No Matter what market is considered, the stations sort themselves out in the book and, pretty much, stay put.
What this tells me is that nobody - and I mean: nobody in Programming - has a rat's-ass clue as to where to go or what to do from here.
This leads me to another conclusion: Paying any attention to what these folks say is a foolish and dangerous practice.
All the evidence required to come to a conclusion about their competence is in what they do.
I repeat: They stay put. They are stagnant. Improvement of any significance is not in the cards.
Programming hasn't come up with a useful or advantageous strategy since christ was still a corporal.
The stations that have those few desirable and somewhat appealing formats can describe themselves with the highly technical term: Lucky!
