Come come now, children 
- BOTH are formats that are presently NOT being served in New York City on an FM dial..I'd take EITHER one!!
- BOTH are formats that are presently NOT being served in New York City on an FM dial..I'd take EITHER one!!no, the perfect format would be SMOOTH JAZZ. yes, that would mean swallowing pride and admitting a mistake like WCBS and reverting back.

but would Emmis have the same humility that CBS Radio did? Inquiring minds want to know.... :-\

Despite the Yiddish name, Emmis president Jeff Smulyan's background is in "pay for play" religious stations. He first ran WNTS in Indianapolis, owned by his father. Then he purchased KCRO in Omaha, which still has a religious format, now owned by Salem. (Back in the 50s, KCRO was KOWH, where Storz originated the top 40 format.)

What a brilliant idea!!! In a market with probably the highest percentage of Agnostics and Atheists in the whole country, why not switch an underperforming station to a Christian format! Bravo!! ;D

Here's a bit of anecdotal evidence to buttress the case that Smooth Jazz will *Not* return to the New York airwaves ever again: the format was a favorite of my 8o year-old father!

Smooth Jazz would be the perfect format if the station wanted to continue sagging in billing (CD101.9's billing was abysmally low) and reaching an audience that was aging out of the demos the ad agencies want (rightly or wrongly). Just because 'RXP, at the moment, is a sinking ship doesn't mean that what they had before was a winner.

It is a known fact, most of the Jewish owned stations in the 50's, and 60's which was about 80% of the us radio properties, on their co-owned AM/FM signals, used the poor quality of the AM to air mostly Goiam Christian formats, mainly Black Gospel, and made tons of money on this...Howard Stern exemplified this fact in one of his movies....so anything is possible with E.

and here's a bit of evidence to counter yours: i have friends in their early 20s who listened regularly to WQCD. so in that case, that's a pretty good thing for WQCD if they pleased anyone 20 to 80. to counter the post about it not billing well, that's because of two simple reasons: poor, unexperimental programming with boring vocals instead of fresh instrumentals from new, smaller artists, and not knowing how to sell the format in the first place. most ad execs at smooth jazz stations try to sell it like a rock station. there's two different techniques there.
Plain and simple, Rock in NY sucks! RXP bores the hell out of me, and lets not revert back to how much K rock just plain sucks! All I have to say is thank god for my Creative Zen Vision M, all the real hard rock I want in the palm of my hand. Also thank god that 93.5 the beach streams (WZBH), at least I'm able to hear what new rock is out there, cause if I left it up to NY I'd think that "Fake it" and "Dani California" was new rock.
"We support local music, here's Bruce Springsteen on XRP!" ROFL!
As for the NEW YORK rock experience let's see now...
Mat Pinfield is from around here but...
Lesley Fram from Atlanta
SteveCraig from Atlanta
Brian Shock from Colorado or California
Phillips from ?? (it doesn't matter - the out-of-stater's are the majority)
And the consultant's are from LA and Colorado
And "they pick their own music?" If so then we have all of the above to blame when we hear Boston on XRP. My guess is that's just PR BS and they follow a computer generated list (probably faxed in from LA or Colo) like everybody else does.

After it was faxed in, they probably made a bunch of copies on the mimeograph machine.

Of course this is a lie, and a big one to boot. And it has noting to do with the subject.
Whether some Jews owned some stations is rather uninmportant. The FCC never seemed to think it was important, either, and kept no statistica.
And, if some stations were owned in the 50's and 60's by Jews, it is certainly not 80% of them.
Take your revisionist and bigoted history elsewhere... like to a dumpster.
