LET'S REVIEW! Here's what's happening in just a couple of weeks at the Clear Channel "cluster" (that's a group of stations) located in Greensboro, NC (not very far from the Piedmont Triad International Airport, which is known by the symbol GSO to the FAA types)
99.5--Will stop playing Christmas music and go back to Adult Contemporary (some say Lite Rock) music
100.3--Will stay exactly as it is, playing the same rock and roll music that young adult males enjoy
104.1--Will continue to play country music
105.7--Will continue to play music aimed at 14-year-old girls (That Miley has a solid hit on her hands with "Party in the USA")
HERE'S WHERE IT GETS A LITTLE TRICKY, SO I NEED YOUR FULL CONCENTRATION!
94.5 (Which was WXRA in the early 90's and then it was classic country and then it was hippy hoppy/CHR or some might say CHUrban--remember that?) Will not have people SPEAKING SPANISH OR people SINGING IN SPANISH
The new FORMAT (that's a really fancy name that radio insiders use) will feature people speaking ENGLISH and they will tell you that America is coming to a bitter and cataclysmic END. There are only two things you can possibly do to avoid the utter collapse of the country you love so dearly (according to these hosts):
1) Vote Republican in the 2010 mid-term elections
and
2) Buy lots and lots of gold
The reason 100.3 is running announcements promoting the change (these are called promos in the business, btw) is that they want to attract attention to their "sister" station (94.5, remember?). They are NOT running these "promos" because they (100.3) are changing ANYTHING.
I hope this clears up some things
