Pirates won't be on WPGB

I'll say again that the Penguins are completely out of place on that station and it just points up even more how far away it is from its stated "alternative" (that's what the CC website says it is) format.

Not really.... the X dominates 18-34 men and that's the demo the Pens (and sports advertisers in general) want.

Personally, I have always thought the Pens were very well placed on The X.

Their morning show and mid-day show give them major attention every day, even in the middle of the summer.

Unless you don't think a sports franchise should be on a music station, which is an arguement worthy of discussion, they are rather well placed, IMO.

The X only "dominates" that group because they don't want to listen to Kiss and don't want to listen to their parents' station (DVE). It certainly doesn't do so because it's playing music relevant to that age group, or rock music that that age group is listening to in the rest of the country.

The X isn't an alternative or modern rock station and should stop presenting itself as such. The ridiculously long hockey season only makes things worse. Pardon me for being a female who would like to have an ACTUAL modern rock station in this town.

Actually I agree that a better new rock station is the biggest hole in the market.
