Power 102.7 or Rock 102 sounds good to me.  Midwest has ads running in all the trades looking for staff.  Does this mean that those that have worked their butts off for CR are gonna be out?

I know for a fact 95.9 is dropping Classic Hits.

I hope they get opportunities.  Doc and Marty do a nice job on 104.9, really doing a nice job promoting local events in Parke, Vermillion, and even Vigo counties.  For the small signal and small staff, it really is a nice station.

Jules and Kyle have put a lot of work into 102.7 to make the station better the last few months.  There used to be long periods of dead air (especially on weekends),  no jocks in the mornings or weekends, and the same 5 beaten down jingles playing over and over.  All of these problems seem long gone.  Not sure how I feel about the slow progression towards a more Hot A/C approach the station has gone, but it fits their talent better, and the station needed major freshening up.

Real question is if 95.9 drops classic hits, and 102.7 goes country or rock, there will be a huge hole for an adult hits,Hot AC, or AC station in the market.  Wonder if this is what Emmis will do with 92.7 if the rumors are true they are buying it.

Would not think Midwest would do Country against the monster WTHI however theyn are not the smartest broadcasters in the business.  CR deservest to be out of broadcasting for they have no clue how to run a radio station or how to hire qualified people to manage their radio stations.  They do have some quality people like Doc and Marty and there are folks in the market that could have made a difference in these stations but CR refused to reach out and take advantage of them.  Think Kathy Walker is still in the market, Tony Clark is still in the market, and there are others that have talent and could have made something of these "local" stations.  It is a shame that CR owners could not drive the few miles from Indy to take control of these stations before it became to late!  Guess in our day of video conference, emails, and other instant communications it was to time consuming for Dan Lacy to look after his investments.

Why? All he did was take everything that's been said here and put it in the newspaper. Two minutes of your life you won't get back.

I believe his article came out first. Maybe you didn't have the time to notice that?

No offense Milo, but everything in that article has been discussed here for months.  Also Mott's article contained few facts and a lot of speculation.  His work for the Trib-Star has been pure garbage.
