The issue is not the format ... WZPR has had plenty of those (country, rock, soft AC, and news/talk are the ones I'm aware of). The issue is that WZPR's signal does not cover the full market (and that it's a market with too many stations). As much as I hate to see stations go to EMF, when EMF purchased 97.1, they should have picked up 92.3 too so that they have full market coverage.
