It was another banner ratings month for the station that bills itself as Sportsradio KTCK-AM (1310) and KTCK-FM (96.7) but is better known as The Ticket.

Meanwhile the news also was good for KRLD-FM (105.3) "The Fan" whose numbers were up yet again, a nice trend this year. As for KESN-FM (103.3) aka ESPN Radio, the overall numbers were flat, but as the national Mike & Mike show slid in morning drive, Cowlishaw & Mosley in the afternoon drive moved incrementally higher but still significantly trails The Hardline and Ben & Skin.

The latest ratings, which are shares of the listening audience during specific intervals, arrived this week. They are for the June book, which covers May 19 to June 15.

If you have been paying attention you know that the gospel sports talk numbers are for the demographic of men 25-54. That's what pays the stations' bills and salaries.
