102.7 GNI and B 99.9

While not in the Wilmington, NC market both stations do come in well in Myrtle Beach, SC. 102.7 GNI is the one that comes in better. But what I am trying to get at is what formats are these stations. B 99.9 sounds like a Rhythmic/AC (but on R&R the format is Rhythmic Oldies) and for 102.7 GNI it sounds like a Adult Hits station (Jack) but on R&R it is said to be a AC which it doesn't sound like at all in my opinion. Could go for a Hot AC maybe but not AC. But 102.7 GNI sounds like a mess of a station, bad mix of music. So why doesn't one of these stations go with a good AC format? I see Next Media's WILT is AC and does somewhat well. But not sure how they sound as I haven't heard them. So people in Wilmington, NC what do you think of these two stations?
 
When I worked at WQSM many years ago,
we also owned WGNI.

The joke was that WGNI stood for
"We Got No Income"...since QSM paid the bills.

Of course WGNI really stood for "Good News, Inc.", the company that originally put it on the air as an AM station.

The best that jock acronym that I've ever heard was for WSFL in New Bern. Originally WSFL was "Wonderful Sounds For Living" when it was beautiful music. But when the station started its decent into the ratings cellar after ditching Album Rock, the jocks secretly said that WSFL meant "We Sound F###### Lousy". <P ID="signature">______________
