Now that lou is no more. What other clear channel stations are on the brink of flipping? WTFX recently got rid of local DJ's and changed to a more alternative rock format.
WQMF seems to be the station that needs the biggest change. SFR plays the same tired list of 200 songs that they played 10 years ago, and they still beat QMF. A tiny #53 market like Louiville doesn't have room for two classic rocks stations with nearly identical playlists. If it was not for Bob and Tom, QMF would have been dead long ago.
Recently, QMF seems to have made some cuts. Mel is gone. So is the request noon hour that has been a staple for years. They actually removed songs from their playlist. They are even simulcasting WFBQ in the evenings.
I have been critical of QMF ever since clear channel took over and switched to classic rock. I would like to see them to switch to an updated version of the old AOR format. New rock, old rock, classic rock, hard rock, soft rock, and deep cuts. I know this would never fly with today's cookie cutter approach to formats. But something needs to be done.
