93.5 THE BEAT & 102.3 KJLH URBAN AC?

E

While I was visiting LA for the weekend, I heard 93.5 and 102.3 for the first time. Both station sounds more URBAN than Urban AC. I thought URBAN AC don't play artists like T.I. or Ludarcris? Also, I thought KJLH have all weekend glospel music, what happened?
 
The problem is there is no longer any room for either of them in Los Angeles under the PPM, current competition and no growth in the black population in Los Angeles. Both could go away and it would not matter. There really is no room for any urban or urban ac station beyond their closest competitors, Hot 92 and Power 106 (or even The Wave). I don't expect Stevie to go away but 93.5 has no future as any type of urban, urban AC or urban anything. Los Angeles could not support an Urban such as the original The Beat today.

Considering KKBT played the likes of Vanilla Ice (Ice, Ice Baby), Naughty by Nature (OPP), Tag Team (Whoomp! - There it is) & Wreckx-N-Effect (Rump Shaker) when it considered itself an Urban AC, I wouldn't label these stations much beyond an Urban AC.

Gospel Sunday's not Gospel Weekends.
