Flip 95.7 or 104.1

One of these stations should be flipped to Urban AC. Kiss doesn't sound that good and Power we don't really need. It would do well in the market I say. 104.1 already has Steve Harvey in the morning so that would be a good station to go Urban AC. Im not a big listener of this format but it would be good to have this format in this market.
 
Why fix whats already broken. Just make 95.7 a Spanish format. Wait make it Urban AC and put Spanish on 104.1 as 95.7 is stronger signal. And then leave CHR to 96.5 TIC.
 
Its so dumb to hear the same song on 3 stations at once now on occasion and all the time at different times...
hip hop/top 40 sucks this summer. my friends even agree.
KC 101, kiss 95.7, and power 104.1.
aren't they all owned by what is left of Clear channel?

Most of the other CHR stations owned by Clear Channel sound like crap just like KISS does. Right now I'm on vacation in the Philly area and sampled Q-102. Horrible. Just like KISS here in Hartford, Q speeds up the music way too much. The song "Suicidal" by Sean Kingston sound really bad on The Q.

Ever since the failure of RUMBA in Philly, I'm no longer advocating an FM Spanish Station here in Hartford. RUMBA in Philly was a full-powered FM signal and they still got their butt wholloped in the ratings by a staticy suburban AM Spanish Station.
 
Kiss 95.7 stays CHR and Power 104.1 stays R&B/hip-hop. You don't sacrifice 2 stations that have big signals from West Peak unless you have major ratings/billing problems.

Also, Rumba in Philadelphia was moved to an AM station that had been running gospel. (Philly has had a gospel FM for nearly 2 years now).
 
when the stations finnaly sell in hartford, im sure there will be alot of changes

It's too bad, bucause Q 102 used to be the s**t back in the day. CC destroyed another great CHR.
Interesting you mention RUMBA too. What did they flip to? Alternative!! :)

Yes, Q102 pitches up their music WHICH IS WHAT CHR STATIONS DO AND SHOULD DO. they sound good.

That song by Sean Kingston is called "Beautiful Girls" not suicidal. Just thought I would correct you. Just to add has Hot, Kiss, or Power edited this song by taking out suicidal? Cause I heard this song being played on Power 98 in Charlotte, NC and they took that word out.

Thanks for the correcting me on the title of the song. I wasn't aware of it until yesterday when I saw the video on BET. Anyway HOT 93.7 doesn't edit it and neiter does POWER 104. I don't listen to KISS 95.7 very often, so I haven't had a chance to hear if they even play the song. Meanwhile the aforementioned Q-102 in Philly doesn't edit it.
 
Urban A/C( WYBC get some ratings in Hartford on a weak signal from New Haven CT) will be great in Hartford CT .

On Power 98 in Charlotte, NC when I was their visting they replace the word "suicidal" with "in denial". It doesn't sound good that way. But sister station Kiss 95.1 in Charlotte, NC plays it with the word suicidal in it. Also both are owned by CBS Radio so thats why I thought maybe Hot 93.7 might edit the word "suicidal" with "in denial" or just leave it blank like MTV does.
