Hot 92/Hot 100 simulcast

It almost seems that Forever intends to give up on young listeners. They put 'Hot' on the 92.1 signal, that reaches less distance (although may sound better in most locations). They also cut power to 'Hot 100' to move Lite 99.5. Don't forget they closed the book on 'Hot 103' all together! So now they have the format backed into a corner on the lowest power stations, with minimal jocks. Also, the 'Rocky' stations appear to be reaching more toward the 45+ age group, with mostly a 70s focus. Do they plan to sell off before today's youth matter in the world of sales? If so, will any potential buyer look and see that they have conceded young listeners to alternative sources of listening? Have they admitted like gadgets like mp3 players, satellite radio, and the Internet are superrior to their brand of cookiecutter FM radio? Is there more simulcasting on the way? Tune in next week to see what happens to our heros.

Apparently they are now simulcasting more than the morning show. Sounds like Noon-6pm.

Actually, if I understand correctly the morning show is still simulcast, then from 9am to noon, its Reed on Hot 100 (who is also now listed as the PD) and Wright is on Hot 92 so they are still doing seperate programming. Mitch Edwards is still the PD of Hot 92 so other than mornings they are still 2 very seperate stations (unless something different has happened in the last few days)

Mitch was on today from noon-6pm, Id'ing the station as "Hot 92 and 100".

Well that is indeed interesting...but not shocking to any of us I assume.

Too bad...yet another decent pair of stations apparently tossed to the dogs

Question: Who cares about these stations and why?
 
Why does anybody care about any particular station? A lot of time is spent on WGMR and WBHV on this board. 100.1 and 92.1 have certainly been more successful in their formats than either State College station.
 
Hey Pilot, It is a board for two markets, once again you prove that big brain of yours works so well. Maybe you should educate yourself before you become the board smartass.
