WVNU has been named Fayette County's #1 Radio Station for the second year in a row!

In a September independent survey of over 250 Fayette Countians, WVNU was NUMBER 1 in the important 25-54 demo. The survey was done by Radio Index/Todd Wallace Associates, an independent survey firm. Not only did you tell us who you listened to, you told us who you weren't listening to and why!
Radio Index completed one of the most comprehensive radio listener surveys ever conducted in Fayette County. All surveys were done by telephone, not by filling out diaries of your listening habits. In another survey conducted in 1996, only 56 people returned their diaries! Our survey covered almost 5 times that amount. Our survey asked you personally. And we didn't ask if you listened to a particular radio station. We asked who your favorite radio station was. The answer????

Thanks, Fayette County!

And congratulations to the #1 Country Format Station, K95.5 in Columbus! For local news, weather and sports, keep your radio tuned to
