Or are they just trying to push CBS to make a move? iHeart has registered <a href="http://DetroitNews1067.com">DetroitNews1067.com</a> and <a href="http://1067NewsRadio.com">1067NewsRadio.com</a> for what is now Classic Rock "<a href="http://thedrocks.iheart.com/">106.7 The D</a>" WDTW-FM. A flip to News or News/Talk would place WDTW-FM in competition with Cumulus' News/Talk <a href="http://www.wjr.com/">760 WJR</a> and CBS Radio's News <a href="http://detroit.cbslocal.com/station/wwj-newsradio-950/">950 WWJ</a>, which had a 6.7 and 5.4 share respectively in the December Nielsen Audio ratings. Perhaps in a partnership with Digital First Media's <a href="http://www.detroitnews.com/">The Detroit News</a>? However, with CBS recently dropping CHR in Houston and Philadelphia, is iHeart trying to prod the company into not shifting CHR "<a href="http://987ampradio.cbslocal.com/">98.7 Amp Radio</a>" WDZH to something that would hurt AC <a href="http://wnic.iheart.com/">100.3 WNIC</a>? We <a href="http://radioinsight.com/blogs/110210/what-does-last-weeks-format-action-mean-for-the-rest-of-2017/">speculated on such a move</a> earlier this week. WDTW-FM placed eighteenth in the ratings with a 2.4 share in the most recent monthly. <hr /> With the <a href="http://radioinsight.com/headlines/110264/wnyy-to-drop-liberal-talk-for-oldies/">upcoming flip</a> of 1470 WNYY Ithaca NY to "<strong>Pure Oldies</strong>", Saga Communication has also registered to potentially bring the brand to Springfield IL. News/Talk <a href="http://wtax.com/">1240 WTAX</a> recently moved its FM translator from 107.5 to 93.5 and plans on launching <a href="http://PureOldies1075.com">PureOldies1075.com</a> at the end of January. <hr /> Cox Media Group Sports "<a href="http://sportsradio860.com/">CBS Sports 860</a>" KONO San Antonio could be heading to a new format. Cox registered <a href="http://86KONO.com">86KONO.com</a> perhaps returning the staton to Oldies and its old Top 40 branding from the 1960s and 70s. <hr /> With Townsquare Media Active Rock "<a href="http://planet1051.com/">Planet Radio 105.1</a>" KFTE Lafayette LA adding the syndicated Walton & Johnson Show on Monday, January 16 will the station segue to Classic Rock to better fit the show? The company has registered <a href="http://ClassicRock1051.com">ClassicRock1051.com</a>. <hr /> iHeart has also registered <a href="http://969TheBullFM.com">969TheBullFM.com</a> this week. The likely destination is AC "96.9 My-FM" 1420 WACT/96.9 W245BR Tuscaloosa AL. <hr /> <strong>Anonymous Registrations: </strong><a href="http://985TheRiver.com">985TheRiver.com</a> and <a href="http://Pop1009.com">Pop1009.com</a>. Also anonymous registrations for <a href="http://1061Fresh.com">1061Fresh.com</a>, <a href="http://1061RNB.com">1061RNB.com</a>, <a href="http://1061Smooth.com">1061Smooth.com</a>, <a href="http://1061TheBass.com">1061TheBass.com</a>, <a href="http://1061TheTouch.com">1061TheTouch.com</a>, <a href="http://1061Wild.com">1061Wild.com</a>, <a href="http://Fresh1061.com">Fresh1061.com</a>, <a href="http://Smooth1061.com">Smooth1061.com</a>, <a href="http://TheBass1061.com">TheBass1061.com</a>, and <a href="http://TheTouch1061.com">TheTouch1061.com</a> point to Beasley Media's upcoming relaunch of 1330 WRCA Watertown/106.1 W291CZ Boston MA. However between the recent flip of Entercom's <a href="http://977rnb.com/">97.7 WKAF</a> to Urban AC, that they did not come from Beasley's usual registrar, and use of brands used by a local <a href="http://touchfm.org/">Boston pirate</a> and <a href="http://qprsites.com/">AM Urban AC</a> make it doubtful these are legitimate registrations for WRCA.
