Hi meghan,
After searching for a few hours, I was able to obtain the top ten
highest ranking radio stations in Los Angeles, including the
percentage share of the audience for each station. I also have these
surveys from 1998 to the present for comparison. However, I wasn't
able to locate the data for a demographic breakdown. If the
information I have will suffice as an answer, let me know and I will
post it for you. Thanks.
Regards,
rainbow-ga

For various demographics, take a look at the first two sites I have
listed above. There you will find general information regarding
rankings according to time of day, rankings of the various shows, and
the popularity of radio stations according to overall age groups.

As you may notice, there is some missing data for the years 2001 and
2002. When I locate this information I will post it as a
clarification.


Search words used:
“radio stations” Los Angeles “top 10”
“highest rated” “radio stations” LA 
“Los Angeles” “radio stations” demographic breakdown


I hope the information I have provided is helpful. If you have any
questions regarding my answer, please don’t hesitate to ask and I will
further assist you as best as I can.
Best regards,
