Hmmmmm I am sure Ron G and Chris James over at Cumulus don't want to directly butt heads with Citadel anymore. When last that happened WTPA WAS an Active rocker just like The X, and Chris saw an opportunity for an older demo, Soooo 'TPA flipped to Classic Rock that really rocks?. That is if you believe in .38 Special, Pearl Jam, Zeppelin, Tom Petty, and Poison being your core artists, along with 2 similar hairband specialty shows as your weekend programming.
WTPA should go ACtive again...or at least Mainstream Rock. Chris could do it if he wanted to. He'd do it better than Citadel anyway.
