Are WXXB and WKHY now under the wings of the Schurz cluster? If so is anything at all going to change on those two frequencies. Since the announcement I haven't heard one new thing on either station that would make me realize that they are no longer Radio Works. I really hope they tweak both of these formats (WXXB a little less or a little more Rythmic so that they are a LITTLE different than WAZY) and (WKHY a little more active rock or even more alternative) I think that with the addition of a morning show on 102.9 would make this cluster almost unbeatable in Lafayette.

If memory serves me correctly, Artistic Media Partners is challenging the sale, which may prevent the sale from being finalized for quite some time. Schurz is operating the stations under an LMA.
I agree entirely with your assessments on KHY and B. I heard KHY had good young-end male numbers so an active rock format may be the way to go, especially if they don't want to completely alienate their older listeners.
B may need to go back to the way it was at the very beginning, a rhythmic leaning mainstream CHR. A more dynamic jingle package and a killer voiceguy would be great, too. The guy that used to voice for WAZY comes immediately to mind. Perhaps the voice guy from B 96.3 in Chicago, too! B 102.9 already has the talent; it just lacks that larger than life "hot sound" that a CHR should possess in its imaging. When they develop that sound, they'll see even bigger numbers than they did before, and with Schurz controlling the station, it will happen.

This is just one more way that AMP is screwing listeners in Lafayette. Also, if B 102.9 used that old WAZY voiceover guy and added the jingles that you were talking about I'm pretty sure that WAZY would struggle with ratings. The problem there is that they change their name and their talent so often that people don't really know what they are getting when they tune in. Artistic Media Partners has to go. I hope they sell out to a company that will value its audience.

You said it! They should burn it down and start a radio station there.

AMP knows that Schurz is a threat to the Lafayette operation. That's why they are challenging the sale. When Schurz takes over, Art knows he's going to have to fork over some cash in order to stay on top. What a cheap bastard he is. Like father like son. It's just sad that some people are just soo greedy that they screw people in order to make money. Good hearted talented people get screwed by assholes like this who are trying to make an honnest living. There are good companys out there to work for but I know for sure AMP isn't one of them.
