I remember when an AM station running the hard rock "Z-Rock"
format was being sold to an Asian-American owner who would
be flipping it to Korean a few years ago in NYC.
For the month before the station traded hands, the owners
removed Z-Rock and ran a satellite country format on the
station, I assume supplied by the same firm that distributed
Z-Rock. There were no commercials and NYC had a country FM
at the time. So it really wasn't designed to give country
on AM a try.
Clearly they didn't want to go from hard rock to Korean in
one move, concerned that some disgruntled rock fans might blame
the Korean community for the loss of their favorite station.
