<\/a> Kenosha County, Wisconsin<\/p><\/div>\n

Robservations on the media beat:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s official: Kenosha stays. Nielsen Audio<\/a> announced Wednesday that it won\u2019t be eliminating Kenosha County, Wisconsin, from the Chicago metro market. A vote among Chicago area broadcasters failed to achieve the required three-fourths majority to approve the change. It\u2019s a huge victory for Hubbard Radio, which would have seen its ratings decimated for classic rock WDRV FM 97.1 <\/a>(since The Drive simulcasts on Zion-based WWDV FM 96.9)<\/a>. \u201cIt is gratifying to see the majority of Chicago radio ownership groups pull together to ensure we serve, and can measure, as many listeners as possible,\u201d Jeff England,<\/strong> vice president and market manager of Hubbard Radio Chicago, said in a statement.<\/p>\n
