gamefreak said:1999- Cox launches a Classic Rocker on WHPT. Then targets CC WTBT 103.5 Full-Force igniting a long term battle of the classic rockers. WTBT loses that battle and in 2005 switches to Country.
If I recall correctly, WHPT never beat WTBT. WHPT was always hovering around a 2.0 and WTBT was in the 3-4 range. But CC gave up quicker than Cox did. Now if you wanted to go back twenty years and replace those call letters with WXTB and WYNF, you would have a point.
Regarding Play, I think the results would have been better if CBS had kept WLLD on 98.7 and launched Play at 94.1 instead where it could have competed better with FLZ. They may have even been able to hold on to a few of the smooth jazz listeners too since WSJT was getting very mainstream sounding at the end.
