The longtime AC station segued to hot AC on Monday. It now goes under the moniker Fresh 100.3. It's a Clear Channel and not a CBS Fresh station like in Chicago, New York Washington and Las Vegas.

I wonder why they didn't go into the new format immediately after the weeks-long holiday music fest ended.

So they're going to try and take on WDVD? I don't exactly follow radio ratings or anything, so I don't know how Hot AC does in the Detroit area. But I always like to listen to WDVD when I'm in the area (or the HAC station from Windsor). Will have to check this one out next time.

The hot AC from Windsor is now a AAA station.

The hot AC from Windsor is now a AAA station. Which station are you talking about? The one I was mentioning was CHYR, Mix 96.7. Their site seems to still show a HAC format. |

WNIC is & had been a heritage AC powerhouse for ages; their female-focused 'Pillow Talk' show from 7PM-Midnight served as the template for such shows across the natiion, including KOST/LA's 'Love Songs On The Coast', where Karen Sharp has served as host for over 22 years under former PD Jhani Kaye, and 'Delilah's' phenomenally successful show.

I thought you might've been referring to 93.9. I didn't know there was a 96.7 in the area. Rather short-spaced next to 96.3 and 97.1. |

Oh wow! I used to listen to this with my mom when I was younger. I suppose they do have a gap to fill because WDVD has become more pop leaning this past month with a few of their recent additions (Only Girl In The World, DJ Got Us Fallin In Love, Poker Face, I Gotta Feeling). There's still another ac station in the area so the format will still be alive in Detroit  . |

I wonder if WNIC jumped the gun too quickly on changing formats. They were the #1 station in Detroit in the recently-released December PPM trends. True enough, the station's ratings were going to go back to normal after the Christmas music was done. |

Well, the nice thing about AC's segueing to "Fresh" is that it's more of a format adjustment than a format change. They will probably keep a lot of their old listeners, especially the desirable 35-44 ones. Then they can always do Christmas again next year.
