Is News/Information from Cumulus coming to the ATL?
- Thread starter wpb1999
- Start date
KGO/810 was a surprise. KLIF/570 has been floundering for years and will get help from WBAP/820. WGST probably has first right of refusal on Rusty's TRN show. Coast-To-Coast is a CC product, so it's not going anywhere. Red Eye Radio is a possibility.
Now.....which station do you kill off?
Cumulus, CBS, and Radio One aren't going to put an All News station in Atlanta anytime soon. It may happen when every other format has been tried and exhausted.
If someone attempts All News in Atlanta, it would probably include TRN's America's Radio News.
Time will tell, but we'll see Classical Hip Hop New Wave Jammin Polka before All News. ;D ;D

True, but it would be nice to have a "spoken word" format that was not as confrontational as the political talk folks. If you have to have a radio / TV talking head tell you how to vote then maybe you should not vote. My mind is made up please do not try to confuse me with the truth.
In a perfect world, there would be at least 2 market covering stations of every type of format. Even in house (WCBS / WINS) makes a competitor everybody stronger. With the industry over leveraged, the economics will not work. But a good old fashion "radio war" is great for the listeners. I can remember the WLS / WCFL war of the late 60's and early 1970's, mid 70's WMAK / WLAC in Nashville. Atlanta's Gary Mckee 94Q / and Ross and Wilson at Z93 in the late 1970's was some of the best AM drive IMHO ever. Y106 and Kicks was great listening and I didn't even like country. There is a war in Urban and Country right now but the rest of Atlanta's stations except Star 94 are a getting a little stale, IMHO.
