Format flips

Do you see any format flips on the horizon in Philly. I think other than 106.1 the only other station that i remember getting a format flip in Philly was 104.5 in 2007

There is no other viable format for a 50 kw AM... even if it has rather limited coverage today.
 
I vote for Hungarian folk songs! that's a new format that somebody should take a chance on! LMFAO!!!! OR, split that out and half Hungarian folk songs during the day, Polka at night! kill two birds! Or maybe it should be the other way since Hungarian folk songs would be more relaxing at night?
 
Speaking of unreal format, wasn't there a stunt at some point that the stations asked people to send in their iPods of music and the station actually played them? Dunno where that was or if I'm just dreaming...

The only station I could POSSIBLY... very remotely... see flipping might be WEMG 1310/105.7. They entered bankruptcy recently, even though ratings wise they're doing ok versus WHAT 1340/99.9 and WUMR 106.1. Could the station be sold to a new operator? Could they come out of bankruptcy? Who knows. We'll just have to wait and see.
 
But WUMR haven't had a chance to fail or not fail, so it's not fair to compare them at this point.

I still think 96.5 will flip sometime soon. Might be more of an evolution than an outright flip. For example, I could see them going Rhythmic AC or a mostly Rhythmic AC direction. Conversely, maybe something much more dramatic such as a flip to Country or to Classic Rock?

96.5 has to be the weakest station in the Audacy cluster by a wide margin

A second country station in Philadelphia? How much of an audience do you think it would be able to peel off from WXTU?
