Maybe someone bought two radio stations and didn't broadcast from them so they could turn on static rather than AA?

There can be stations from other markets that infiltrate the ratings in another market. For example, the smaller radio markets surrounding new York City, such as Monmouth/Ocean (NJ), Long Island, and Somerset/Middlesex (Central NJ) can manage to have some listeners in the NY Metro. It's possible those people that receive Arbitron diaries (these are mailed to random listeners to compute ratings - very archaic!) may live within the NY Metro area but listen to a local Central Jersey station, for example.

It can also work in reverse, such as the NY City stations showing up in the Monmouth/Ocean NJ ratings. You'd be surprised at the signal reach of the NY stations into the Nj suburbs along the shore.

As a former Jersey girl, I would think the two non-NYC stations that are showing up in the NY City metro ratings would be NJ 101.5 and WBLI (Long Island local). Just a guess.
