Live 97.5 FM Ranks Top5 In The Salisbury/Ocean City Radio Market
The Salisbury/Ocean City Radio Market has over 40 radio stations. It has a population of 364,700 (Black 64,700 and Hispanic 23,900).
This Mid-Atlantic market that’s nestled in between, to the north, the sprawling metropolis of Philadelphia/Wilmington/Camden and to the south, Virginia’s Hampton Roads region . To the west is the DMV metropolis (D.C, Maryland and Northern Virginia) and the Charm City of Baltimore, MD, all within a two hour drive.
With that, comes a lot of diverse influence and culture. It also enables the radio market to tap into those diverse metropolises.
Live 97.5 FM (WKTT Rojo Broadcasting) has done just that, despite having only 4,500 watts of power received from its tower frequency. Live 97.5 FM was able to muscle its way up the ratings chart, despite its low wattage, competing against stations that have upwards of 50,000 watts of power.
A radio station’s wattage determines the geographical range of the station and how many listeners it will receive. The higher the wattage, the more listeners the radio station has access to and vice versa.
However, the internet and mobile streaming have become Live 97.5’s friend, gaining listeners, not just from the neighboring metropolises who travel to and through the area, but also throughout the nation and world.
