Traditional Soft AC station on the way for Jacksonville?

passtheword

passtheword

I've been following the north Florida board about Cox's WFYV (Rock 104.5) which just ended their 33-year run as a rock station. The station is currently stunting with a variety of formats, including a format entitled "Easy 104.5". The domain Easy1045.com has been registered as well. Will traditional soft AC make an entrance to Jacksonville, similar to Cox's WFEZ in Miami and WDUV in Tampa? Hopefully some restitution and relief for Jacksonville listeners after the "Dove" sham that Cox pulled with their FM translator at 106.1...

Here's the link to the discussion on the fate of WFYV:

I strongly doubt it. My money's on Cox moving their successful "Power" format to 106.5 from the 106.1 translator.

Although if they did that, perhaps they could put a "Dove" type format on 106.1...
 
As most of you probably know by now, WFYV ended their stunting yesterday with Cox moving WOKV-FM from the weaker 106.5 signal up to 104.5. There's speculation now as to what Cox will do next with 106.5...and whether that could entail some type of traditional soft AC a la "EZ 93" and "The Dove". Someone noted on the north FL board that 106.5's stereo pilot has been turned back on after being off for the past 7 yrs, indicating the station might be headed for a music format.
