Is it Just Me...

...Or has WNEW become the 21st Century equivilant of what the old WPIX-FM was in the 70s and 80s? Y'know, a Merry-go-round of formats that no one can seem to agree on until ultimately an anti-climactic conclusion of sorts is reached?

It's just you.

Next time, do a headline that says what your post is about. I will never get back the 15 seconds it took me to read a post on a topic I care nothing about.

And learn how to spell "equivalent."

You may somewhat be right. Seems like a "Blink III", with a new "Fresh" package. We all can recall WPIX-FM to be the "format-of-the-month club". As soon as a format would even show some kind of a "following", 'PIX would change the format to something else. (IMHO, 101.9 was probably a tax write-off for the Daily News a common occurence for a station, commonly owned by a local newspaper.)

To tell you the truth, the "Fresh" logo seems somewhat reminiscent to the "Blink" logo to me.

Mix wasn't a bad station, IMO, but it was scavenging for crumbs in an oversaturated niche. The format really wasn't showing any growth, so it makes sense, for once, that CBS chose to pull the plug.

It can be argued that Blink II was showing some growth before the long X-mas music stunt and the introduction of Mix, but I don't think there was any growth in the Mix format after all this time.

Indeed, the logo is very reminiscent to Blink.

Precisely! In the 15 seconds it took to read the original post and the 30 seconds needed to write a response, we could have discovered the cure for cancer. Instead, we choose to troll message boards parsing posts for errors in grammar, syntax and spelling. You'll excuse me now, I'm off to spell-check The New York Times.
