<\/a> V103 102.7-FM Chicago<\/p><\/div>\n

WVAZ 102.7-FM marked its 30th anniversary<\/a> as Chicago's premier music station with another stellar performance atop Chicago's radio ratings.<\/p>\n

Nielsen Audio figures released Monday showed the iHeartMedia urban adult-contemporary powerhouse No. 1 among all listeners. V103 leads the market with 56 first-place finishes in the monthly survey since Nielsen introduced Portable People Meter-based surveys in 2008, according to the station.<\/p>\n

The Entercom all-news simulcast combo of WBBM 780-AM and WCFS 105.9-FM, celebrating its 50th year in the format, ran a close second. WBBM Newsradio anchors Felicia Middlebrooks and Pat Cassidy again were first in morning drive.<\/p>\n

In third place with its largest share ever was WOJO 105.1-FM, the Univision Spanish-language regional Mexican station.\u00a0La Que Buena 105.1<\/em> was No. 1 in afternoon drive with\u00a0Sylvia del Valle, Jose Gutierrez and Carlos Ivan Paez.<\/p>\n

The Nielsen Audio survey ran from September 13 to October 10.<\/p>\n

Note: In accordance with Nielsen's publishing guidelines,<\/a> I cannot report actual audience shares other than those for the full week (below). For mornings, middays, afternoons and evenings, I can list only their rankings \u2014 not specific shares.<\/em><\/p>\n
