As much as this market needs a real CHR, I'm not sure Elvis Duran in mornings and Ryan Seacrest will cut it long term. Hopefully at least one of those is temporary.

ALL CHR is CHuRban...as urban makes up the majority of CHR now.

Disagree. There's much less Urban on CHR than there was even 2 years ago.

Could this be the new home of Mara Davis?

They get away with that in Miami and Richmond, but haven't been able to in markets where they're up against major direct competition, such as Charlotte and Greensboro.
if anyone record the flip or stunt send it to me [email protected] would love to listen
I'm surprised it wasn't named Channel or Now, like recent Clear Channel CHRs.
I'm okay with having a "true CHR", however that really differs from Q and Star, but I really hate that Wild is going away. Would have preferred to see one of those 2 stations make that move if they felt it was the right move. Not that I'm a huge fan of Wild, but Wild is one of the few stations in Atlanta that plays something really unique and is bringing in decent ratings.
So as is typical of Atlanta radio, eliminate a station with a unique niche that has found a place where with a decent signal and local morning show, they would likely have a mid 4s to 5s ratings. And replace it with a station that will likely sound very much like 2 other existing stations. This is exactly the type of move that has killed Atlanta radio.
Power might end up being a really good station, but even if it is, Star or Q is likely not going to be around long. Or maybe Star moves more AC. But in the end, this move will probably make Atlanta radio even more vanilla than it is now.
