Country Music Rules the Roost in The Spa City

Some blog readers have expressed an interest in a Radio blog. Let's just say I'm testing the waters here.

The first Arbitron book results were released for the Hot Springs radio market a couple of weeks ago. The findings show Country Music rules in the Spa City.
US Stations' County format station KQUS. US-97 came in with a rating of 15.7. That number is nearly double of AC powerhouse KLAZ, 105.9 which is owned by Noalmark. Of course with Little Rock not being far away, a number of Little Rock are stations were also on the list.

UPDATE: Was actually in the Spa City the last several days . Now here's the complete list:

KQUS-FM 15.7
KLAZ-FM 8.8
KVER-FM 8.8
KKPT-FM 4.9
KLXQ-FM 4.9
KABZ-FM 3.9
KIPR-FM 3.9
KLEZ-FM 3.9
KDJE-FM, KHKN-FM and KLAL-FM, 2.9
KSSN-FM, KURB-FM and KYDL-FM 2.0
KARN-FM/AM, KMJX-FM and KTTG-FM 1.0

UPDATE: For about a month I've been trying to get my Southwest Arkansas Radio blog up and off the ground. Still thinking about including and changing the name to include all of Arkansas.
