Good to see MB20 and Shinedown in the first hour. We definitely need more well-balanced CHRs that play both HotAC and Rhythmic music equally.

Don't bother requesting - it's a Cumulus station = nationalized playlist.

This looks like my local CHR's playlist. Seriously! Well, my local CHR is Cumulus too.

My condolences toi those of you who are stuck with Cumulus CHRs.

This station does not stand a chance. Radio Now 100.9 has some of the strongest personalities of any medium market CHRs (Scotty Davis in mornings, Reka J - a strong up and coming talent in her own right - in middays, Rayne - the PD - in afternoons, and their new night guy, Riggs) and a programmer that does not even consider the "box" when picking the music for the radio station. Radio Now, even after going through the signal and ownership change, owns that town and no Cumulus piece of shit is going to be able to compete.

This is what Cumulus does. Extremely watered-down, corporate playlists from Jan-70-year-old-I-worked-at-WLS-so-I-MUST-be-right-Jeffries. And there is nothing wrong with Rob Thomas, when the song is actually strong and becomes a hit (for full disclosure, I'm getting good research on "Her Diamonds" in my market). Jan plays any and all MB20/Rob that lands on his desk. Major hard-on for that artist.

Radio Now has nothing to worry about. To be honest, I don't think it'll crack a 2.5. If it does, it will fall below that threshold again. Their listeners are used to a constantly aggressive, active station. They aren't likely to switch to a station banging songs that WNOU was banging 6 months ago. And WZPL has long been a dominant Hot AC/Adult CHR, and a big signal. Why would their listeners switch to a little scrappy upstart?

Q100/Atlanta does well because of The Bert Show, not to mention Star 94 tends to be more conservative and white-bread than Q100. WSTR is finding their niche again, sounding good, and trending up. There's a little battle brewing up there.

KRBE/Houston has done well because of their heritage. But lately they are losing 18-34 to CBS' Hot 95.7.

In markets where Cumulus owns a CHR, and it has an on format competitor, those are the only 2 cases that I can think of where Cumulus wins. Radio Now has always been aggressive and I don't think Cumulus stands a chance.

And thank god for that. Seriously, lot's of people still like this guy's music and thank he's relevant. He's actually pretty popular on this site which I would think would have a demographic very similiar to a pop station. CHRs should stop not playing this guy's music just because they *think* he's too old for their demographic or doesn't fit their station's image. It's still all about the song and Rob's latest album, Cradlesong, has several extremely pop leaning songs. Give him a shot.
