Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 95.3 WKTN at none against CBS's shown. 95.3 WKTN also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 36%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). CBS's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (72K vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CBS holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CBS has 72K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of CBS's written reviews are positive against 50% of 95.3 WKTN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CBS ships an update fortnightly, 95.3 WKTN every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
