WZNE's profit to take tumble; format change to follow?

[NewsSleuth]

According to some acquaintences in the radio biz, employees at The Zone 94.1 are bracing themselves for a huge profit loss early this year when Howard Stern leaves their airwaves. They face considerable losses in advertising revenue, as some of their major accounts have withdrawn or cutback without the Howard "live read." It is believe that most of the Stern audience will not embrace the replacement "Rover's Morning Glory" show, and that the station may have been able to get higher ratings playing music. That I would have to agree with.

Therefore this leads me to believe that our own WZNE is prime for a JACK makeover in the near future.

Why is this on the upstate NY TV board?
