Will WOR lead to the demise of WWPR?

I don't think that "isn't conservative enough" argument holds true. First of all, you only need to snag 5% of the audience to make a station work. There's gotta be 5% out there that could tune in.

Second, and more importantly, it needs to be ENTERTAINING and also sometimes conservative. The biggest problem I have with a lot of these new hosts is the entertainment factor is missing. He's nutty, but that's why I like Savage, you never really know what direction he will go in. This "new" crop of conservative talkers are like boring professors at college, just on the other side of the political coin. That's the same reason Air America failed. Not the politics, but the lack of entertainment value.

You are half right, they were not entertaining AND it was their politics.

I was talking with another radio professional on FB and he thought of something that sounded VERY interesting.

As most of you know, CC is testing the waters with EDM over in Boston on Evolution 101.7. If the numbers prove to be positive, regardless of the signal strength, there COULD be that possibility that 105.1 becomes "Evolution" here.

It really DOES NOT affect the cluster since 'KTU is already serving women 25-54 and are successful at it, strictly keeping to what is familiar, charting, aka the "feel good" brand. Z-100 caters to a more suburban audience but still towards women mainly 18-34, add to the fact that they are the legacy CHR station here.

A station like "Evolution" (and there is a reason why I have it in quotes) would pick up more on male numbers 18-34 if they stay STUCK on the EDM aspect. But in a market like New York you have a HUGE diversity of dance music fans to cater to (house, club, electro, freestyle) and to just lean solely on the EDM angle, just because that's what hot right now, would NOT necessarily be a success story here unless you cover other aspects of dance as well as rhythmic CHR, that can bring on that familiarity to those that are not P1's.

This could be the possible dark horse" that no one would see coming.
 
Along those lines, could there be the possibility that Premiere might be syndicating either a weekly or daily Pete Tong show, if there's a market for it? It sounds like there could be a market for an EDM mix show for CHRs.
