Day 3 of Nielsen Audio\u2019s PPM releases are now available for Charlotte, Portland, San Antonio, Salt Lake City, Orlando, Sacramento, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Columbus, and Cleveland.<\/p>\n

All the numbers can be found at RadioInsight.com\/Ratings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ongoing lawsuit between Cumulus Media and Nielsen means that Cumulus Media\u2019s stations are no longer publicly listed in the ratings.<\/p>\n

Audacy is no longer listing its streaming numbers separate from the broadcast, with the signals once again combined into one share.<\/p>\n
