I have a feeling that Emmis' descision to flip KZLA to Adult Rhythmic Top 40 might help them now that it gives them a combo in Los Angeles to sell. Clear Channel uses their four stations to protect KIIS, so Emmis now has a flanker that helps out KPWR without cannibalizing them.
As for KBIG, I also have a feeling CC will find a way to retaliate as this latest salvo heats up.
