Barrett Media\u2019s final Top 20 show category for 2025 is Afternoon Shows. Program Directors get recognized on Friday. Sports Radio stations get acknowledged on Monday. To stay updated on all of the Top 20 Major and Mid Market Sports Radio lists and learn what lies ahead for News\/Talk Radio, News TV and Music Radio, keep an eye on this\u00a0website<\/a>, our\u00a0newsletters<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0X<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0LinkedIn<\/a>,\u00a0TikTok<\/a>, and\/or\u00a0Instagram<\/a>.\u00a0Once the Top 20 series is complete, I will record a video discussing the key takeaways from this year\u2019s results. That video will be posted on the\u00a0Barrett Media YouTube page<\/a>.\u00a0Be sure to subscribe to be notified once it\u2019s live.<\/p>\n

As you review these results,\u00a0please remember that they represent the collective feedback shared by our industry voters.\u00a0Barrett Media does not vote in this process. Our role is to assemble the group, collect the votes, and present the information.<\/p>\n

Important Information<\/strong><\/p>\n

#1 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>These results are based on 2025\u2019s performance. 2026 changes have no effect on the voting.<\/p>\n

#2 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0We ask our voters to supply photos and logos to avoid headaches. Some comply, but most don\u2019t. It forces us to spend a lot of time digging for images to highlight everyone. For that reason, there are no photo changes unless it involves a mistake. Thanks in advance for understanding.<\/p>\n

#3 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Our Mid Market executive panel consists of thirty one (31) program directors and corporate executives from radio\u2019s top broadcasting companies. They include Audacy, iHeart, Cumulus, Beasley, Good Karma Brands, Bonneville, SiriusXM, ESPN Radio, FOX Sports Radio, Radio One, and a bunch of independently owned and operated radio stations. Our voting group is large because we want feedback from every part of the country. We also do that to assure the results don\u2019t favor any one media group.<\/p>\n

#4<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0The criteria for our voters included the ear test, originality, multi-platform impact, ratings success, clearance (national shows) and industry buzz. Keep in mind, our voters live in different cities, work for different companies, have different tastes, and value certain factors higher than others. This is not a perfect system but it\u2019s one we feel good about using to showcase the industry\u2019s best.<\/p>\n

#5<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>A total of 54 shows were eligible for voting consideration in the Mid Market Sports Radio Afternoon Shows category.<\/p>\n

And the Winner Is\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

The PM Team with Poni and Mueller\u00a0of 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh. This is the show\u2019s fifth time occupying the top slot including the past three years straight. Congrats to Chris Mueller, Andrew Filliponi and their entire crew on another strong year of recognition. <\/p>\n

I want to thank\u00a0Dylan Barrett<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for creating the artwork, and each voter who participated in the process. Now without further delay, here are Barrett Media\u2019s Top 20 Mid Market Sports Radio Afternoon Shows of 2025.<\/p>\n
