"I don't think it is pure coincidence that we have seen strong ratings results with our stations in Portland since over the last 2-1/2 years. KGON, our classic rock station, has regained it's dominance with Men 25-54 - KRSK, our Hot AC is one of the preeminent stations in the format, while KWJJ The WOLF, has gained the number one slot for the format over the past three books. A fantastic track record since we started working with Pinnacle. We are thrilled with Pinnacle's service and dedication to our success."
--Jack Hutchison, VP/Market Manager, Entercom Portland

Twas the month before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring... Except the mouse on the computer as radio listeners hopped online to tell us how much they liked Christmas music on the radio.

Once again, Pinnacle Media Worldwide has tested the top 30 most-played holiday songs from 2005 according to Nielsen BDS in 5 American formats. Radio listeners were invited to rate the songs through Pinnacle Media's popular OnlineTRACKER™, online music research system. Listeners were recruited through Radio Music Survey.com and completed the survey from 6 - 19 November 2006.

Our online list includes the 2005 spin rank so you can see how the number of spins the song received last year correlates to the song's appeal.
