Classic Hits 101.9 ?

[michaeljwyo]

Hi guys
I know I live in an ice cave up here in Wyoming but did I miss something? Or maybe I'm the one breaking this. You guys are usually pretty quick. How long has 101.9 been "The NEW Classic Hits 101.9" ? I'll be listening... I LOVE this format but I don't know if Salt Lake has room enough for two. KODJ's had the classic hits cornered for many years now. When did this happen? It's interesting that they'd pick a format that is already on the air and is kind of a niche. Yes it's a wide niche, but a niche nonetheless.....a niche that I feel probably barely supports KODJ. Who owns 101.9 these days anyway? I wonder if they are going to do any live time and if they're gonna pick up any of KDYL's crew?
Seriously...did I miss this? I searched through everything here on the forum all the way back to almost a year ago and see nothing about it.

So..thoughts?

It was in August.

KODJ is doing very well. They were #4 in 12+ in the January book. 101.9 is doing poorly, as is the alternative station (now at 94.9). Cumulus owns both and both are the lowest rated full market FM's in the market. The only Cumulus station that is doing well at the moment is K-Bull, and they're getting ready to mess with that too with the rebranding to Nash whenever that happens.

I'm not sure what's going on over on Bearcat Dr.

well shoot! I guess I have embarassed myself once again. I guess I really DO need to get out of my ice cave more often. I forget you can change format and then get away with calling it "the NEW" for over a year. Still not surprising it's not doing that well for them. Like everyone else I don't 'get' radio these days. But then again I live in an ice cave. :-)

WKTU in New York was "the new KTU" for at least 10 years. That differentiated it from the previous use of the calls. I doubt anyone will go after them for that unless it's to make fun of how stupid it is.
