WXRK is doing so well that they are dumping it's format.
Not a good argument

PLJ? No. Def Not.
I think you could make an argument about CD 101.9 flipping. That would be an interesting discussion.

Again no. 107.1 WXPK is already AAA.

WQCD bills as much as or just slightly more than WPLJ. The chances of it flipping are about as close to zero as you can get.

And decidedly one-sided.

Well now I see you are clearly just trying to personally attack me. But in any case you can make the argument based on the fact that Emmis owns the very sucessful alternative station Q101 in Chicago. If alternative to were to reappear in NY, it needs to be done right and that would be a good place to start. Anyone can share their opinion. After all, none of us knows what the future holds. You apparently feel the need to always be arrogant and right.

He's not personally attacking you. He's just telling you something you don't want to hear - the truth! All David wrote is the facts about WQCD's billings.
All you're writing is propaganda, I mean I like Q-101 Chicago, but it's hardly what one would call a success ratings-wise.

 Think what you like about my grammar etc, but I also know what I am talking about in more posts than most.

 Ps You're just jealous!

 There, succinct enough for you?

 Yeah q101 is a decent enough station but it isnt really "successful". For a station in market number 3 you cant name any of the airstaff with the exception of Mancow and they suffer a similar ratings quandry as krock and many of the Stern anchored stations. They dissapear after their morning show goes off. They just revamped the station with their "q101 on shuffle" approach meaning they moved away from their active rock incarnation (because they were being beaten by the Zone  there) and went back to a true alternative posture, luckily the Zone flipped and Q survived. Survival is not success by the standards you're suggesting.

 No personal attack meant here.

Propaganda is a bit strong and poor choice of a word. There needs to be a defined cause as well as a fallacy of information. Since I am not promoting any cause whatsoever (merely an idea) nor have I made up things you would be incorrect.
Of course all of these threads about flipping random stations are rediculous. But anything is possible. Nearly no one thought CBSFM would go Jack of all things and look what happened. You can almost make a theory about any station doing something completely different, but that doesn't make it propaganda.

None taken And you are a little closer to what I meant. I meant Q101 is a better alternative station compared to others of its kind. I wasn't claiming that q101 did great in Chicago...apparently that's what everyone else thought. That is self explanatory.
