Arbitron released the Chicago November PPM numbers yesterday. While we enjoy perusing these numbers each month, this month is particularly compelling, as this ratings period represents a period of time after the baseball season and the in the heart of the 2008 election. So which Chicago stations benefitted most?

In the overall persons 6+ rankings, WBBM-AM maintained its grip on first place, followed by Citadel’s WLS-FM and WLS-AM.

WGN-AM dropped from second place all the way down to seventh, due in large part to the end of the Cubs seasons.

WSCR-AM also suffered from the end of the baseball season, dropping from a 2.9 to a 1.7, tying the station with rival sports talker WMVP-AM.

Other disappointing showings were turned in by WKQX-FM, which dropped to a 1.6.  Meanwhile, CBS’ WJMK-FM continues to flounder with a 1.8 for the third consecutive month.

Looking at the so-called “money demo” of persons 25-54, the big winner was WVAZ-FM, which took the top spot, followed by WDRV-FM, WOJO-FM, and WBBM-AM.

Conspicuous by its absence from the persons 25-54 top 20? WGN-AM.

In morning drive, Eric & Kathy on WTMX-FM are on top of the heap, while mid-days belong to WDRV-FM and WOJO-FM owns afternoon drive.

Conspicuous by his absence from the persons 25-54 top 20 in morning drive? Steve Dahl.
