Health of smooth jazz in Orlando

Just reading some radio news, and saw the reports of two smooth jazz formats switching to new offerings.
How's the health of 'OQ? Not predicting or otherwise, just curious as to how it is doing in the radio landscape?
 
looking at their current playlist they are moving toward the A/C-UAC "Smooth A/C" approach. My crystal ball says they automate a few more dayparts, shift to more lite vocals and become a hipper sounding version of The Dove (Tampa/St. Pete). EZ with soft vocals that have more of a "hipness factor" than Neil Diamond and Bread. It's very sad but their heritage is irrelevant to the current ownership/management. Take the money and run.
 
I listen to this station when I feel like chilling out while driving. I do notice a change in their imaging a little bit, so I can agree that they are starting to lean more towards the Soft AC/EZ Listening format with more vocals.

I surf the FM dial, so I notice other minor changes in programming on other stations, too, not just WLOQ.
