I'm from NY so I'm not familiar with the Fairfield ratings, but I'd be shocked if WFOX really does well. In some markets, it would be considered "classic hits" instead of "classic rock" and the playlist is painfully tight.

What is the likelihood of 95.9 the Fox flipping?

If its playlist is ultra-tight and ultra-familiar, it probably does well now that we're in the PPM era since it's probably playing in auto repair shops, retail establishments, even some offices. The People Meters reward safe, tight playlists because they record "listening" by people who don't have any choice what they're listening to -- shoppers, diners, people waiting for their oil to be changed, etc. The meters are great for tight-playlist AC, Hit Country and Classic Hits/Rock, a disaster for just about everything else. Sucks, but that's how what you hear on FM is going to be determined from now on.
Not so sure about that, CTL. The only PPM market currently in Connecticut is the Hartford market, and 95.9's candlestick isn't making it up there. Not sure how much of an impact they are in market 1... Technically, the "greater" NYC market ends at the FFLD/NH county line, so they could show.
Bridgeport, New Haven, and Danbury are still "book" markets, and will most likely remain so for the near future.
Regardless, I don't think The Fox will flip. They've still got the best classic rock signal in southwest CT, west of Norwalk. 99.1 gets killed in Stamford/Greenwich, and 95.1 has always seemed marginal down in that neck of the woods, at least on my stock 2000 Ford F150 tuner.

Hi From Shanghai China 
WPLR makes it into old Greenwich on good weather days over star 99.1 but not when there is a DX, as for WRKI with RXP gone they are on my presets however, unless the norwalk relay is on The signal does not do that well here and not at all under a DX condition where that top 40/hip hop station from Atlatic city comes in.
As for 95.9 the FOX a lot of worksites and stores shops etc more male dominant have it on all the time in the Stamford area.
As for 91.7 WXCI Danbury (in fox's coverage area) I will be automated with Active Rock Fri 3-7 figure I throw that in ;D
