It's not mentioned very often because we all already know. Kind of like how no one talks about the fact that green means go....we just know it and already factor it in to our conversations.

QFT.

Notice how the big changes in 99x thread just below includes a posts asking how this affects Q100. Yet another application of the "given" knowledge.

Since Q100 is growing in ratings, Cumulus is less likely to make substantial changes to its programming. Since 99X is not growing, what Cumulus does with it is more a subject of discussion.

In regards to Q: Q100 seems to be carbon copied at Cumulus' other SE CHRs, like All The Hits Z102 in Savannah and All The Hits B95.1 in Macon.

With the same voice guy.

Why mess with what you have given to other markets? Q's numbers 18-34 are fine, they show growth...and I think they're beating Star in a couple of places. Q has just spent upwards of 14.3 trillion dollars on advertising, so I doubt they'll negate all that work by flipping to 99.7. Besides, how many Q listeners are in the boonies where X's signal passes Q's? And how many of them would ever get a diary? Not enough to spent trillions of more dollars and start from scratch.

Then, you'd also have to spend another 54.3 quadrillion to reteach the market where X went. Speaking of...99x is a legendary brand. You don't spend a boatload of money buying something and then change it something that isn't proven (FM Talk/Jack/etc). It will probably get tweaked. Hell, Toucher leaving was part of that tweaking I'm sure...but they aren't going to blow it up.

Thats just my opinion, I could be wrong.
