Dallas was one of the first major FM markets. When I was there in the
mid 70s most of the high-rated stations were FM. Only WBAP and,
occasionally, KRLD would rank high among them. WBAP always being #1.
I suspect that history of FM makes them pay attention. It also has
flat terrain. It was a time when other markets rarely saw an FM in
the top10. There were lots of Class Cs on tall towers.
Starting in the mid-late 1960s, KRFM (FM), Phoenix was
#1 in the market, with beautiful music ... and
stayed that way for some time.
Some have suggested it was the first FM to reach
#1 in a market.
