They are a talented duo - I enjoyed listening to them on WDVD - but they seem a little old for a CHR formatted station.

Mr. Bridges has programmed CHR, Hot AC, and for the past several years - Country.

I think this heightens the chance of 106.7 going Country. We shall see.

106.7 and 96.7 The Bull, maybe (paired with WLXV Cadillac)?

Country? Can't wait to see the next attempt fail. These inbreed rusty truck meth cookin Trump voting Rollin Coal idiots love them some TCM.

I am sticking that 106.7 is going BOB FM.

What would the Bob format get you? Bob shares a chunk of its core playlist with 97.5/93.5 KLT, 98.1/95.3 The Bear, 98.5 UPS, and Eagle 101.5. And it's not very personality-driven... unless you count it's pre-recorded community calendar as being locally relevent? I'll put my money on Country as the format of choice, given TCM has turned it's simulcast signal over the KLT. Going Country allows them to compete with Black Diamond's WMKC 102.9 for the Petoskey/Charlevoix-area and pull dollars from across the rural areas between Petoskey and Traverse City that aren't going to muster the top of the market rates TCM garners. Not to mention they'll leverage the format as part of buys that that might be associated with KHQ. Think about it for a second... McDonald-Garber: CHR/AC/Country leverage trio versus Black Diamond: Country/Active Rock/Classic Rock leverage trio. From a strategic cluster perspective, it makes the best sense, as it potentially weakens a direct competitor (Black Diamond), while bolstering your own portfolio.

Let's see how that idea plays out. I guess WTCM leaves a gap with flipping WBCM.

There is no “gap” if BCM had no audience to begin with. Which they didn’t.

So, likely BOB FM on the big Gaylord stick...

Despite WTCM's struggles in the northern half of the market, they still have the market lead due to their absolute dominance in Benzie, Manistee, and Wexford counties

The Bear and Rock 105 are major players in Benzie and Manistee also.
