Maybe. It took a while for the entire story about the TJ show to be told.
They also syndicate a number of morning shows like TJ. There's also Broadway & Company, which is a country morning show. Or Lex & Terry, which is an active rock show.

Explain John Catsimatidis then
Lex and Terry is a great show
In that case, BOB FM is the more likely option of the two.
It WAS a great show… 30 years ago.
What's wrong with it now versus what it was like 30 years ago, besides Taint not being on any more? Southern Justin isn't on there either but he was a one trick pony and the show is better without him. He was too stupid to even make messing up the games funny.
Well, 30 years ago, it was just a local show on WFYV Rock 105 in Jacksonville, FL. It was just two guys having a good time, being funny, and being real. Somewhere along the way, they added characters and smut. They didn’t need to head in that direction. It just sounds contrived now.
WEPN-FM is now bilingual adult contemporary.

This format that keeps popping up in different markets to me is just a hype format I don't seen it working in the long run
@Mykel the Radio Fan I was hearing Jax "Victoria's Secret." Maybe that was on the stream only? Then again, they abruptly cut from Sia's "Cheap Thrills" to start playing the Jax song. Weird.
I heard what you just described over the air on 98.7 FM.
It's worked for about 7 decades all over Latin America, including Puerto Rico, USA, where stations like Fidelity, KQ-105, Mega and Hot all play some or lots of English songs with everything else in Spanish.
My first station in Quito played about 40% U.S. top 40 songs in English. But not all the hits in the US were hits in Ecuador.
This format will work in markets where there are lots of middle and upper income Hispanic first generation immigrants. New York is not one of them.
Who cares? The prior listeners will be gone, and the new ones, other than us, are not there.
It'll be interesting to see if Emmis elects to subscribe to Nielsen. I guess it depends on how long they expect to do this.
Based on the quote, it sounds like he intends to sell this format to advertisers, so he'll likely need some numbers to do that.
