Worst CHR you've heard?

There is a thread about Cumulus stations being the worst, but what do you think overall the worst CHR is you've ever heard? This can be from any perspective.
 
Ok, I'll bite. First off, worst actual CHR or worst excuse for one? I'd nominate WZYP as being the worst excuse for a CHR, a pretty straight Hot AC. As for worst actual CHR, I'm not sure. CC's Premium Choice Hit Nation is pretty bad, and how it was executed on KIXZ in Spokane made it sound even worse. I don't think the current KPXR-FM is going to do much better ratings wise since it's running the same format, but at least they have better imaging now. I'd also give a nomination to WWFA in the Florance Muscle Sholes market. I'm not sure about them format-wise, but they have way too many audio issues for them to be listenable.

Cumulus programs their stations to be heavy on recurrents and golds and conservative on new adds. Cumulus CHRs will still be playing songs like "Like a G6", "I Like It by Enrique Iglesias", and "Live Your Life by Rihanna" pretty heavily. Likewise they won't get new music until 3-6 months after everyone else is playing it. Overall it just sounds bad and should be a separate format from true CHR.
 
I'm not exactly sure who that comment was directed at? If it was at me then it was a little misguided as my post which you quoted was aimed directly at Bcristi who does nothing but slam Cumulus on here.

Oh, it sounded like you were talking to me, the TC. My mistake.
