Last month the market was torn asunder as the leading 6+ station was not AMERICAN UNIVERSITY N/T WAMU. That honor was bestowed upon HUBBARD News WTOP.

Welp, order was restored as WAMU was back on top (10.4-10.5), while WTOP was back to its more customary #2 position (10.7-9.8).

HOWARD UNIVERSITY Urban AC WHUR was again the leading music station at #3 (6.7-6.4).

Coming in at a distant #4 once again was iHEARTMEDIA AC WASH (4.8-4.8).

iHEARTMEDIA Alternative WWDC (DC101) repeated at #5 (4.5-4.4).

WASH was still the cume leader (750,700-733,800) – a 2.3% decline. This was remarkably similar to the market’s 2.0% drop.

WWDC racked up its third 25-54 win in a row despite a slight decrease.

WAMU was back at #2. The stations were separated by about a half-share. WASH repeated at #3 with a small share loss.

URBAN ONE Urban Contemporary WKYS was up two places to #4 with a solid share gain. It was paired with iHEARTMEDIA Country WMZQ, which landed its largest share in over a year as it advanced from #10.

WTOP gave back most of last month’s rather large share increase as it slipped into a tie at #6 with AUDACY Rhythmic CHR WPGC.

AUDACY Classic Hits WIAD (94.7 THE DRIVE) fell from #5 to #9.

Say hello to your new 18-34 leader. WPGC moved up to #1 and landed its largest share in over a year.

iHEARTMEDIA Pop CHR WIHT (HOT 99.5) was last month’s leader but stepped down to #2 as it surrendered a good portion of its previous share. It was joined in that space by WKYS, which arrived from #6, also with its highest share in over a year.

WAMU dipped to #4 with its lowest mark in over a year. It was met there by a flat iHEARTMEDIA Classic Rock WBIG (BIG 100), which stepped up from #5.

WASH returned most of last month’s huge increase as it slipped to #6. It was tied with WWDC and ATLANTIC GATEWAY Contemporary Christian WGTS. Both of those stations moved up the chart.

WWDC was flat 18-49 but captured the 18-49 flag for the third book in a row.

WASH was back at #2 but the gap between the two stations expanded past the one-share mark.

WAMU repeated at #3 but was forced to share as WPGC moved up from #5 to forge the tie.

WKYS rose from #7 to #5 with its first up book since MARCH. WIHT slid from #3 to #6.
