Nielsen Audio has released Day 2 of its monthly four day sweep of ratings in PPM markets.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s releases include Washington DC, Boston, Miami\/Fort Lauderdale, Seattle, Phoenix, Detroit, Minneapolis, Tampa\/St. Petersburg, Denver, San Diego, Baltimore, and St. Louis.<\/p>\n

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

This month we introduce an enhancement to our ratings pages with the addition of six charts on each market page and some right here on our recaps.<\/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
