The hell? I live here, and I know that we don't need another Spanish language station. Before changing a station that is mainly the only source for one type of music in this market, can't anybody do something about 106.7 Romance and 107.5 Amor, two stations that sound almost exactly alike, with the same music, and are right next to each other on the dial even. My mom listens to both and can be on one for hours without knowing which one she's listening to.
And this format they're switching to sounds almost just like Power 96.
Pathetic.

I hope Clear Channel would want to play enough Spanish music not to compete with their own CHR-Pop WHYI and Urban WMIB. However, you can't argue with them changing formats because WZTA being ranked 23rd with a rating in the 1s. One problem with the ratings is that they don't reflect what everybody would listen to if they had a choice of every format. When the ratings change WZTA's format, Active Rock will have a 0.0 rating in the market but that won't mean 0 people in the market like Active Rock.

Hmmm... wonder if Y100 is gonna lean more rock now...
Probably not.
There are whispers going around that Big 106 the "Classic Rock" station may switch to an AC format to rival WLYF.

i think Big 105 should modify its format to be an all-purpose rocker, with the best of both old and new rock music. We don't need another English language AC either. Coast's music is so old it might as well be an AC station too.

Yeah, Coast is your typical cookie cutter Cox AC/Hot AC station.
The "Mega" slogan returns to Miami. Clear Channel sister station WMIB once had it.

That seems doubtful. Big 106 is now the only station appealing to adult white males in the market. I don't think Clear Channel would totally abandon that demographic. |

I HATE THE FACT THAT WE LOST ZETA TO STUPID REGGAETON, HOWEVER THERE IS NOW A NEW STATION OUT THERE. PARTY 93.1 SWITCHED ITS FORMAT YESTERDAY FROM A PARTY TO A NEW ROCK FORMAT, THE ONLY SUCKY THING IS THAT ZETA'S DJ'S WERE AWESOME, ALL FROM DEENA LANG TO KILLABREW, THEY MADE RESIGNATIONS WITH CLEAR CHANNEL AND HOPEFULLY NOW JOIN 93.1 (ROCK 93).

I know that would be awesome!!! - but now we just got 93.1- it's a rock station!!! -only thing is they don't play any old rock- eventhough all i would really want is jimi hendrix- the doors- and led zepplin- amongst the few!!! so thank god we have something back!!! |
