Maybe a new morning show...format change. Who knows

 

[MarkW]

Cumulus would have to be insane to change 107.7's format. Won't rule out a tweak.

Maybe to Active Rock?

There's a growing format, with massive advertiser appeal in a market with those demographics.

*sarcasm

 

[Theater of My Mind]

35 years. What so many of these cuts have in common across all of these stories is the age of the employees. They weren't fired for cause. The companies all blame budget cuts but they choose to cut the older employees. Age discrimination is alive and well at radio despite supposedly being a protected class.

 

[Mark Roberts]

Maybe they try country.

I can’t tell whether or not I’m joking.

Alternatively: a KFOG revival.

Honestly, I disliked the Cumulus era KFOG to a degree where their attempting to revive it would likely just be an embarrassment. When they tried Triple A in Dallas and Houston, it was very bland.

Because the older employees get paid more. Thus they're a budget problem.

Doubtful.

I won't rule out an integration of some classic alternative product.

Where and when did they try AAA in Houston? All Cumulus has there is KRBE. I think KRBE will go AAA the day the San Jacinto Monument falls down.

 

[Street Novelist]

Maybe to Active Rock?

That would get even lower ratings.

 

[sfradio]

Maybe they are going to KNBR?

103.7 KHJK in the Houston market before they sold it to EMF.

 

[HenryOchs]

Maybe they are going to KNBR?

Or maybe to 102.7 KIIS-FM, replacing Ryan Seacrest, who should focus on his 72,000 other duties

Thanks but it's a Beaumont rimshot whose theoretical coverage doesn't make it to Bellaire. So it would have been handicapped from the get-go.

 

[Negin]

Hopefully KSAN don't fall to the EMF virus.

Of course it was; that's why the ratings were awful, and it's why Cumulus ultimately sold the station.
