I knew the ratings for the other sports stations were bad; I did not think they were this bad.
Radio ratings are in for summer 2002 and The Ticket (1310-AM) can barely see all-sports rivals ESPN (103.3-FM) and Fox (1190-AM) in its rearview mirror. The Ticket averaged a 3.6 share among listeners age 12 and older, good for 10th in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. ESPN was at a 0.4 share, which tied for 33rd. Fox did not crack the top 40 listed stations. The Ticket's rating was down 12 percent from a year ago. ESPN's was flat. The Ticket was tops in the market among its sought-after men aged 25-54 demographic. ESPN was tied for 26th. Here's a look at the 12+ ratings for the 5 p.m. hour – the most listened to of the day when all three all-sports stations have local shows: The Ticket's Rhyner and Williams (4.4); ESPN's Cooperstein and Scruggs (0.7); Fox's Mike Fisher (0.3).
