some thing new?! well,
there isn't. . . but they continue
to say the "new" country, at 95.3
(how do i know?, well, its a guilty pleasure
to tune in once and again)...but, anyways
how long is SOME THING " N E W " ?
 
Generally 2 years. An owner of a radio station in Iowa actually addressed this over the air a few years ago, they had shifted frequencies from 1560 to 1630, and one of the hosts said "how long are we going to be the new 1630, we just finished being the new 1560", to which he replied, 2 years is generally how long a station is "new" in radio.
 
No, it's not new anymore..lol. The way format flips go in some cities, I'd guess that's almost a herritage station now. It's definitely an established station for sure.
 
Actually, in the case of country music, they intend to mean the "New Country" 95.3, as in "New County" music, with no classic country.

There are rumours of a format change, but nothing to suggest a fact.

A while back they tossed out Kingston's country (FM 96) and had to change format a few years later.

I'm only guessing they've learned from that mistake...but I could be wrong.

In New York, 103.5 KTU has been the "new" KTU since signing on in 1996. The excuse I've heard for that is that since it is the second reincarnation of that station (there was a KTU in the late 70s-early 80s), the "new" differentiates it from the old station (as if anyone would be confused!). ::)

Established means nothing in ratings land, as we've just witnessed today with the format change to "greatest hits".
