Not So "Hot"....

What on earth could they possibly flip to? I wonder if they just dismissed the airstaff as a cost-saving move. Right before Christmas. Just like Satan would do.

Yep. The other board is reporting that the entire air-staff has been let go and
All personalities have been wiped from the station’s website.
registrations for BoomPhilly.com and Boom1079Philly.com were made by Radio-One’s regular domain registrar this afternoon, according to a report.
 
Are there any Boom stations in the US? The only one I have ever heard of was when I was in Toronto this past summer. And if Radio One didn't care to continue Y100 here in Philly, they certainly aren't about to jump into mainstream AC!
 
hot 107.9

My guess they be like the. Ststion station in houston is bloom 92.1fm i am sure. Won't hurt the other station we see how it does with the rating in philly

I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN! With that signal and format, theres no way urban will last unless they switch it to Old School Hip-Hop since no station supports it even tho the Hip-Hop and Rap catalog is more then 3 decades old. Listeners for 24-54 do not like urban music thats on the radio. Alot of us are left out and we are not trying to listen to r&b all day.
 
Sounds like they are trying to bring Classic Hip-Hop to Philadelphia. The only problem with this is they already have a "Old School" station at 100.3, and given Radio-One's history with the cluster in Philadelphia this isn't going to translate into success.
 
I would have thought Radio-one would have wanted to Watch What goes down @ 96.5 once CBS takes over
hots Numbers would have went up with the Demise of Wired
 
At this rate CBS should keep WRDW Rhythmic and make it more like WPGC or WZMX. If it can work for those stations why not Wired?
 
I can see classic Hip Hop working on 107.9. Although I'd rather have it be classic rock deep-tracks format. But hey. We'll see who wins, either 1003. or 107.9? When will the station flip? By December?
 
Well we all knew it would not be some sort of Rock or White oriented format. You go Rac*** one.
 
So maybe someone can describe what the difference is between 100.3 WRNB and 107.9 WPHI? They're both owned by Radio One and they're both going after the same Adult Urban audience? Add WDAS-FM and that's three Adult Urban stations. So WUSL is the only youthful Urban station, with WRDW being more of a Rhythmic Top 40?

Someone said 107.9 WPHI is copying Radio One's Houston station KROI. But that station only flipped to this new format a few weeks ago. They don't want to wait to see how it does in Houston first?
 
WRNB is aiming 45+ easy. ADULT adult. WPHI's target is more the 25-35 demo, "young adult"- people who were in highschool the from the early 90's through late 2000's. One station for mom, one for the next generation.
 
Misleading thread title. I thought this thread would be for reminicising (negatively) about 'CAU-FM (which helped me get through grad school at 'Nova).
