My local Cumulus CHR (KKWD-Oklahoma City), for the first time in two years, is becoming listenable and somewhat current again. Checking the playlist for last week, I notice the top songs have a much higher number of spins per week much like the station did under Citadel vs the very low number under the Jan Jeffries playlist. Could this be the result of increased competition in the OKC market with the new rhythmic-leaning Now 96.5, or is Cumulus changing the way they handle CHR to be more in line with the way every other radio operator does it? Anybody else seeing improvements at their stations?
Of course, they still play stale, overplayed garbage like 'I Like It' by Enrique Iglesias more often than they should in 2014 but I think the station is improving.
