KSL Radio falls toward No. 2

KSL (AM-1160/FM-102,7) remains the No. 1 station in the market, but its lead has diminished, and if this downward trend continues, it could soon end up No. 2.

The latest Arbitron rating estimates the "Spring Book," for listeners ages 12-plus, has KSL on top with 6.7 percent of the listening audience. Sister station KSFI ("FM-100") is second at 6.5 percent. KSL dropped 0.9 of a percentage point from the spring book of 2005 to now, while KSFI is actually up 0.2 of a point.

KUBL (FM-93.3) has fallen even further, losing 1.1 percentage point of its audience in the past year. However, that station remains in third place at 5.2 percent. KXRK ("X96") is close behind at 5.1 percent and KZHT (FM-97.1) rounds out the top five at 4.8 percent.
