Last week, Cumulus flipped hot AC WJLQ (Q100) to CHR as I-100. This gives the M-P their second full-market CHR (Cumulus also has WZNS Ft. Walton Beach, which reaches Pensacola) and competition for longtime market leader WABB-FM.
Cumulus tried CHR on WYOK a few years ago. It was gaining traction until Hurricane Ivan ripped the area and forced the station off the air and at reduced power for quite some time afterward.

I was just looking at their playlist, as well as WABB's on yes.com and judging by the last three or so hours, their playlists are almost alike.

Aren't all Cumulus playlists alike?

Most Cumulus CHRs tend to lean towards hot AC and that one guy (Jan Jeffries) pretty much runs the ship when it comes to what they play. It's just up to the local guys on how they schedule the music (and even then, how much power do they have?).

Cumulus is going to do this station correctly. I'm good friends with someone very close to the situation there and I have every reason to believe that Mobile-Pensacola is in for a great CHR battle between i100 and WABB, which can be nothing but good for the format.

I guess I'll just keep my ears peeled then.  |
