KHMY Hutchinson Shifting to Adult Top 40

[ksradiogeek]

I've noticed for the past couple of months (I'm thinking this started in January) that Hot AC KHMY "My 93-1" Hutch has been changing their playlist quite a bit. I've noticed they've sped up the music, and at night, they're playing more rhythmic tracks that they wouldn't have touched in the past. What do you think is going on?

Sounds like they are targeting a younger audience at night. Do they have someone on live at night?

Yes. He goes by the name of Cooper, who has worked in other markets before. Wonder if this is a gradual shift to a more typical Mainstream CHR format?

What markets has he been in?

[ksradiogeek]

He's been mostly East (I remember Charleston was definitely one of them). He made his first step in Kansas was in Southeast Kansas on KKOY before moving on to La Crosse to start KXNC and KKDT before moving to Hutch in 2010.

After listening to the stream, I swear I'd heard that voice in Topeka or maybe Kansas City.

I'm thinking he used to work for V-100 in Topeka, that's why I said that.

Now this is me, but I heard Sexy and I Know It around 8:30 yesterday morning. Way before they start the harder stuff. Will it actually shift to Mainstream Top 40?
