*OK, so it appears that Alexa apparently hates WSNX or nobody cares about going to that station's website anymore. Who knows?

*WGRD is #1 by a huge longshot (duh)

*Although it's now one of the most-critiqued stations in town, Channel 95-7 has its internet fans

*The Fox is a big pile of shit nobody listens to, or even go to their website

*Even though WFUR (finally) re-designed their website and even introduced a new logo and now even has webstreaming, it's practically polishing a big, fat, ugly turd

PREDICTIONS FOR 2012:
*WGRD will still be #1 in the ratings
*Channel 95-7 will still be around with Kidd Kraddick in the morning
*Cumulus will replace Thunder 94.5 with a re-launch of KLQ; they might even convince Bill Walters to return, but they'll make a mistake by getting Lex and Terry to do mornings
*WFUR will still be a non-factor
*Hot FM will get Billy Bush for nights
*"Huge" Bill Simonson will still be around at the end of the year
*Matt Hanlon will weasel his way back up to top management at Townsquare
*Sean Terpstra will be back to being Sean Baligan's sidekick full-time
*WTKG will still be an abortion
*Funny 1410 will get no ratings

2011 PREDICTIONS I WAS RIGHT ON:
*GRD's still #1
*and sadly, that's it...
