Just the other day in St. Louis CC lanched a rhythmic format on KBWX (where urban KMJM used to be before a frequency switch). KBWX has the same owner now as longtime KSLZ (top 40 pop).
Other examples of two top 40s being under the same cluster:
Austin - KHFI (pop) and KPEZ (rhythmic)
Atlanta - WWPW (pop) and WWLD (rhythmic)
In many markets, two stations under the same cluster can carry the same format as long as one of each is aimed at a different audience based on demos or age, like a mainstream urban and an urban ac as well. Another example is two country/western stations in the same cluster: one is new country while the other is classic country (i.e. KVET and KASE in Austin). So is it possible for a rhythmic to complement its pop sister station in the longterm?
