Philly's BIN 106.1?
Various versions of Mix 95.7, Mix 106.1, 96.5 the Point as some form of Hot AC.
Today's 96.5... although that was flipped because, well, B101 became their sister station.
Honestly, I don't. One might assume that the reason for simulcasting Q102 will eventually make itself apparent but until that happens, the whole thing just doesn't make sense. Change the name of the station, tweak the library to basically what it was under the Mix 106.1 moniker, and let it fly. What they're doing right now is basically flushing whatever audience base they had built for themselves.
“People” want their businesses to maximize potential profitability. If their data says this effort just didn’t make the cut, and/or something else might do better on that score, they make a change. It has zero to do with what you take issue with as a format.
Remember when everyone was saying that 106.1 wasn't going to change?. Well expect the unexpected
I chuckled at the mention of it. I firmly believe there is zero-chance that they blew up an AC format on a solid signal to replace it with The Gambler.
Guilty as charged.
I thought of that just after hitting post. I’d actually call that less bizarre than some scenarios. Not that I think it happens by any stretch. Buuuuuutttt………
Do you have access to WRFF's male numbers or are you just using your testosterone-rock preferences as a one-size-fits-all template for a "good" rock station?
Not sure how 100.3 is allowed to be on the frequency it is with Z100 on 100.3 in NYC and co-channel WJRZ on 100.1 and WBIG in DC.
Go back a little further and count the time 101 was still EZ with the format that just got a new name. They emerged victorious from the 100/101/103/104.5 battle—the last man standing proverbially. Then all the rest that came and went with varying success.
It doesn't seem like they have one to put on!
The original 100.3 signed on in the early 1960's, before the spacing rules were what they are today. There are stations up and down the East Coast that couldn't be licensed today for spacing reasons.
That station lost its license in the early 1970's, but the allotment was preserved. WRNB traces itself back to the replacement for that allotment, which was licensed in the early 80's.
Given how long they did the same basic thing in Seattle, that shouldn’t come as a surprise. Not that it will or won’t follow the template, just that there is no reason to expect any particular outcome in the absence of more information.
Remember, then-Clear Channel shadowcasted 106.1 and 104.5 for 13 days before launching Rumba on 104.5
We could be anxiously waiting and speculating for a while
