My guess is if any station flips to Top 40 it will be WBCN. The situation is similar to New York. CBS dumped the low rated rock station not the mediocre rated AC. I realize WBCN has a much longer, more storied history than WXRK had. But that only counts for so much, Radio is a business not a museum.

WBMX is doing well, why mess with it? Especially because the demos are so attractive. CBS kept FRESH/NY so why would they change MIX a station that's more successful?

I see some people comment that MIX is close to CHR. Not really, especially compared to the breed of Top 40 CBS has been flipping stations to. Something that stands out about NOW/NY and AMP/LA is they heavily lean rhythmic and don't play pop rock like the Fray (I must be the only one who can't stand "You Found Me", it's my least favorite song of 2009 so far). Mix would share very little music with the new station besides a couple of songs like "Just Dance" and "Single Ladies'. MIX could even tweak a little and drop anything rhythmic sounding so there would be little overlap.

It's always good to know you are not the only one. I have the same reaction. That song is over the top "tortured soul" music for my tastes. Somebody must like it though, it is a big hit.
