104.3 The Ticket WAXY-FM ended up being the top sports format radio station in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale region for the 20th consecutive month. Their nearest competitor did close the gap slightly.
It has been a tough year for South Florida sports fans in which the Miami Heat and the Florida Panthers both missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008. If you add the Miami Dolphins and the Miami Marlins not playing a postseason game during the past twelve months then it means that all four local professional franchises failed to be in a playoff game for the first time since 2002.
104.3 The Ticket dropped down from a 1.7 to a 1.6 in April. It was the same rating they had back in January and February. The Miami Heat did battle it out until the final week for a postseason berth.
Sports Radio 560 WQAM-AM saw a bump up in their numbers as they moved from a 0.9 to a 1.1 during this month. The station returned to their benchmark that they held back in January. The performance by the University of Miami Hurricanes basketball team getting to the NIT Final did help.
It was same story for 940 Miami Sports WINZ-AM as they remained flat for the third straight month with a 0.2 in April. Even with the influx of transactions made during the off-season by the Miami Marlins, the team began the regular season with a tough first two weeks.
