Mark, in a perfect world you'd be correct. But this is the West Palm-Boca market we're talking about here. Why break with tradition by doing something that makes sense?

The West Palm Beach radio market is a respectable and sizable Top 100 Florida radio market. Additionally, the buyer is a well respected and sharp professional. I have no doubts that Mr. Goodman will do what it takes to 1) protect his investment; and, 2) implement an immediate plan to gain the highest and best ROI.
 
They just need to NOT consider HD.....that's the DXer in me speaking.

They and Country Kaye are thus far about the only Palm Beach stations not to engage it.

No doubt. Just making a wisecrack, not casting doubts on Dean Goodman's abilities. But the sad fact is, although it may be a sizeable market, West Palm has been a leading contender for the dubious distinction of the market with the most head-scratching programming and business decisions in the Nation. Look at how many times they hired me, for example!
 
I would have to agree...And CBS Radio may top the list...Their 103.1 frequency is a programming disaster and they have sit by and done nothing...Clear Channel has no idea what to do with RLX, has what many consider to be the worst Top 40 station in the county in WLDI, and their FM Talker is horrid...WRMF can fix morning drive and dominate this market.

This was my whole point all along. Simply make the necessary programming, promotions, marketing and sales adjustments, and WRMF can and will become the dominate West Palm Beach signal. The other stations, if management is paying atttention, will follow suit. If not, then WRMF will reap the rewards by itself leaving the others behind in the "dust trails".
