Top 40 radio in Las Vegas has usually revolved around CBS Radio&#8217;s 98.5 KLUC. There had been a few challengers to its throne, most recently Clear Channel&#8217;s 101.9 Kiss-FM and Wild 102 in the early 21st century. Beasley Broadcasting&#8217;s &#8220;Fresh 102.7&#8243; had been mired at the bottom of the market since its changeover from [...]]]></description>

After three years of middling ratings as a Country station, Cumulus Broadcasting pulled the plug on the &#8220;Kicks 104.1&#8243; format and began stunting with a loop of TV Themes at 5:00pm on Wednesday, March 18, 2009. The following afternoon at 1:04pm the station picked up the satellite-fed version of the &#8220;Jack-FM&#8221; format after a [...]]]></description>

For much its life, WXRK &#8220;92.3 K-Rock&#8221; was synonymous with Howard Stern. Stern joined the station in 1986 and it was his flagship until he left for Sirius at the end of 2005. Outside of Stern, the station&#8217;s identity was always evolving. It started out as Classic Rock, shifted to Alternative, and later Active [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
As one of the last All-80&#8217;s stations in the country 102.9 The Point became a victim of cluster programming. Sister station WJGL&#8217;s &#8220;96.9 The Eagle&#8221; 70&#8217;s and 80&#8217;s based Classic Hits format was stepping on its toes and not giving The Point much room to thrive. By flipping to Modern Rock, X102.9 is able [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
There was no one reason that led to the demise of FM Talk on 97.1 KLSX Los Angeles after 13 years. The departure of Howard Stern to Sirius in 2005 led to the national &#8220;Free-FM&#8221; experiment bringing in a restructuring that brought in Adam Carolla. The PPM ratings system changed the way stations recorded listeners. [...]]]></description>

The 104.3 frequency in Baltimore has been in a continuous loop of format changes since the demise of CHR &#8220;B104&#8243; WBSB in the early 90&#8217;s. There was Hot AC &#8220;Variety 104.3&#8243; WVRT, Soft AC &#8220;Soft 104.3&#8243; WSSF, All 70&#8217;s and later Classic Hits &#8220;The Colt&#8221; WOCT, Classic Rock &#8220;Baltimore 104.3&#8243; which later brought back the [...]]]></description>

On March 3, 2008 at 3pm, NewCap Broadcasting&#8217;s Smooth Jazz &#8220;California 103.1&#8243; CIQX Calgary changed formats to Classic Hits as &#8220;XL103&#8243;. In accordance with Canada&#8217;s more strict licensing regulations, Newcap needed the CRTC to remove the clause in the station&#8217;s license requiring a specialty format in order to change the format.

With one of only four 100kw signals in the Chattanooga market, 96.5 WDOD-FM has always been looked upon as a potential sleeping giant. At the same time, the CHR format has never had a signal with the potential to be heard throughout the region. The format had not been heard at all in the area [...]]]></description>

Following the departure of Howard Stern to Sirius in December 2005, WOCL&#8217;s Modern Rock format fell on hard times. Drew Garabo and Savannah were brought in following their departures from crosstown FM Talker WTKS to host mornings, but the format floundered behind 101.1 WJRR for the young male audience it desired. Finally on Friday, [...]]]></description>

On November 17, 2007 93.9 WWFT Fishers/Indianapolis dropped its 11-month old News/Talk format in favor of Christmas Music as &#8220;The Christmas Channel&#8221;. This move, in retaliation for Emmis&#8217; announced move of 1070 WIBC to 93.1 FM on December 26, gave Indianapolis its 2nd all-Christmas format. On December 26, WWFT stunt changed to an announcement [...]]]></description>
