Miami Ratings September 2019

     The ratings for the Miami/Fort Lauderdale market were issued. 560 The Joe WQAM-AM was on top for the second straight month. It was the first complete period in which both Entercom Communications sister-stations WQAM and Sports Talk 790 The Ticket WAXY-AM implemented their new weekday lineups.
     WQAM rose from a 0.7 to a 1.0 in the month. The addition of the Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz jolted the station to an upward trend. The return of University of Miami Hurricanes football and Miami Dolphins broadcasts also did help matters.
     The Ticket moved down from a 0.6 to a 0.3 in the period. It was their lowest ratings since September 2015, a 0.4 at that time, because the Dan Le Batard Show was moved from afternoon drive to middays along with the elimination of the FM simulcast. They saw the first complete month of a program switch with Brendan Tobin, Leroy Hoard and Brian London in mornings while Jonathan Zaslow and Amber Wilson were in the midday shift.
     After four straight months at a 0.3, Miami Sports 940 WINZ-AM dropped to a 0.2. The Miami Marlins were eliminated from postseason contention and the University of Florida football broadcasts returned to the station.
     WMEN-AM changed their brand during the period from 640 The Hurricane to Fox Sports 640 South Florida. It resulted in them going from a 0.1 after seven consecutive months to a 0.2. They started broadcasts of Florida Atlantic University football while New York Yankees were ready to finalize a playoff spot.
