POWER 106.1
When was the last time Cox launched an Urban station? This would be great for Duval, but Cox tends to do more Rhythmic and Urban AC than straight Urban Hip-Hop. The last Urban "POWER" station Cox launched was in Birmingham and it's an Old School Hip-Hop translator with Rickey Smiley in the mornings. Hmmm

I'm pretty sure 100,000 watt 93.3 is not worried about 225 watt 106.1. How many translators do you see winning? Exactly.

Actually, there was one newer Cox launch than that: "105-1 Jamz" via WALJ-FM Northport/Tuscaloosa (owned by Apex Broadcasting, leased by Cox).

They did launch the WBHJ/WBHK urban couplet in Birmingham in 1996 and ran WENN off the air, so that's a 16 year time difference.

Not counting the stations Cox aquired from other owners (i.e. WALR or WHQT), they did launch rhythmics in Houston (KTHT), San Antonio (KPWT) and Atlanta (WBTS - originally a pop chr) which are all defunct; so the only surviving rhythmic is WZHT in Greenville. Atlanta also had hot urban WFOX once.

It's a translator. Any format they put on it will flop. The signal's just not strong enough.

That signal covers Jacksonville very well..im sure they didnt put it there to be number one..but it shall knock down the beat..and plus who knows if it does well enough..they could put it on a more powerful signal..a couple of their stations are 100k watters but they suck in the ratings.
