WSCG and WEKL have the lowest ratings out of all the iHeart stations in Augusta (12+)

I think since WSCG-FM (105.7 The Bull) is the lowest ranked iHeart station fluctuating with WEKL-FM (Eagle 102.3), I think Y105 or Y102.3 should come back. They were in Augusta first, before the currently only Top 40 station WHHD-FM came in. If Y102.3 comes back, there will be an alternative to HD 98.3, but if Y105 comes back, then not only that, but Y105 will cover more area than WHHD, because WSCG's signal reaches to more people than HD 98.3. In Sparta, GA, there is a possible hole in Top 40 music there, because 95.1 in Macon can't reach it and the same goes for 98.3. Y105 could reach the area and fill in the gap in that areas. Of course, it's main target is Augusta. I think iHeart could consider the return of Y105 (CHR/Top 40) if one of their FM stations have low ratings. Most likely, 105.7 (return of the legendary Y105), since The Bull's rival, Kicks 99 is #1 in Augusta (12+). The others, 96.3 Kiss FM, WBBQ-FM, and Power 107 will still remain the same. ;)
 
Oops, WSCG is actually WLUB-FM, but still, I wonder if WLUB will become the Top 40 Y105 again, to try to dethrone the sole CHR station in Augusta (HD 98.3/WHHD).
 
Augusta is actually the largest city in the state without a modern rock station. If active rock didn't do well, why not attempt alternative?
Also, I know back in the day, Y-96 out of Macon use to reach Augusta and when listening on Saturday night to their request show, they would get tons of calls out of Augusta. Wonder if Y-96 has any play in the Augusta market today.
