Flagstaff KVNA FM flips to The Peak

That's too bad. KVNA was the only commercial AAA in Arizona. I always thought Flagstaff was a perfect AAA market. A college mountain town with a large percentage of upscale income.

The Peak Rises In Flagstaff As AAA Departs
Yavapai Broadcasting flipped AAA “100.One” KVNA=FM Flagstaff AZ to Gold based AC "Peak 100.1". Described as "a musical journey through

Agree, they let the staff have some free rein musically, making a variety of songs.
Hopefully, Dennis Constantine and Lenny stay with Yavapai Broadcasting. Here's my two cents.
I agree. I also suspect that the suits at Yavapai Broadcasting have decided that going after older females with a gold-based AC format is more rewarding than the older males the AAA format was attracting.
It will be a 3 way battle in Flagstaff for AC listeners. KPPV and KTMG both have translators in Flagstaff that cover the city rather well. KVNA seems to be the most gold based of the three AC Sunny was the previous format before AAA, and wasn't working out So we'll see if they are successful this time around.
Dennis Constantine is such a great host. It makes me curious if he's still with Yavapai Broadcasting.
KVNA was my go-to music station. KPPV is similar, in some respects, just not with the Northern Arizona home base touches...

It's bold to tout the local aspects of radio while one or two of the formats YBC runs comes from syndication.The editorial below was written by Mike Jensen.

I know a 2 station cluster in Arizona that has an FM Hot AC and AM Classic country.. no local jocks on the AM, the FM is almost all syndicated except for a 1 hour community centric talk show/news, local news and a midday 1 or 2 hour throwback show. The community completely embraces the stations and theyre way more popular then the other cluster in town.
THe stations deliver on whats important... information/news
The previous KVNA format was one of the most local and unique offerings they had. Constantine did a good job there.

His argument would really have been strengthened if he had cited examples of emergencies where other information sources weren't available so listeners had to rely on local radio, particularly his stations, for assistance.
