Miami Ratings July 2015

     104.3 The Ticket WAXY-FM was on top of the ratings for sports format radio stations in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale region for the 23rd consecutive month. It turned out to be a great period for the three competitors during the month as all of them improved despite being in the part of the year which is considered the sports graveyard.
     The Ticket ended up going from a 1.9 to a 2.2 in July which tied their highest rating since July 2014. They also increased their margin of victory over their nearest competitor with their stable daytime lineup. Former Miami Hurricanes lineman Brett Romberg and ESPN reporter Israel Gutierrez was added as guest co-hosts to the morning show that is hosted by Jonathan Zaslow and Joy Taylor.
     Sports Radio 560 WQAM-AM got a slight bump in the ratings as they moved from a 1.0 to a 1.1 for this month thanks to their coverage of the 2015 NHL Draft which was held in Sunrise. They let go early afternoon co-hosts Adam Kuperstein and Channing Crowder when the ratings period ended and started four-hour blocks for their weekday daily lineup. WQAM will have a similar setup as most CBS Radio owned sports stations have around the country.
     Miami Sports 940 WINZ-AM showed an increase for the first time in a while after being flat for the last five months. They went from a 0.2 to a 0.3 in the month of July due to the social buzz of Jose Fernandez returning to the Miami Marlins after being out for over one year due to an injury.
