New Rock 101.9 Lineup?

According to a radio article in the NY Daily News a week ago, "At this point it’s using an automated format programmed in Chicago." That would indicate that it may be voice tracked.
The article also stated, "Among 18- to 34-year-olds, WRXP is close to the top 10 with 3% of the audience."
Perhaps they could reach a decent niche in this demo with some additional gains in audience over the next few months.
WRXP has still not updated the very basic website they began with when they went on the air, except to add a list of recently played songs. But they do maintain an active page on Facebook. Perhaps that is considered more important in the demo they are trying to reach.
 
I just hope they play the same music once they stop the automated format from Chicago. It's going well, however once they stop the automated format add more songs/play less of the top alternative songs, focus more on the 2000s alternative (it's like as if they never existed) although I did hear Fall Out Boy once and Panic! At The Disco once. I don't believe I've heard Franz Ferdinand, Jack Johnson, Jack's Mannequin, (2000s) Jimmy Eat World, My Chemical Romance, Coldplay (2000s), Sum 41 (2000s). Very few songs from 2005-2008.
 
I forgot to mention add a local show at night for local musicians and up and coming artists/new music show & a dubstep show on the weekends at night all locally from the area. A request hour/Top songs hour. They had a contest for local bands at one point. They did have a local presence as RXP I remember they traveled to the Greenwood Lake Airport in West Milford. Bring good DJs. No crap DJs, Keep the music the same. Little talking is preferable. Have a music morning show.
 
Or...this format is just a place holder while Merlin goes out and posts the "For Sale" sign on the front lawn...
 
Not sure what the exact hours are, but it looks like they have Brian Phillips in the morning, Walt Flakus in the afternoon, and someone else (JoJo Morales?) in the evening. Though I remember someone saying that they heard both Brian and Walt in the same hour.
