Wow, I didn't realize Majic 102.5 (WMJQ-FM) was that low in the ratings and Kiss 98.5 (WKSE-FM) was that far ahead of them. Guess that explains the former's format change in early 1991.

A couple of observations. 1. WJYE was still #1. Spring 1989 was likely their first rating period with a Soft A/C format after abandoning the Beautiful format in late 1988. 2. WGR's once successful AC format is coming to an end because of #4 WBUF. 550 would switch to News in 1990 then the current all sports in 2000.

Gotta love the typo on CJFT’s power. 250kw on 530 would have wiped out WGR
