And actually, the "next big" thing about this may very well be the way in which this station was purchased.
More and more, FM (and AM for the last 10 years) stations are becoming affordable again. Heck, they purchased the station (not sure if it includes transmitter plant or not) for about the same price as a fixer-upper home in Albany. When stations are that cheap, you will start to see more local ownership again. The difference is unlike up until the 90's, it won't be a standalone operation. It'll be owned by a restaurant, bar, store, car lot, brewery, etc as a secondary business. To use a cliche business term: the synergy is there to make it an affordable, unique, and hopefully profitable side operation.
I do wish them luck...unless they start throwing around the term "curated" in regards to their music mix. The pretentious-meter goes off and it's vastly overused by radio!
