RadioInsight - June 2026 (5/28 – 6/24) Nielsen Audio PPM Ratings Day 1: WQXR Jumps To Highest Share In Over 55 Years

Nielsen begins its monthly release of PPM ratings with Day 1 markets New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Long Island, Riverside/San Bernardino, San Jose, and Middlesex/Somerset/Union.

All the numbers can be found at RadioInsight.com/Ratings.

We introduced an enhancement to our ratings pages with the addition of six charts on each market page and some right here on our recaps.

The ongoing lawsuit between Cumulus Media and Nielsen means that Cumulus Media’s stations are no longer publicly listed in the ratings.

Due to technical issues we are temporarily unable to provide our enhanced ratings charts and graphs. We will be updating these charts as soon as possible and hope to have everything resolve for tomorrow’s data.
