Finally...maybe Mapleton will take those two dog stations and deliver something exciting for SLO county. Plus they've been revenue weights around the necks of AGM/Salisbury...time to dump the hip-hop and piped in talk.

why dump hip hop? the only hip hop station
 
It's just not a big enough revenue generator in this market. They would be better off turning it into a (rhythmic) top-40 or a hot AC since there is not a top-40 in the market anymore.
