While the future appears to remain shaky for parent company Cumulus Media, whose stock is reeling at around 50 cents per share, its Sportsradio 1310 AM and 96.7 FM The Ticket franchise continued to dominate its niche in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, according to the latest ratings book.

In case you missed it, a headline in the tabloid New York Post this week read: "Cumulus Media is on the brink of total collapse."

No matter what happens at Atlanta-based Cumulus whose stock price was $64 as recently as 2014, The Ticket, which has changed ownership multiple times since its birth in 1994, should continue to thrive.

For the May book, The Ticket remained No. 1 in the market in its targeted audience of men 25-54. That's No. 1 up and down the radio dial regardless of format. It was the station's best ratings month since June 2016.

Meanwhile, KRLD-FM (105.3) the Fan was No. 7 while KESN-FM (103.3), a.k.a. ESPN, was No. 19.

The Ticket's May rating more than doubled Fan and ESPN combined.

All four of the Ticket's weekday shows from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. -- Musers, Norm & Donovan, BaD Radio and the Hardline -- were No. 1 in their time slots.

Over at the Fan, Shan & R.J. were sixth overall in morning drive. G Bag Nation was No. 5 in its time slot with Ben & Skin clocking in at No. 5 in afternoon drive.

The good news at the Fan is its May 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekday ratings in men 25-54 was its best ever.

At ESPN, the soon to be departed national Mike & Mike offering was No. 11 in morning drive. J Dub City was No. 19 (with the best rating in its brief lifetime). Ryan Rusillo, another national offering, was No. 23. Dennis & Cowlishaw was No. 11 in afternoon drive.
