What markets? and you're talking Jack stations right and not the 80's, 90's and Now full service Variety Hit Stations. There is a difference.

Well no, CHR and Country are proven formats!

Sorry, I still have my job. I just don't like being stuck in my car for an extra hour in traffic because one of the stations I turned to for news and traffic updates now just tells me to look out the window. I think most driving New Yorkers can relate with me on that!

This is a radio board, its mostly for people in the business. So, do you need me to define any of those? Or would you rather I just use smaller words!

All I can give is my opinions and the realities of it on people's lives. A station like JACK is a horrible idea in any market (but especially NY) where news, weather and traffic is important to the listeners commutes and ultimately their lives. <P ID="signature">______________
