Hot 101.5.
- Thread starter Old top 40 fan

Did you pay attention to the previous posts on this thread about what the station would flip to at all? Or are you rambling about nothing again?
WPOI isn't the only Urban AC station in Tampa...Are we forgetting WTMP AM?? Even if the station does an FM simulcast, WTMP would be a competitor.
But why flip Hot 101.5 which it's doing well in the ratings and billing??

Should 101.5 The Vibe add House Music mixshows on the weekend?? That would help the ratings.
I would consider WTMP to be Rhythmic Oldies. It shares very few titles with The Vibe.
That’s the thing…it hasn’t been a strong contender for a bit now.
Hopefully the the recent flip won't infect 933FLZ's playlist and try to get away from what they had been playing just to compete at some level.
I was watching the ratings and Hot and FLZ were flip-flopping in the ratings. Hot shouldn't have given up. But it's too late now.
I wonder if 101.5 The Vibe will add house music on weekends??
House music? That doesn’t jive with Vibe. The only thing they’ll do is take it to the house for some baby makin’ quiet storm slow jams. Awww yeah.

I think they don’t realize there is an AM station also having an Urban AC in the market or mean that it is the only FM R&B in the market.
What station? WTMP is Urban Oldies.
Not sure what AM you mean, but there is also 95.7, whose on-air positioning is “Hip Hop and R&B”. Therefore 101.5 is not Tampa Bay’s only R&B.
But 95.7 isn’t going after adults as they did in the past - it’s younger targeting, and has been that way for a few years now.
I think they mean R & B alone but 95.7 does play that genre.
I know that and you know that. But that doesn’t change the fact that 95.7’s slogan is “Hip Hop and R&B” which means some portion of their programming includes R&B.
Meanwhile, over at WLLD, one has to wonder how they’ll benefit from 95.7 and 101.5 on one end of the R&B spectrum while dealing with 93.3 at the end of the Top 40/CHR spectrum. Wild 94.1 seems to doing well ratings wise even with the competition surrounding them.
Um... I just found out that WTMP isn't Urban AC but is Urban Oldies so I think they mean that 101.5 is the only station that does only both new and old R&B.
