Nice classic rocker...good healthy music mix...but it ain't no DVE! Sorry...but there are not too many stations in these parts that could hold a candle to WDVE's legend or success. WDVE always has a half decent showing in the Johnstown and Altoona Books too. That says something seeing how in Altoona you can only get it via Cable.
 
DVE to me in pittsburgh is doing a 9.0 rating in pittsburgh and Rocky99 is doing a 8.9 in johnstown I don't care if it's listed in the other markets
 
Both Rocky1049 and Rocky99 claim to be 'rock' stations, however they play mostly oldies and classic hits. Why not just say "Classic Hits" or "70s and 80s hits"? I particularly like the liner 'rock without boundaries' which usually is followed by a late 60s to mid 70s softer rock hit. Usually a 'rock' station will play more 90s and current rock than classic?

I understand why both went classic hits, to try and knock down Q94 (with some level of success thus far), but doesn't this just stir the pot with the Q? I mean, if Forever starts targeting Q94, is there a chance the fine folks at the Q would let the Rockys have the format and perhaps go country to strike back at Forever? (similar to Joe-FM)?

My opinion...and just my opinion....but I'd say the Q would fare better if they were to ditch the format to move to a hot leaning A/C which is something that Altoona has been lacking since the Demise of Mix 104.9 or perhaps try a Jack Style format or dare I say it....an all 80's and 90's station. I just bet any of the 3 would fare well. But the Q could make a nice impact by just opening up the library. They have been doing the same routine for what 10-15 years? Their music mix is too tight
