Same old country at WZZK. I was hoping they might flip to older country and be the legends, and give the current FM format to the AM. That was what I thought they meant when they said we're turning WZZK "upside down." Now, when's NCB flipping? That has been the biggest joke on FM radio since they took away my 70's hit radio and oldies. I'd love to see them maybe make it into a legends type station playing the classic country.

I'm guessing if YOU were on the staff that was cut, it would be
a major change! As for playing the 'legends'...a lot of people
say they want to hear them...but not a lot will listen long when
they're played. In most (not all) cases...playing the old cuts fails.<P ID="signature">______________
but wait...there's more!</P>

Ratings. Jay probably doesn't have access to them, but I do. WBAM flipped to country in late March of 2004. Listening habits are developed months before the book starts, but the Spring 2004 book was still up over the previous CHR book. The trends have continued to go up, especially with men. Bama Country actually beats WLWI in men 10am-3pm. The switch continues daily. A radio station doesn't have to be #1 to make money and that's what Bama Country is doing...making money.

Another Country Station That's Having Success With the Legends
Catfish Country, WNPT 102.9 FM, Marion/Tuscaloosa. I don't know where they stand in the ratings but I always hear them say we are number 1.
This station is doing very well, in a market that has mostly Hip-Hop and Classic Soul on the airwaves.
I'm amazed that this station is still experiencing success.
Glad that this station dropped Paul Finebaum and the JRN Classic Country feed. This station sounds much better, with live and local programming.
RDP <><
P.S. To Rockman 2004, if you are able to pick up 102.9 WNPT FM, you should check them out. They mix the classics with the currents. This radio station would be idea for you, since you like the Oldies.
