Say if Clear Channel were to hire Eddie & Jobo.
They could flip Mega 95.5 to a modern AC leaning alternative format which they do in many markets including Los Angeles where its actually starting to work for KYSR after a long period of bad ratings.
Call it FM 95-5 or Radio 95-5 or Channel 95-5. They could easilly program this with premium choice programming like they do Channel 104-3 in Baltimore.
They could target adult females with this (the younger end of the 25-54 demo) and put Eddie & Jobo on there.
Then they can take WLIT to a more mainstream AC route instead of being so "hot"
Then they could cross sell it all with 103.5 and they'd have their competition cornered at all ends.
In LA they have KIIS (The rhythmic leaning CHR), KYSR (The modern AC leaning aternative), KBIG (The Fresh 105.9 type station) and KOST 103.5 (The mainstream AC)
WLIT could be programmed as a cross between KOST and KBIG catered to Chicago. Particularly the older end of the 25-54 demo.
95.5 could then target the younger end of the 25-54 demo with Eddie & Jobo mornings.
103.5 is already successful with the 18-34 demos.
