818) 500-4500 KLAC-AM Sports Burbank 1.1 Clear Channel Communications Don Martin 11 570 (818) 559-2252 KRLA-AM Conservative Talk Glendale 0.9 Salem Communications Terry Fahy 12 870 (818) 956-5552 KMVN-FM Oldies Burbank 0.7 Emmis Communications Val Maki 13 93.9 (818) 525-5000 KKLA-AM Christian Talk Glendale 0.4 Salem Communications Terry Fahy 14 99.5 (818) 956-5552 KCLU-FM Private / University Thousand Oaks Cal Lutheran University Mary Olson NR 88.3 (805) 493-3900 KCSN-FM Public / University Northridge Cal State Northridge Fred Johnson NR 88.5 (818) 677 3090 KCAQ-FM Popular Calabasas Gold Coast Broadcasting, LLC Chip Ehrhardt NR 104.7 (805) 289-1400 KOCP-FM Popular Camarillo Gold Coast Broadcasting, LLC Chip Ehrhardt NR 101.5 805-289-1400 KTLW-FM Christian Talk Van Nuys Living Way Ministries Gary Curtis NR 91.9 (888) 779-5859 KIRN-AM Ethnic Simi Valley Lotus Communications John Paley NR 670 (323) 851-5476 KKLA-FM Christian Talk Glendale Salem Communications Terry Fahy NR 99.5 (818) 956-5552 KMRO-FM Spanish Religious Camarillo The Assoc.
