Why didn’t they keep POWER 102.9 as Urban? Can’t believe Q93 is the only HipHop/R&B station in town.


Wouldn’t be surprised if Core Communications is shopping and determining ways to bring a “Streetz” station to New Orleans. They once had HOT there before Katrina and they’ve returned to all the markets they once had as On Top Communications.

What station would even be in the market? I don't see Costello selling his signals. Perhaps a translator?

Fieldtech1 is correct; Remember Mike had to build a brand new station from scratch. There was no transmitter and studio equipment when On Top lost everything after Katrina.
As for Power 102.9 with a small signal was constantly getting killed by Q93 and WYLD. I liked the Classic Hits format of 106.7 Sad to see Cumlus destroy another cool station.
I am suprised they haven't done the same thing to 103.3 WRQQ Hammond
