Yes, that's what I expected to happen when LITE switched to JACK. Then when the country share became fragmented, it made it all the easier for SUNNY to be #1.
I expect that SUNNY could be #1 for years to come. First of all, they are a solid station with a staff that's been there for years. Unlike some other ACs across the country, they don't try to be too hot or hard. Also, these days nobody switches to AC. I never ever hear of stations switching to Soft AC, no matter how good the heritage station is doing. For example in NYC, WLTW (LITE FM) is #1 with an obcene share (for NY standards) yet nobody will take them on. I guess it's not "fun" to go AC. Oh well, I'm sure SUNNY will have fun being #1.
