Here are the Twin Cities radio ratings for Christmas 2024
KOOL 108 continued its reign as the undisputed king of Christmas in the Twin Cities radio market.
The latest Nielsen ratings for the Twin Cities for December and early January confirmed the Christmas music powerhouse topped the table with a 14.6 rating.
In second place was KFAN with an 11.9 rating, a dramatic increase on the 6.8 it posted over Christmas 2023, benefiting this time from the Vikings having an outstanding 14-3 regular season.
The reporting period for the Christmas period ended on Jan. 8, five days before the Vikings were disappointingly dumped out of the playoffs by the Los Angeles Rams.
The Nielsen Ratings are based on average quarter hour share for people ages 6 and up between 6 a.m. and midnight, Monday-Sunday. Shares are based on the number of people in the metro market who are listening at a given time.
