Which of the 4 C's (Cumulus, Clear Channel, CBS, COX) put out the best alternative stations? We must all realize most stations fall under one of these companies so lets keep the discussion to stations that would be owned by one of the four c's.
What defines a good alternative station?
1- Plays alternative music. Not active rock
2- Plays cutting edge alternative first.
3- Plays with some indie.
4- Companies that allow the PD's of each individual station have control.
Which will it be guys/gals? The purpose for my question is that the Atlanta market is rumored to be getting an alternative station soon and I'm wondering which of the above companies would be best to pull that off. We have a Lincoln Financial station and I know that would be the best (FM949) but the current Hot AC format is doing very well.
