Now if only more stations started dropping hip-hop all would be well.
At least Chicago is still blessed with a Classical music station. From what I understand even New York doesn't have a single full time classical music station.
The Jack format is supposed to attract more young male listeners, but in NY, ratings have plunged more than 50% in less than three months.
If ABC is smart, they'll hire some of the jocks from WMJK, including the legendary (and ageless) Dick Biondi, the "Eye-tallion Stallion" who was part of the original crew at WMJK. WZZN, BTW, has never done much in any format, so the shift to oldies makes sense. And finally, the Jack disaster in Chicago and NY proves that a lot of radio executives know nothing about their business...
