New Year, New Imaging?

J

Come January 1st it will be two years old ... can it still be called "The NEW Sunny 105.9"?

Will MIX still be "The Best MIX of the 80s, 90s and Today" or does the first decade of the 21st Century get title?

Dirty Jim was doing a live spot for Kawasaki the other day and he said "have to clear out the Oh-Nines to make room for the Oh-Tens". So it begs the question, does the second decade of the 21st century get a title (20's, 30's, ... 90's work ... is it the 10's?)

Does Sirius/XM Channel 10 become the "10's on 10"?

Help ... I need answers! We survived Y2K ... will "2010 do us In?"

1230 The NEW WCOL Columbus, Ohio was NEW when I listened to it as a teenager, was still NEW when I worked there 1967-1968, and was still NEW when I moved away in 1969. So, there is no limit to what some radio stations call NEW :D
 
Tampa's called some of their stations NEW for years. Almost a decade. I guess that "New" moniker must invoke excitement in some people.
 
Apparently there's no time-limit on the word "new". WZMX in Hartford, CT for example was called "The All New Dancin' Oldies Z-93.7" from the time they signed on in 1999 (After dumping Classic Hits) until they flipped to Hip-Hop in March 2001. I don't know if they still do, but at least earlier this year WZMX would still occasionally use "The All-New Hot 93.7" so that's 8 years right there. 103.5 KTU in NYC was using the word new for a long time. I'm not sure how long. But I think north of 10 years. 990 AM in Hartford was "The All New 990 The X" from the time they flipped from WNTY to WXCT in April 2003 until they were sold and went Spanish in May 2004. "Exact News, Exact Weather, Exact Traffic, Exactly when you want it on Exact Radio. The All New 990 The X".
