The numbers are in for Nielsen’s latest sports talk ratings period, known as the “September Book,” even if it covers only Aug. 13 to Sept. 9.

4.7 for Sportsradio 1310 and 96.7 FM The Ticket
4.5 for 105.3 The Fan
2.0 for KESN-FM (103.3).
On a more intimate level, men 25-54 from Monday to Friday 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. when the big-name, high-priced local talent is on the air, it was: Ticket 5.8; Fan 4.2; KESN 2.2.
When it comes to individual shows, The Ticket’s Morning Musers remain head and shoulders above a crowded pack. Think of them as the legendary Secretariat racing against the rest of the Belmont field.
