The story of the November monthlies continues to be the jumps by many News/Talkers ahead of the election. Four stations in particular made noticeable jumps this month.

It is very rare for a heritage 50kW clear channel AM frequency to have never led its market. Chris Huff notes that iHeartMedia News/Talk 1200 WOAI San Antonio was one of those to have never led the market in the history of measurement by Arbitron and Nielsen dating back to 1966. That ended today as the station rose from a 6.3 to 7.7 share to tie Cox Classic Hits 101.1 KONO-FM atop the market.

Last month iHeartMedia’s 570 KNRS/105.7 KNRS-FM Salt Lake City led the market for the first time ever with a 7.6 share, which was a record for either frequency. This month it rises to a 9.5 share to shatter that record.

A pair of Public News/Talkers set station records this month. 89.3 KCUR Kansas City rose from 4.2 to 5.2, while 89.7 WOSU-FM Columbus surged from a 5.2 to 6.9 share.

Public News/Talk 91.5 KOPB-FM Portland takes the #1 spot back in the market with a 7.6 to 8.3 gain. iHeartMedia AC “K103” KKCW falls to second 8.4 – 8.2, while Alpha Media News/Talk holds in third at a 7.0.

iHeartMedia Classic Rock “99.7 The Fox” WRFX continues to lead Charlotte with a 7.9 to 7.5 move. Entercom (now Radio One) News/Talk 1110 WBT/99.3 WBT-FM rises to second 6.9 to 7.4 with what Huff notes is its largest share since 1995. iHeartMedia Country “96.9 The Kat” WKKT jumps to third 6.4 to 7.4, Beasley Country 103.7 WSOC follows right behind steady at a 7.3.

While we noted yesterday that Entercom Alternative “107.7 The End” KNDD Seattle has trended downward 3.9 to 3.2 to 2.3 since the company’s format restructuring. However, two of the company’s stations today have shown significant gains. “Alt 94.7” KKDO Sacramento followed the move from a jockless presentation to rise 2.4 to 3.6. The rebranding of “96.5 The Buzz” KRBZ Kansas City to “Alt 96.5” has the station rise 2.1 – 2.7 – 3.1.

The undefeated start for the Pittsburgh Steelers helps iHeartMedia Rock 102.5 WDVE rise 10.6 to 11.3 for what Huff notes is its highest share since November 2010. It also helps Entercom Sports “93.7 The Fan” KDKA-FM move up 5.3 – 6.2 – 6.4.

It was not a good month for Country in Pittsburgh as iHeartMedia’s “Big 104.7” WPGB slides 5.3 to 3.8 and Entercom’s “Y108” WDSY continues to slide 5.1 – 4.5 – 4.1. Public News/Talk 90.5 WESA was one of the few to not rise as it slides 4.8 to 3.9.

Lots of movement in Las Vegas. Beasley Classic Hits 96.3 KKLZ stays in the lead with a 7.3 to 6.1 drop. iHeartMedia AC “Sunny 106.5” KSNE drops 6.8 to 5.6.
