Spring, Summer, Fall summary for 1999.

This is the last full book before Rush and Laura switched to PHT.  The winter book will be a partial representation since they didn't move until the book started.  The next full book will be the Spring book due out in July.  It won't be until then that a realistic trend will be fully evident.  Even that will be somewhat early.  Radio insiders insist a full year will really tell the tale.

WPHT, 12+, Monday - Sunday, 6 am - midnight, 
Spring 99     1.1    (21)
Summer 99  1.7    (20) 
FALL 99          .8   (23)

WWDB, 12+, Monday - Sunday, 6 am - midnight,
