Shown here are my takeaways from all 48 PPM-measured markets, based on Nielsen Audio’s 6+ total week stats from the “Holiday” 2025 ratings period (12-11-2025 to 1-7-2026).
Just a reminder: In the overwhelming majority of cases, hefty spikes this sweep are owing to (many) Adult Contemporary outlets transitioning to wall-to-wall Christmas music.
Round One
New York
In addition to setting the pace the 41st time in a row, iHeartMedia-owned Adult Contemporary WLTW “106.7 Lite FM” is a net +5.1 via three straight upticks (7.4 – 7.4 – 9.9 – 12.5, 6+). December’s +2.6 pulled the plug on three sweeps in succession without an increase that resulted in a combined -1.2 (8.6 – 8.1 – 7.4 – 7.4, 6+).
Locked on 5.0 (6+) in November and December, Spanish Broadcasting System Spanish Tropical WSKQ “La Mega 97.9” picks up six-tenths to 5.6 (fifth to third, 6+), matching what it recorded in July.
Two MediaCo Holding outlets regress by seven-tenths: Urban AC WBLS “Your #1 Source For R&B” (5.1 – 4.4, third to sixth, 6+) and Rhythmic CHR WQHT “Hot 97” (3.5 – 2.8, #11 to #13, 6+). After trending 4.9 – 4.3 – 4.4 – 4.3 – 4.7 – 4.1 (June through November, 6+), WBLS gained a full-share to 5.1 (6+) this time last month. “Hot” was a combined +1.1 in October and November (3.2 – 3.9 – 4.3, 6+).
Los Angeles
Owing to four straight surges, iHeartMedia Adult Contemporary KOST “Coast 103.5” generates a +5.8 – more than doubling its 6+-stat since September – and repeats at #1 (5.5 – 5.7 – 6.5 – 11.2 – 13.3, 6+).
With the exception of KOST’s December – “Holiday” +1.1 (11.2 – 13.3, 6+), there are no other sizeable (6+) top 20 December – “Holiday” advances. Inching up by two-tenths each are: KOST’s Hot AC sibling, KBIG “104.3 My-FM” (4.9 – 5.1, steady in third-place, 6+); Univision Spanish Contemporary KLVE “107.5 K-Love” and co-owned Regional Mexican KSCA “La Nueva 101.9” with identical 2.8 – 3.0, #15 to 13 profiles, 6+); and Spanish Broadcasting System Spanish Contemporary KXOL “Mega 96.3” (1.6 – 1.8, #18, 6+).
On the heels of gaining four-tenths in December, Pasadena City College-owned News/Talk KPCC “LA-ist 89.3” falters by seven tenths (3.2 – 2.5, #10 to #16, 6+). Prior to dropping one-tenth in November to 2.8 (6+), KPCC was frozen on 2.9 (6+) in July, August, September and October.
Chicago
As a result of posting its fourth consecutive increase (4.7 – 4.9 – 6.0 – 11.5 – 12.4, 6+), iHeartMedia Adult Contemporary WLIT “93.9 Lite FM” is a net +7.7 and is #1 the fourth month in succession.
Up one-half share, Audacy CHR WBBM-FM “B-96” records a 2.1 the fourth time in the last five sweeps (2.1 – 2.1 – 2.1 – 1.6 – 2.1, 6+) and returns to the top twenty at #17.
Faltering by eight-tenths each are Hubbard Broadcasting Hot AC WTMX “101.9 The Mix” (second to fifth, 6+) and Cumulus Media-owned WLS-FM “94.7 Chicago’s Classic Hits” (4.5 – 3.7, fifth to seventh, 6+). “Mix” is a combined -.9 the past two survey periods (5.1 – 5.0 – 4.2, 6+). In December, WLS-FM’s +.9 to 4.5 (6+) erased its combined -.8 in October and November (4.4 – 3.8 – 3.6, 6+).
San Francisco
More than doubling (net +5.2) its 6+-share in back-to-back sweeps (4.7 – 7.0 – 9.9, 6+), Bonneville International Adult Contemporary KOIT “Better Music For A Better Workday” progresses from third to first. Departing the top spot after 12 consecutive sweeps there and shifting to the runner-up slot is KQED Inc.-owned public News/Talk KQED, which is trending 8.7 – 8.8 – 9.3 – 9.1 – 9.2 (6+).
Up eight-tenths and surfacing at #20, Amaturo Sonoma Media Group Adult Contemporary “100.1 KZST” has a November – December – “Holiday” topline of: .5 – .6 – 1.4 (6+).
Following December’s gain of three-tenths (2.4 – 2.7, 6+), iHeartMedia Urban Contemporary “106.1 KMEL” forfeits seven-tenths to 2.0 (6+) and drops out of the top ten (#10 to #14).
Dallas
Not only does it repeat at #1, iHeartMedia Adult Contemporary KDGE “Star 102.1” has more than doubled (net +5.3) its 6+-topline in back-to-back sweeps (4.8 – 8.6 – 10.1, 6+).
In a somewhat similar vein, Educational Media Foundation Contemporary Christian KLTY “K-Love 94.9” has exactly doubled (+2.0) its 6+-stat since October (2.0 – 3.0 – 3.2 – 4.0, 6+), advancing from #11 to #7.
Cumulus Media Sports Talk KTCK “The Ticket” craters by -1.9 (6.3 – 4.4, 6+), slipping from second to fourth. The flagship of the NHL’s Stars had a November-only stay at #1.
Houston
A bit misleading is the “Holiday” -3.1 to 13.3 (6+) that iHeartMedia Adult Contemporary KODA logs, as its December 16.4 was the highest 6+-stat by any station in that survey period. In any event, “Sunny 99.1” is #1 the fifth time in a row.
With a topline in the three-share range the past five survey periods (3.2 – 3.0 – 3.2 – 3.7 – 3.4, 6+), Audacy’s Country-formatted KILT-FM “100.3 The Bull” explodes with a +1.4 to 4.8 (tenth to seventh, 6+).
Meanwhile, its format challenger – Urban One’s KKBQ “93-Q” (third to fourth) – drops four-tenths and is in five-share range the ninth time in the last ten sweeps (5.1 – 5.3 – 5.2 – 5.2 – 5.5 – 5.1 – 5.7 – 6.0 – 5.7 – 5.3, 6+).
Atlanta
Albeit a combined -1.8 in December and “Holiday” (8.5 – 7.4 – 6.7, 6+), Cox Media Group-owned WSB-AM “Atlanta’s News & Talk” is #1 the fifth straight time. September’s +.9 halted three modest dips in a row that resulted in a combined -.6 (7.5 – 7.1 – 7.0 – 6.9, 6+).
Enjoying hefty sweep-to-sweep upswings are: Audacy’s WSTR “Star 94 The Rhythm Of Atlanta,” the market’s all-Christmas music station (4.2 – 6.3, +2.1, eighth to third, 6+); Urban Contemporary sibling WVEE “V-103” (5.1 – 6.1, +1.0, sixth to fourth, 6+); and Cumulus Media’s WKHX “New Country 101.5” (3.7 – 5.1, +1.4, tenth to seventh, 6+)
Frozen on 6.8 (6+) in October and November, Cox Media Group Adult Contemporary WSB-FM “B-98.5” has squandered a combined two full-shares in December and “Holiday” (6.8 – 6.1 – 4.8, third to eighth, 6+).
Philadelphia
More than tripling (a massive net +12.0) its 6+-stat the past two sweeps (5.0 – 10.1 – 17.0, 6+), Audacy Adult Contemporary WBEB “Philly’s B-101” repeats at #1. WBEB’s steady June through November topline was: 5.5 – 5.3 – 5.5 – 5.4 – 5.6 – 5.0 (6+).
After faltering by -1.2 in December (6.7 – 5.5, 6+), Beasley Broadcast Group Classic Rock WMGK “102.9 MGK” recaptures one-third of that loss with a +.4 to 5.9 (6+), pushing up from fifth to second.
Regressing by one full-share each are iHeartMedia Urban AC WDAS-FM “Philly’s Best R&B and Classic Soul” (6.3 – 5.3, third to fifth, 6+) and Beasley Broadcast Group Adult Hits WBEN-FM “95.7 Ben FM” (3.7 – 2.7, #10 to #14, 6+). “Ben” was a collective +.6 in three straight gains (3.1 – 3.4 – 3.6 – 3.7, 6+). “Philly’s Best R&B and Classic Soul” earned nine-tenths in December (5.4 – 6.3, 6+).
Nassau-Suffolk (Long Island)
Over and above being a combined +5.6 the last two sweeps (2.9 – 6.6 – 8.5, 6+), iHeartMedia Adult Contemporary WLTW “106.7 Lite FM” progresses from second to first. After back-to-back finishes on top, Red Apple Media News/Talk “77 WABC” – a combined -1.7 in December and “Holiday” (8.2 – 6.9 – 6.5, 6+) – slides to fourth.
Zooming from fifth to second, Connoisseur Media Hot AC WALK-FM “Long Island’s Best Variety” has more than doubled (net +4.2) its 6+-topline via three gains in succession (3.4 – 4.0 – 5.5 – 7.6, 6+).
Spiraling by -1.2 and slipping from sixth to tenth, iHeartMedia Classic Rock WAXQ “Q-104.3” is in an alternating down/up pattern that began in June: 4.6 – 4.2 – 4.7 – 4.1 – 4.7 – 4.2 – 4.5 – 3.3 (6+).
Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario
Notwithstanding Entravision Spanish Adult Hits KLYY is a collective -4.4 the past three survey periods (12.0 – 11.4 – 9.1 – 7.6), “Jose” is #1 the 13thconsecutive time.
Logging increases of one full-share are Audacy Country KFRG “95.1 K-Frog” (2.4 – 3.4, sixth to fourth, 6+) and Meruelo Urban-Rhythmic Oldies KDAY “Hip Hop Back In The Day” (1.7 – 2.7, #12 to #6, 6+). “K-Frog” regains the full-share it lost in three straight declines (3.4 – 3.3 – 3.0 – 2.4, 6+). Prior to dropping six-tenths in December to 1.7 (6+), KDAY netted two full-shares via four consecutive sweeps without a loss (.3 – .3 – .4 – 1.9 – 2.3 (6+).
In three successive drops, Univision Spanish Adult Hits KRCD “Recuerdo” is a collective -1.2 (2.2 – 1.9 – 1.6 – 1.0, #13 to #15, 6+).
San Jose
A whopping net +7.3 the past three sweeps (4.3 – 4.7 – 7.9 – 11.6, 6+), Bonneville International Adult Contemporary KOIT “Better Music For A Better Workday” repeats at #1.

Meanwhile, Connoisseur Media’s similarly-formatted KEZR “Mix 106.5” is a combined -1.8 in December and “Holiday” (5.4 – 4.7 – 3.6, fourth to fifth, 6+).

Even so, the Hubbard Broadcasting all-News operation is #1 the seventh time in succession and in double-digits (6+) the 14th survey period in a row.

Cincinnati
This time last month, Cumulus Media Classic Hits “103.5 WGRR” and iHeartMedia-owned WLW “News Radio 700” were locked in a first-place tie. The deadlock is broken in “Holiday” and the sole occupant at the top now is … Cumulus Media Adult Contemporary WRRM “Warm 98.5,” which zooms from third to first. The steady June through November topline for “Warm” was: 5.0 – 5.5 – 5.0 – 5.9 – 5.7 (6+); it’s now 5.7 – 7.8 – 11.1 (6+).

Austin
A combined +6.3 in December and “Holiday” (4.6 – 8.6 – 10.9, 6+), Audacy Adult Contemporary KKMJ “Majic 95.5” progresses from second to first. Unseated after five straight sweeps at #1, University of Texas at Austin-owned News/Talk “KUT 90.5” craters by two full-shares (11.1 – 9.1, 6+) and trades places with “Majic.” Entering the December survey period, KUT was an overall +2.6 in seven consecutive up or flat months (8.7 – 8.9 – 8.9 – 9.6 – 9.6 – 10.7 – 10.9 – 11.3, 6+).

Erasing well over half of December’s -1.6 with a “Holiday” +1.1 (7.6 – 6.0 – 7.1, 6+), Urban One-owned Urban AC WFXC “Foxy” inches up from sixth to fourth. Also improving by +1.1 in “Holiday,” Curtis Media Group Regional Mexican WYMY “La Ley 101.1” continues an alternating up/down pattern that began in June (5.0 – 5.1 – 4.6 – 5.4 – 4.7 – 5.2 – 4.0 – 5.1, ninth to eighth, 6+).

Indianapolis
Exactly half the stations appearing in the top twenty here make December 2025 – “Holiday” 2025 variations of at least one full-share. The most substantial in either direction is by Urban One Adult Contemporary WYXB (10.2 – 13.7, +3.5), which is #1 the fourth time in succession. Entering the December sweep, “B-105.7” was a net +3.9 via three straight upticks (6.9 – 7.1 – 9.7 – 10.8, 6+), but relinquished sixth-tenths in December (10.8 – 10.2, 6+).

Milwaukee
To say it’s been quite the turnaround for WRNW is a genuine understatement. The iHeartMedia-owned property jettisoned its Sports Talk format in mid-October in favor of Adult Contemporary, its format from 1985 – 2004. Not only has “B-97.3” more than quintupled its 6+-topline for a massive +9.1 (2.1 – 6.7, +4.6 – 11.2, 6+), it marches from third to first; WRNW was #16 in November. Conversely, co-owned WISN is a combined -2.2 the past two sweeps and – after a stunning 29 consecutive times at #1 – segues to the runner-up slot. Prior to August, “News/Talk 1130” was in double-digits (6+) seventeen sweeps in a row.

Nashville
In addition to being on top the fourth time in a row, Midwest Communications Adult Contemporary WJXA is an overall +8.3 the last four survey periods (8.5 – 9.1 – 9.3 – 12.4, 6+). After ten straight months in the top spot, “Mix 92.9” exited in September.
Advancing from third to second, WJXA’s Adult Hits sibling – WCJK “96.3 Jack FM” – is in an alternating down/up pattern (including +1.1 in “Holiday”) that began in July: 5.7 – 5.4 – 6.6 – 5.8 – 7.3 – 6.9 – 8.0 (6+).
Without an increase the fourth time in a row for an overall -2.5 (8.8 – 8.4 – 7.6 – 7.6 – 6.3, 6+), Cumulus Media Sports Talk/Tennessee Titans flagship WGFX “104.5 The Zone” slips from second to third.

After gaining a combined full-share the past two sweeps (5.0 – 5.2 – 6.0, 6+), WHJY Hot AC sibling – WSNE “Now 93.3” – erodes by -1.3 to 4.7 (6+) and drops from sixth to seventh.
Norfolk
The only “Holiday” 2025 tie at #1 is between Audacy Urban AC WVKL “95-7 R&B” (10.3 – 11.6, +1.3, #1 the 12th time in a row, 6+) and co-owned Adult Contemporary WWDE “101.3 2WD,” an overall +6.8 via four consecutive sweeps without a loss (4.8 – 5.1 – 5.1 – 7.9 – 11.6, second to a first-place tie, 6+). December’s +.4 by WVKL halted a string of three straight dips that accounted for a net loss of one full-share (10.9 – 10.6 – 10.1 – 9.9, 6+).
WWDE’s format rival – iHeartMedia’s WNOH – is a collective +2.5 in four sweeps in succession without a loss (.4 – .4 – .9 – 2.6 – 2.9, #14 to #12, 6+). “105.3 The Breeze” flipped to Adult Contemporary in August, after being a Black Information Network affiliate.

Jacksonville
Not only does Renda Media Adult Contemporary “96.1 WEJZ” repeat at #1, it adds three full-shares to December’s +2.8 (8.1 – 10.9 – 13.9, 6+).
The third uptrend in a row by iHeartMedia Urban AC WSOL is a +1.1; “V-101.5” is a collective +2.1 in that span (6.2 – 6.4 – 7.2 – 8.3, fourth to third, 6+). Educational Media Foundation Contemporary Christian WJKV “K-Love 90.9” is in an albeit brief alternating up/down pattern that includes a full-share “Holiday” increase (4.6 – 5.7 – 5.1 – 6.1, eighth to fourth, 6+).
In December, iHeartMedia Urban Contemporary WJBT improved by +1.3 to 7.4 ( 6+) and recorded its third straight sweep without a loss for a net +1.8 (5.6 – 5.6 – 6.1 – 7.4, 6+); however, “93.3 The Beat” nosedives by -2.2 to 5.2 (6+), sliding from third to seventh. Following a December gain of nine-tenths (5.2 – 6.1, 6+), Cox Media Group Adult Contemporary WEZI “Easy 102.9” relinquishes a -1.4 to 4.7 (fifth to eighth, 6+).
West Palm Beach
There genuinely seems to be no stopping Hubbard Broadcasting Classic Hits WEAT, which has essentially quadrupled … an astonishing net +14.3 since June … its 6+-topline in SEVEN STRAIGHT upticks (4.9 – 5.3 – 6.6 – 8.8 – 11.6 – 13.3 – 14.5 – 19.2, 6+). “Sunny 107.9” is #1 the fourth time in a row with its heftiest PPM-era 6+-stat (19.2).

On the heels of replicating similarly-formatted WEAT’s December +1.2 (7.6 – 8.8, 6+), iHeartMedia Adult Contemporary WOLL freefalls by -3.9 to 4.9 (second to fifth, 6+), marking the first time “Kool 105.5” is below a five-share (6+) since May’s 4.7. In August, “Sunny” and “Kool” were tied for the lead. Frozen on 5.3 (6+) in November and December, iHeartMedia-owned WKGR “98.7 The Gator” sputters by -1.1 to 4.2 (fifth to seventh, 6+).
Greensboro
Although it doesn’t come close to matching December’s monstrous +10.1, iHeartMedia Adult Contemporary WMAG (18.4 – 21.5, +3.1, 6+) boasts the loftiest 6+ “Holiday” 2025 topline (21.5) by any station in the 48 PPM-markets. “Mix 99.5” also held that distinction in December with its 18.4 (6+).

Audacy Adult Contemporary WRVR “104.5 The River” basically matches December’s +2.2 with a “Holiday” +2.1 (8.5 – 10.7 – 12.8, 6+) and repeats in the runner-up slot.
