In my travels around the country, I hear very few rythmic formatted stations. Dayparts, yes. full format. Nope. Of those I hear, some are good, others...well not so good. Because there are so many decent club jocks who can cue/cross fade well, they set a really high standard for a rythmic station to do the same on every segue 24/7. If you don't do it perfectly every time, the listeners hear it and it turns into a big negative impression. That means live staff 24/7. Just not going to happen...even in LA or NYC.
If anything, Newsweb should do a Play Anything Country fomrat. That's a completely wide open genre of music.
