In the recent Los Angeles ratings a AM station has topped the ratings for the first time in 20 years. The station KFI 640am tied with a spanish station for the number one position. Whats interesting is a good part of the ratings increase is because of its morning show host Bill Handel who is said to have gained a lot of Howard Sterns listeners when he went to Sirrus. The interesting part is Bill Handels show is nothing like Howard Sterns. Bill Handel talks about the news issues of the day and gives his opinion. I guess this means that in an age of Sirrus and XM radio as well as FM radio that an AM station can still survive and top the ratings.
