Binghamton 98.1 The Hawk Voicetracked?

I am a big fan of 98.1 The Hawk, but I've noticed that most of their shows are either voicetracked from another station or from a syndicated radio show. The only local morning show on the station is Glenn and Traci, but even then, they might be playing the same songs as Curt and Samm (who are also voicetracked). It's actually a similar situation to iHeartMedia's "Premium Choice" stations where most DJ's are voioetracked from another station instead of live.

Was this because of layoffs from Townsquare Media or not?

How would you notice? The Hawk is the #1 station in Binghamton. It has double the share of the #2 station.

I think this has been the lineup for a while. There probably isn't a lot of ad money in Binghamton.

Jess is on all of the Townsquare country stations. So is Taste of Country Nights.

They have a local PD. A lot of iHeart stations in markets this size don't.
