New Bee Gees/Donna Summer station coming to the East Coast?

[JerseyGuy]

People are saying that Philadelphia (C.C.'s106.1) is about to get a Bee Gees/Donna Summer station (Rhythmic AC).

"Bad Girls" and "I will survive" is going to played 50 times a day ala WNEW and WKTU in New York.

Philly is about to get a major headache.

I've seen rumors today saying-- WJJZ will flip to Dance and WSNI will flip to rock in Philly. Anyone know anything ????

 

[jayedwards]

if WJJZ does kill smooth jazz---- how long can the format last on WQCD and other stations ? smooth jazz seems to be a dying format right?

 

[housemusic]

i hear that CD is also looking at alternatives....possible oldies, rock or gospel?

I thought except for WQCD in NYC and WJZZ in Philly Smooth Jazz was already dead. I remeber in the late 90s/early 00s at least 3 SJ stations went off the air inclduing stations in Boston, Buffalo, and New London. There are probably more, but those are the 3 I thought of off the top of my head.

Almost every major market has a smooth jazz station.

Nope, nope, nope.

CD is doing well these days. They'll probably leave it alone for a while. Smooth Jazz as a format has lost most of it's steam, but it's a good cluster member for Emmis.

It used to have that format though. The former WABT was Rhythmic AC but it didnt do well in the ratings.

104.5 The Beat

Now it is a Regents' 104.5 The Buzz and that is an 80s/Hot AC format.
