This is what I want Fresh 102.7 in New York to sound like. Listening to it every day at work for the past couple weeks, it's pretty good, but it's more or less a clone of WPLJ with the non-Bon Jovi 80's songs jettisoned. Taking on a format like this would be a nice way to differentiate themselves. Plus, somebody's gotta step up to the plate and play some current alternative music around here. If this is the only way it could be played, I'd gladly sign up for it. I know that Fresh 102.7 added The Black Keys/Lonely Boy, probably cause there's no Alternative or commericial AAA station in New York City to play it BTW it's weird how both Fresh AC stations (New York and Washington DC) started out really conservative, and now both stations, especially the one in DC, are much more progressive than the regular Hot AC The Fresh station in Chicago was heading in that direction as well before it was blown up for the similcast of N/T sister station WBBM-AM.

The Mix should go back to its roots and become a Modern AC. But that won't happen since they are the only Hot AC station in town. They have strong ratings as an Adult CHR, so there is no reason for them to tweak their format as long as they have no Hot AC competitors.
