Miami Ratings August 2018

     All three sports talk radio stations in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale market lost some audience in the market. Miami Sports Radio 560 WQAM-AM was on top of all of the local competitors for the second straight period.
     WQAM slipped from a 0.9 to a 0.8 during the month. It was a surprise that the station got no traction with the start of Miami Dolphins training camp along with preseason games.
     Sports Talk 790 The Ticket WAXY-AM went down for the third consecutive month from a 0.7 to a 0.6 in August. The weekday lineup has remained intact for the past 12 months. It was the worst ratings for the station since August 2016.
     Miami Sports 940 WINZ-AM had a drop after registering a 0.3 in the previous five months and fell to a 0.2 in August. Andy Slater no longer handled the mid-afternoon shift during the period and was replaced by one extra hour of Rich Eisen and Colin Cowherd from Fox Sports Radio.
     A major shock was that 640 The Hurricane WMEN-AM appeared in the Miami market even though they are based in Palm Beach County. They did end up with a 0.1 thanks to New York Yankees broadcasts along with Kevin's Other Show in the afternoon shift.
