KUOW-FM still wins the month, but the number fell sharply from a 10.1 share in May to 7.4 in June, with KIRO-AM jumping .5 share points to 7.3.  Gotta assume it's World Cup/Seattle games fever!.  In other news, KNKX topped KNWN by a .1 for the second straight month.   KEXP has dropped from a 6.3 in March to a 2.6 in June.   The full chart is here: https://ratings.radio-online.com/content/arb039 Totals are Persons 6+, Mon-Sun, 6am-midnight This profile contains an quarter hour rating (AQH) share of persons, ages 6+, Monday through Sunday in the Metro Survey Area. A share is the percentage of those listening to radio in the MSA who are listening to a particular radio station.

Here's the post on social from David Kroman, who's making the jump from the Seattle Times to a public radio host! "Heads up on a personal update: The next two weeks will be my last at The Seattle Times. Next month, I'll join Libby Denkmann as co-host of KUOW's Soundside. It's a big change that I'm very excited to make, though of course I'm sad to leave the Times."  KUOW has dominated Seattle radio ratings for many, many months.  Kroman is well source-connected in the market.

  I decided to peek in at the 5pm newscasts after the Seahawks sale was announced Saturday around 4. KING was tops with Paul Silvi joining virtually from his home and discussing his belief about the ownership group leaving the team alone to defend their title and primarily working on the improvement of Lumen Field in hopes of a Super Bowl someday.  Good authoritative insights from the best vet in town, responding as the station should, getting the Sports Director immediately involved. On the other hand, there was no sports anchor for the entire show, with news anchor Madeline Carter doing all the stories.   That's with four people on the staff!! Dusty Baker, Maddie's significant other, still MIA on air. Oh well, it's summer. Maenwhile, Niko Tamurian was apparently off today at KOMO.  Michelle Esteban had to cover.  Niko was not on set at all and his sports segment was clearly pre-taped with no mention of the sale. What surprised me is that KOMO did not at l...

Hearing that KONG's 'The Ultimate Sports Show' with Paul Silvi and Chris Egan is doing so well, it's being moved to KING at 10.  Heard it here first!!   Keep an eye out! 

Mariners lead announcer, Aaron Goldsmith, says he's starting his All-Star Break early as of now, with Rich Waltz taking his chair until the Friday after the mid-summer hiatus.    Goldy wins by a 'hair!'
