How Hot 95.7 is doing in the Houston radio ratings

Radio industry site FMQB interviewed Hot 95.7 KKHH's program director Mark Adams about his new gig in Houston. The article reveals some info on the birth of the new station. It also lets us know CBS is happy about waving goodbye to smooth jazz on that frequency:


On the station making an immediate impact…
Our December was very gratifying. We broke 1.1 million cume 6+ which puts Hot Top 5 in the market. We continued to post solid gains P18-34 and P18-49, beating KRBE W18-34 and tying them W18-49. Obviously that’s a big deal and we were all very happy about it. All of that said, I’m very much aware this is a marathon and not a sprint. Houston is a very competitive market and we face multiple direct competitors and some good radio stations. We’ve laid some solid groundwork and need to continue to build on that in 2009.

If you regularly read this blog at all you know I like rock music. However I find myself checking out Hot 95.7 because CBS seems to do a nice job with its stations. It feels like a fun radio station.
