"Kiss is way too young for the money demo, and in Cleveland...CC needs to make money.
I could see them leaning MIX a few years younger, but still remaining a Hot AC. This would potentially force WQAL to pick up the 18-34 slack, but still remaining relevant to 18-49."
Nah. Look at Z100 in New York, KISS in LA, KISS in Boston, etc. Clear Channel CHRs that are all right at the top of the 12+ ratings, with huge 18-34s. Big billing.
I don't think that CC wants to split Hot/AC with WQAL in Cleveland.
