Ok, so if I'm one of the genius Dickey Brothers, here's what's rattling around my pea brain..."Fantastic! We bought Susquehanna at the top and paid through our noses! First order of business, piss on our territory by blowing up The Song just as it starts turning a corner and a profit. Then, we'll half-assed cobble together some lame excuse for a Talk station".
"What? A .01 Share? Indy already has a REAL news/Talk"? (Hmmm...Note to self, pay at least a smidge of attention to the market).
"Well, little Johnny, that didn't really work out and we're bleeding cash like there's no tomorrow".
"Ok, let's reach around to our asses and pull out another great idea. Eureka! Let's rip off our Cincinnati sister and launch WRRM. Yeah, Yeah, that's it, that's the ticket!"
"Oh boy, Lew! You have all the answers!"
Once again, 1 year later...
<gulp> "Ah, well, um...gee, that didn't seem to work out either. We're now hemorrhaging to beat the band and lost over half the employees in unprecedented time. Must stick head up ass again to see what piece of do-do I can grab this time around".
"I94Hits! Of course! It's not like there are TWO of these stations already in the market (right?)"

Plus a much stronger signal. And you can hear the conversations between Lew and Little Johnny about all this in your head. Problem is, they paid too much for Susquehanna because their egos tell them they can do it better. The proof is in the pudding. Running the Susquehanna stations has done nothing but harm those facilities. Cumulus should be taken behind the woodshed for crimes against everyone.

True. Heck they even went so far to even dump the Jack Branding on 104.5 because they didnt want to pay for the rights to the brand for some more time

Is there a future for this frequency? I was at St. Vincent Women's Hospital today and you can't even hear a whisper of audio.

The future for 93.9 is a carousel of formats every 12-18 months as long as CumuSucks is at the wheel. Heck, even THEY can't bring themselves to call it 93.9 anymore because they have so shamefully trashed the frequency.
They throw crap at a wall and whatever sticks is what they call a radio station. Problem is, the only thing that sticks is...you guessed it...shit.

Why do they get paid the big bucks...can't make a winning decision to save their lives! How the hell do they keep their jobs while those of us who have done it right manage to end up on the editing room floor!

Why is a 70-year old person overtseeing programming for a format whose core audience is in their twenties??

Jan Jeffries and Jeff Andrews know CHR. I 94 will have the best ratings 93.9 has ever seen. Billy Bush and a tight morning show starts soon. Radio Now is dead.

Jan Jeffries does NOT know CHR. He is out of touch and does not like too much "black music" on his Top 40's.
Jeff Andrews will simply be the scheduler, it's Jan who dictates the categories and rotations.
RadioNOW's 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 Adult Top 40, and a big signal. Why would their listeners switch to a little scrappy upstart?
Best ratings they've ever had is not saying much. This station is dead in the water.
