AC Stations that are Hot AC-driven

T

Any Adult Contemporary stations that are Hot AC driven in your area?

I do know that 103.7 KVIL in Dallas/Fort Worth has retooled its heritage AC format to play the "Best Variety...90s, 2k, and Today". Almost sounding like its Hot AC competitor station KDMX 102.9 Now.

Also, WCFS-FM 105.9 (before they simulcasted WBBM NewsRadio) in Chicago also has something similar named "Fresh 105.9" (still can be heard on 105.9 HD2).
 
WDOK/ Cleveland is sounding more Hot AC than a number of Hot ACs I've listened to. Notice the common theme here: CBS ACs tend to be more Hot AC friendly. In fact, WIAD and WWFS fully flipped to Hot AC in the past couple years. I wonder if Fresh in St. Louis has gone more Hot.
 
WLNK Charlotte, NC is one of those stations for which people on this site debate whether it is actually Hot AC. It was Hot AC but has begun leaning more mainstream, but not all the way mainstream.

Its competition WKQC (CBS) was mainstream to soft but now may be leaning Hot AC.
 
There was a discussion about Star 92.1 in Myrtle Beach, SC. They made a distinct change in their sound and how they promoted themselves a few years ago and when I heard certain songs that didn't belong, I asked on this site about it. Others agreed it was Hot AC. Even after AC evolved to sound more like that station, people on this site almost always say Star is Hot AC. It is the de facto AC for the market, although WLQB, which reaches only part of the area, debuted its AC format recently.

B-106 in Columbia, SC has gone through a similar transition and has no AC competition.
