It’s the home of Ryan Seacrest and also the home of the most revenue for a single radio station in 2009. Clear Channel CHR KIIS-FM (102.7) brought in $55 million for 2009, down from $66.3 million in 2008. Bonneville’s all-news WTOP-FM, Washington (103.5) was second nationally, with $51.03 million, down slightly from 2008’s $51.75 million.
