August 2026 (7/23 &#8211; 8/19) Nielsen Audio PPM Ratings Day 1: KBIG Reaches 48 Year High

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.
