The Warriors Not Only Won It All, But Helped 95.7 FM "The Game"; KGO Gets Killed By KSFO; KQED Falters; KCBS: Meh; KOIT and K-101 Big Winners; May SF Radio Ratings

THE SF MAY RADIO RATINGS ARE OUT.

Here's the full numbers.

My analysis:

I've ripped the FM all-sports outlet, 95.7 "The Game"--they had a milestone month: they got out of radio purgatory and delivered a respectable 2.2 May rating from near eternal obscurity.

The Game benefited from the Warriors advance in the NBA playoffs and an up and coming morning show (not that wonderful) but emerging and infinitely superior than the dreck on their AM (KNBR) competitor, which has major problems.

So while 95.7 has hardly anything to crow about, I'll give them credit for finally escaping the abyss and showing signs of life. Not a pulse, more a robust resiliency.

Other observations:

Talk about cratering: KQED.

While KCBS had a mild gain overall, it is not performing like the all-news monopoly it essentially is.

Wow, KGO, you flatlined and got KILLED by KSFO, which is nothing other than a major embarrassment, even by lame KGO (Cumulus) standards.

KNBR, as I said, has MAJOR problems: all shows were DOWN and the Giants continue to under-perform on radio.

*Good month, K-101 and KOIT.
