No legal ID even?
Remember in 2011 when Party 97.7 dropped the pop overnight and went rock then tried to cover it up on social media? Same radio company.

No station ID, no commercials-just the same songs playing on repeat.
They already have 98.5 for that!
S.A. needs a top 40 station.
It seems like Hits 105.3 should just flip to Mainstream Top40. They are Hot AC which is close enough.

They could shorten the name to Hits105 or Hit105
S.A. already has 98.5 for that!
Do they play Sombr, Alex Warren, Chappel Roan, or Billie Eilish?
Closest you’ll get is Hits 105.3. True, they’re not CHR, but that’s what you have from here on out.

No, and they don’t need to. Some or all of these artists are already heard on at least two other in-market stations.
(And again, there are still plenty of markets across the U.S. that have a CHR. You will be fine.)
Take New York for example. Z100 | iHeart
Or Los Angeles. 102.7 KIIS-FM Los Angeles | iHeart
Then they aren't mainstream top 40.
Again:
1. They don’t need to play them. Some or all of the artists you previously mentioned are already heard on at least two other in-market stations.
2. There are still plenty of markets across the U.S. that have a CHR. You - and San Antonio as a whole - will be fine.
3. Not every market needs to have every single format you or whatever person pushes for. If the optics aren’t right, don’t fill a hole just for the sake of filling a hole.

Nobody ever said KBBT was Mainstream. What you're missing is that these stations are customized for their market demographics.
KSMG has been leaning more towards CHR since KXXM flipped, but the money is in 25-54 not 18-34. Billing is always what matters most.
They're a rhythmic top 40.
