We Need A WKZE for Hartford

WRNX is leaning towards us...but we could use a WKZE type station for the Hartford area. Most of the Marty McGillicuddies running Hartford radio could never analyze their way out of a paper bag to realize the potential to tap into well educated affluent music lovers. Between Northampton and New Haven there are MANY.

Go to Boston and you'll find four stations doing some variety of AAA -- WXRV and WBOS on the commercial side and WUMB and WERS on the non-comm side. I realize AAA is a niche format, but as you said, the demographic it could reach here in central Connecticut is very desirable. I'm surprised nobody's ever tried it here -- especially the college non-comms, which seem committed to block special-interest programming that makes extended listening impossible.
 
Actually there are only 3 in Boston now doing some variation of AAA. After many years of trying to be a AAA station, and not very well I might add, WBOS in Boston blew out the staff a few months ago and flipped to an alternative leaning rock format calling themselves Radio 92.9.

Just what Boston needed, another rock station...Not!
 
WKZE is an excellent station. They're doing what WDST used to do rather well, but now I find WKZE to be superior to DST.
