I checked out the NYC rating at rronline.com right
after they appeared, and noticed that included among
the top 25 stations 12-and-over was WWRU 1660 (not to
be confused with WWRL 1600, unless the diarists confused
the two).  It appears this is the second time (including
Arbitrends) that AM 1660 showed up.  Is this the only 
X-panded band AM in the country doing this well? Another
observation: a year ago or thereabouts, the Jibguy remarked that
WQXR-FM in NYC was number one overall in adjacent Westchester
County.  Now a little over a year later, the 12-and-over
number for QXR is down somewhat, although very high for a classical
outlet, but its position has moved downward considerably.
Someone on the NYC Radio Message Board in another context
opined that diaries in Westchester County are scattershot at best
and responses are below what Arbitron gets from the City.
All that has to happen is a for few people near the Bronx 
to turn in their books and the folks in Scarsdale to lose
them like a lottery player in Cleveland, and the numbers
can switch like a seesaw.
