96.5 WTDY-FM Rebrands As The New 96.5

It's not Hot AC even if people here insist it is yes they have Hot AC tags but they spin currents too much ,

That's not true. WTDY spins currents 70-80 spins a week. So does KBIG LA and KLLC SF.

WTMX Chicago spins currents 90 a week and it's still considered Hot AC.

Hot AC is more about the percentage of currents in the playlist, not the spins.

Couldn't you have a Hot AC with CHR-like spins though (proportionate to how many currents, for example) while playing Hot AC only music mixed in?

Yeah that would be cool if it was different but it's not Josh Brubaker (Bru's) show is the exact show they play on their other CHRs not altered as is Most Requested Live. I noted they are Hot AC ish not a full Hot AC station.
 
Same here, I do think wnew has better playlist than tdy I still have yet to see a better hot ac playlist than wsjo, townsquare really does a great job
 
I think the like between Hot AC and CHR has blurred with the shifting demographics of radio

KEZR-FM San Jose is almost indistinguishable from CHR to most average folks.
