You really never know how good the soft ac format will do and how it will affect the heritage ac station in the market. KOIT and KWRM on the west coast have been taken down a notch by their soft ac competitors. Keep in mind that while the soft ac may take over 6+ over the heritage ac, it really is all about women 25-54. Amazing that in Miami the soft ac Easy 931 was #1 18-34 in addition to being #1 overall.
WNIC should adjust their playlist only slightly after the ho ho hos end. Just add a few more 80s titles and see how it works out.
