WOW! This is great! Now I can hear all my favorite HURBAN artists on ONE station!
 
Well with CC already owning Q102, power99, and wdas, I guess we can rule out CHR, and urban.

So I guess 104.5 will definitely be one of the following.

Alt Rock, Rock, Talk, Hurban, or Christian.

Hmmm, no country. I guess the rumors on that are now dead. Also sports(poor Julius), and oldies(altough rock might be good enough)
 
Is Clear Channel that nuts to flip a format without a PD?

It's not necessarily nuts, it's just major-market radio in 2006.

With no offense intended toward my PD friends, today's major-market program directors are more so traffic cops than station architects. That's what "Regional VPs of Programming" are for now.

I'm afraid the days of a Rick Sklar, a Jay Cook, or a Charlie Van Dyke coming in and changing the world are long gone in the major markets. (Andy Travis's decision as PD to simply walk in on Dr. Johnny Fever's airshift, hand him some rock records, and change the format on his own was unrealistic even back in 1978!)
