So Buckley, in it's infinite wisdom, has chosen to alienate long-time DRC-FM listeners in a quest for the magical 25-44 group (who couldn't give a damn about classic hits - BTW).
It wasn't so long ago that this was a great oldies station that was a pleasure to listen to while driving between Boston and NY. And, it did reasonably well in the ratings, IIRC. Now, it's crappy and no one is listening.
The needless destruction of the oldies format continues....
On a different note, I wish that I could see the break-outs in the ratings book so as to know how Wendy Williams actually does in Hartford. In my various visits to the area, I have preferred the music and presentation of Power over Hot - yet end up on 93.7 all afternoon. That's because WW is just unlistenable. And, I know that I am not alone as locals with similar musical tastes say the same thing.
So, it would be interesting to see if WW pulls down Power's ratings OR if I'm simply all wet!
By the way, did WYBC get any ratings in Hartford? Not a bad signal in many areas of the market (especially Hartford/Manchester) and it's pretty much alone in the format.
