May’s 4.9 share is the station’s best since January 2019. In demo rank, KWNR has jumped from 17 to 4 in just two months (see graph, page 9). “Las Vegas was certainly a bit ahead of most of the country to open up again,” Roberts says. “All of this renewed energy Block And Roll: Warner/WAR’s Shy Carter and his label MoJoe Roberts and excitement for the onslaught of concert announcements and tactical contesting have team at the National Museum of African American Music’s certainly played a factor in our growth.” Juneteenth Block Party.

  • Happy Media: Nielsen on Audience Ain't No Gold
    July 5, 2016, Issue 506 Ain’t No Gold Folk’s Home Country Radio’s Top 100 Power Gold list gets younger each year as a growing crop of artists make their way in. There are 36 new songs this year, and 53 that didn’t appear in our 2014 Top 100. No songs come from earlier than 1997, and only three from pre-2002. In fact, 61% of the list comes from 2011 or later. As always, songs move from Recurrent to Gold categories when they are 18 months old, so by default newer titles often appear or debut high on the list. The full 100 from Mediabase 24/7 and the Country Aircheck/ Mediabase reporting panel (June 19-25) is on page 10.
