Do you think Huntsville will ever have another top 40 station?

Do you think Huntsville will ever have another top 40 station to give WZYP some actual competition? Obviously it would have to be a real top 40 station and not lean too Hot AC during the day like ZYP. The only station I can think of that would even think about a format flip to top 40 (or a format flip in general) is Clear Channel's 100.3 The River. It's not doing too well in the ratings and is not a well established station like WAHR, WRTT, or WDRM.

I could see Clear Channel flipping 100.3 to a Kiss Station and having a true top 40 format. Sure they may have to do some voicetracking, like On-Air middays, but I think they could do some damage not only to WZYP but also WHWT since 103.5 has a crappy signal outside Huntsville city limits.

WRTT would be a second choice. Even though Fish's morning show, I feel, could be tweaked for a CHR format, I feel a lot of listeners would be way too up in arms if that station flipped.
 
It would be nice in Huntsville got a TRUE top 40, but I don't really see that happening soon. Maybe 100.3 The River could be a possibility but it seems like Clear Channel is committed to trying to make that format work so I don't see them giving it up just yet. The rocket isn't going anywhere LOL. Not after the success they've had!
