Tell me if this makes sense?

This one doesn't really make sense to me. Why won't Cumulus let any of their stations carry AT40 because they add songs so late, yet Open House Party is for the most part ahead of Cumulus anyway and it's pretty much a staple on most Cumulus CHRs? What's going on here?
 
It is because AT 40 is distributed by Premiere Radio Networks, which is owned by Clear Channel. Cumulus stations can carry the new Carson Daly countdown which is distributed by Cumulus syndication arm.
 
Very little of what Cumulus does with CHR makes sense. The company had very few CHR stations prior to the Citadel acquisition and the ones they did have were terrible and in small markets. I think the company needs to change the way they program CHR or get out of the format entirely.

Huh? ???

Come on, we all want Cumulus to change, but your posts are getting a little bit over the top IMO - Cumulus had a large number of CHRs before the Citadel acquisition, they don't leave songs that are a year old in power rotation, and you're continuing to make statements about Cumulus CHRs based on a station you listen to in OK City that isn't even a CHR

Open House Party is musically far safer than AT40, since it focuses on the biggest hits, leans dance/rhythmic, and plays breaking hits by young-leaning artists - and it tends to air on weekend nights, when a lot of the audience is partying/out clubbing

Some Cumulus CHRs, in certain areas of the country, need more liberal programming, and seem to be headed in that direction, but others, like Q100, are winning, and in the case of Q100, completely demolishing their competition
