Can't speak for the radio side, but FTV Live has reported morale has gone down the crapper at Cox's TV side since Apollo took over. The radio stations don't sound much, if any, different than they did before the change, but you can’t always tell what's going on behind the scenes.

Morale is down at every television station in America
AAA stations that are non com play it....Okay, I'm actually kinda jealous by some of the picks for Organic X.
NO ONE commercially plays Gorillaz' best record anymore. I want 91X to play On Melancholy Hill again
So…did the main transmitter get fixed? The signal has significantly improved over the last few weeks.
and that is one reason out of a million why they're more alternative than alternative is.
When 99X first came on the air in 1992, Album 88 said "well, we'll just go MORE alternative!"and that is one reason out of a million why they're more alternative than alternative is.
The alternative to the alternative?
I believe I would have had the company name (Cox) changed after I got the cash as part of the deal. These leveraged deals don't always work out and all of a sudden your last name is tied up in a big old bankruptcy not a good thing
The new company was originally going to be called "Terrier Media" until it agreed to acquire the Cox radio stations outside of Dayton. Keeping the Cox name likely had some monetary value for the new company as it was able to build upon the reputation it already had.
I wonder if there is a time limit on Apollo's use of the name.
Oh, and Terrier Media???
I guess there's not any anagrams you can make from Cox (compare Gannett and Tegna)
It’s been no secret that Apollo has been trying to sell the Cox radio stations. There don’t seem to be buyers for entire radio station groups. But last week, the Cox radio cluster in the Houston market was sold to Urban One. And that cluster includes 2 top-rated stations. I wonder whether more individual markets will be sold.
The college graduate in me thinks you may not understand what an anagram is. It's not a pun or play on words, but a rearranging of all the letters in a word to form a completely different word. The only anagrams possible with the letters c, o and x are cxo, ocx, oxc, xoc and xco, none of which are words.
From what I understand, all of the radio markets except Atlanta and Dayton are for sale.
The question, of course, is who might be interested in buying them. Hardly anyone is buying radio stations these days, even individual clusters. I suppose a semi-local company, like Tyler, could be interested in Tulsa, but, unless there are several of those, Cox is going to have to hope Urban One, Beasley, and/or Hubbard will come to the table.
Are there any Christian broadcasting organizations other than EMF who might be looking to take advantage of their cash flow and snap up a few more stations, especially if the only commercial entities interested are submitting lowball offers?
I noticed 99X has updated their playlist, I see a lot more stuff that is aligned with 91X's classic alternative rotations from the 80s-2000's, plus a few more 00s-10s stuff. That's neat. Though playing one of Fall Out Boy's poppiest hits (Young and Menance, a rather controversial song with fans due to the style), may not satisfy many older listeners haha
Reading on 99X’s Instagram page that another original voice will be coming back to 99X and will be revealed Wednesday at 7:20 on the Morning X. Any idea who it will be?
There are references to "All good things floating downstream." Most assuredly it is Steve Craig "floating downstream" from 97.1 The River.
So did they make an official announcement today? Didn’t catch Morning X today.
