The station is <a href="http://www.broadcastkc.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=398&Itemid=1" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.broadcastkc.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=398&Itemid=1');" target="_blank">currently stunting with Irish Music</a> as “103.7 The Leprechaun“, promising to open its pot of gold on Wednesday, March 17 aka. St. Patrick’s Day. All signs point to a Dam launching, as the following domains were registered by Cumulus last week: 1037thedam.com, 1037thedamn.com, Dam1037.com, Damn1037.com, TheDam1037.com, TheDamn1037.com, DamNation1037.com, and DamnNation1037.com. All currently redirect to Cumulus.com. Cumulus acquired K225AW from Horizon Christian Fellowship last August for $31,500. The translator has since been upgraded from 99 watts at 1007 feet above sea level on 92.9 in Independence, MO to 250 watts @ 2037 feet at 103.7 licensed to Kansas City.</blockquote> <a href="http://radioinsight.com/cumulus-launches-new-kansas-city-fm/" target="_blank">Cumulus Launches New Kansas City FM</a>  radiosyn on "Memo puts WGN news staffers at a loss for words" http://radioinsight.com/boards/topic/18731#post-75091 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 10:08:05 +0000 radiosyn 75091@http://radioinsight.com/boards/ <blockquote>Sure, you’d think the chief executive officer of a company struggling to emerge from bankruptcy and desperate to salvage an $8 billion buyout-gone-bad would have better things to do than pester his underlings with crazy proclamations.

Just Dance is now an AC recurrent; it's a former "AC Top 40" hit. I'd say, blame Katy Perry. When Hot and Cold made it to the AC airplay chart, a lot of people said that a "limit" was broken. The Lady GaGa songs on the AC listing may be deceiving, though. "Old fashioned" AC stations aren't playing them. "Lite Rock" stations are (such as WFPG, Atlantic City). Could it be that B101 is moving away from "Soft AC" to the "Lite Rock" formula? It would make sense in a way -- to head off another station from attempting to hurt them with a borderline-Hot AC.
