Alice Should Return!!

The hot AC Alice format should return to 93.7, and leave MP on 103.3. NOW you've dumped Burlington/Plattsburgh's only hot AC station. Should 92.1 flip to hot AC? Now you'll be split between Triple X, Kiss FM, The Point & Star. Star had experimented with hot AC by '99, but since the demise of The Lake, they returned to mainstream AC.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by PassDutch on 06/05/05 02:31 AM.</FONT></P>

If you flip 92.1, then Kiss FM wouldn't exist anymore. They only exist in the first place to cut enough into Triple X's numbers to make Star look better (or at least they attempt to). Typical divide-and-conquer cluster programming.

Besides, Burlington doesn't really need Hot AC. It's not a big enough market to support such a narrow format. If the women of Burlington-Plattsburgh want to hear contemporary music, they'll flip to Triple X or Star. That's the way it's been for 20 years. Nobody has come in and successfully taken much of an audience away from them. Remember B100? Yeah, I thought not.

92.9 is kind of between AC and Hot AC (at least during the day) aren't they? Seems like they cover both formats for Burlington.

Now this leaves Burlington/Plattsburgh with only ONE hot AC -- that is Y106.3 (WYZY-FM). You can flip 93.7 and leave MP alone instead.
