do they count streaming in the ratings.............

It varies.  Some stations put their streams on a separate PPM encoder (which bakes a non-audible signal into the broadcast that the Nielsen people meters pick up), while others put both broadcast and stream on the same encoder so they're all counted together.  You can tell the stations that encode separately on the ratings reports because the streams show up with "STR", as in "KTCK-STR".  Based on the latest 12+ reports, Cumulus and IHeart have combined the reporting for their stations while Audacy has not. https://ratings.radio-online.com/content/arb024

Didn't realize most people didn't like Ben & Skin until this thread. I thought they were universally liked (besides me).

i like skin on the mavs. they were a perfect weekend show as that feels like about all the time they have to fill. attempted to listen to the freak morning show yesterday. fucking worse than norm.

Obviously nobody cares or listened to this garbage after a week, out of morbid curiosity, but unsurprisingly everyone was axed, it failed, and is back to 97.1 The Eagle rock music. And everyone at The Fan is laughing at them.

Shitty Ben & Skin surviving as the rest of the fucktards are fired is as fucking hilarious as when Ted Baxter survived in the Mary Tyler Moore finale. They are so fucking insipid and how they’ve had so many shows on different stations is ridiculous. They’ve never delivered even average ratings.

Wow. I think it kinda says everything about it that no one had posted in this thread for the last 1 year and four months.

There was plenty of talk about the station on the Ticket thread. Just easier to transfer over there. 

They should have kept Sirois and Danny for The Eagle and put them in the old Russ Martin afternoon drive slot. They would have had a shot with the rock listeners of developing decent ratings over time. 

I was excited for the station at first but damn was it terrible outside of Sirois and Danny, and that show took a year to materialize.
