Smart move as Albany doesn't exactly have a big black population.

Thats true. But then again it might have something to do with the new PD they hired to replace [former PD]Sugarbear and turn around their sagging ratings. And this one has Rhythmic credentials.

Well they have been playing BEP, (BLEEP) Cat Dolls, Nina Sky and some other CHR/RHY tracks across dayparts. Plus they dropped some of the weekend programming that had several people scratching their heads like the Neo Soul Lounge, and a Gospel show. So it seems the station was headed in a more CHR/RHY direction for a several weeks.

Good luck to them cause the guys at the CC station won't make it easy. Should be fun to watch things play out.<P ID="signature">______________
