Maybe , but I still see sum rap in there ( playlist ).
 
Seems like nearly all the hip-hop has hopped off WMIB, replaced by old school Urban AC selections like:

Angel - Angela Winbush
Seven Whole Days - Toni Braxton
Free - Deniece Williams
I Feel Good All Over - Stephanie Mills
Love & Happiness - Al Green
Respect - Aretha Franklin
Make It Last Forever - Keith Sweat
Baby Come To Me - Regina Belle

This ain't no mainstream Urban by any stretch of the imagination.  Plus, WMIB is substantially down tempo since last month's format adjustment.

And they're still running a "Merry Trick'smas" Trick Daddy promotion.  What sense does that make now WMIB's an Urban AC?
 
For those who might want to debate if WMIB is now an Urban AC or a Mainstream Urban, take a look at the following playlist:

10 AM LUTHER VANDROSS - THINK ABOUT YOU
BOYZ II MEN - END OF THE ROAD
MARIAH CAREY - FLY LIKE A BIRD
MICHAEL MCDONALD - I KEEP FORGETTIN'
CHINGY - PULLIN' ME BACK
ALICIA KEYS - IF I AIN'T GOT YOU
XSCAPE - WHO CAN I RUN TO
MARY J. BLIGE - BE WITHOUT YOU
PRINCE - ADORE
TONI BRAXTON - SEVEN WHOLE DAYS

3 PM       KIRK FRANKLIN - LOOKING FOR YOU
             TONY! TONI! TONE! - ANNIVERSARY
             RON ISLEY - JUST CAME HERE TO CHILL
             LUTHER VANDROSS - HERE AND NOW
             BRIAN MCKNIGHT - FIND MYSELF IN YOU
             ISLEY BROTHERS - CONTAGIOUS
             MARY J. BLIGE - I'M GOING DOWN
             ANTHONY HAMILTON - CAN'T LET GO
             EARTH, WIND & FIRE - REASONS
             MAXWELL - FORTUNATE
             TANK - PLEASE DON'T GO

I guess my point is WMIB sounds like V103/Chicago rather than V103/Atlanta.  Next up, what to do about PM Drive jock Prince Markie Dee and night jock Papa Keith?  They really sound out of their element doing Urban AC.
