92.3 K-ROCK Flipping Again?
I'm hearing certifiable rumblings that change is afoot yet again over on the 14th Floor at 40 West 57th Street. And by "change" I mean massive firings.
WXRK has struggled to find their identity ever since Stern left for Sirius at the close of 2005. First with Free-FM and its subsequent collapse in the wake of Imus and the nappy headed ho's, and more recently with the pensive return to K-Rock playing 90's "alt-rock".
Could CD 101.9 have douched their smooth jazz format for rock because they knew something we didn't know? Were they jumping to fill a soon-to-be void? That would make sense....
I guess we will see how it pans out. Trust I'll keep you posted.
** OK now we're hearing this is a company wide CBS-Radio situation. It's not about K-Rock or even just New York.
