Is KOOL leaning towards Classic Hits??

Do you think that KOOL will do the same thing as like Tampa Bay's Oldies 104.7 did and lean towards a broader mix of music, Classic Hits (still keeping the Oldies but adding 80's) and basically become Classic Hits but a wider range of music than the Eagle. To me the Eagle sounds more of a Classic Rock station then it does a Classic Hits station. With KOOL adding more music then the old COOL had would the assumption be that they are going to lean for Classic Hits eventually (still keeping the 60's in the rotation but adding 80's into the mix which could help boost listners and bring in more advertsind dollars). It is something I am noticing as some sites list their sister station KOMA-FM in OKC as a Classic Hits station and not a Oldies Station. Let your opinion ring out here.

Unfortunately this seems to be the trend. Of course WKQL is already there, where Kool & The Gang's "Celebration" sticks out like a sore thumb.

Have you listened to Eagle lately. This morning I heard summer breeze followed by a Police song in the 10 am hour.ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Are they rock, Top 40 or AC
The madness!
