LINK - CRITICS said it wouldn't happen - but all-liberal WLIB is seriously challenging talk-radio rivals WABC and WOR.WOR on the other hand...is over.
According to Arbitron ratings released yesterday, WLIB thrashed WOR and nipped at the heels of top-dog WABC among the 25- to 54-year-old listeners advertisers chase.
"The elections are giving them an added boost in a largely liberal town, [and] they're benefiting from the whole Bush-Kerry thing," said Mark Lefkowitz of the Furman Roth ad agency.
"WABC has proven that it works in election years and not, [so] it'll be interesting to see what happens to WLIB...after the November election," Lefkowitz told The Post.
During midday, when both stations roll out their top guns - WABC's Rush Limbaugh vs. Air America's Al Franken - WABC is ranked 15th in listeners 25-54, followed closely by WLIB, which ranked 18th.
WOR trails badly, finishing 27th in midday.
