If you could choose your own format for a station here...
- Thread starter Retro
- Start date
God I would like that too
My dream format would basically be progressive CHR.
Today's hits in lighter rotation and 7 decades of classics.
It would be rhythmic heavy and light on the rap.
There would be a rotation schedule of the currents but the Djs would have input into what else gets played.

Punk country
In effect Boston Herald radio is doing that, with ex-WXKS talker Jeff Katz (who now writes for them too), then a show called Morning Meeting (Jac. Cashman & occasional RKO host Joe Battenfeld I think), then they pick up Michael Graham's regionally syndicated show, then sports with Meterperel and Royle. All local, though you can hear it only on comp. or smartphone (they run ads, too). Something like that might be good but would it make a lot of money on a terrestrial station? The Herald is using it to maybe help promote the paper
(and sell some ads) and the Globe has their own RadioBDC operation, etc.
RKO has Kuhner and Carr for locals, then does some brokered with the financial stuff late morning, and finally syndies like Rush,
Levin, Savage, etc. Could it work out all-local daytime hours? Would they want to spend the money or would another station
try it? The failure of WTKK and WXKS (AM)--the latter did have Katz and Severin for locals--might make it doubtful. Sure
a smaller station could try it (590, 1260, 1510--though they have their own commitments, as of course do the others), and I
don't think an FM would try it...You have RKO, BZ at night, and some shows on BUR and GBH I think (Eagan and Braude for
example) and the smaller stations running Graham. Would a station go for the WPRO approach, for an older demo that likes
talk radio?
