The Most Intriguing New Stations Of 2005

Just as Jack- and Bob-FMs dominated the radio programming headlines in 2005, a lot of last year’s format innovation went into creating new variants – a Country version, an older leaning version, a Spanish version, a Rock version, and so forth. So whatever the long-term fate of Reggaeton, it was encouraging to see some stations riding a new movement. This week’s Ross On Radio looks at the Most Intriguing New Stations Of 2005 – whether gold- or current-driven.

This Is What It Sounds Like When Formats Die (Or Don’t)

Top 40 radio was declared dead by the industry in 1982 and 1992, but it remains with us today. Country was pronounced dead by the consumer press in the late ’80s and again in the mid-’90s. Now Country is booming again and it’s Rock radio’s turn to be whispered about. But any student of format cycles knows that no format ever entirely loses its audience-even if owners freak out and move on to something else. But formats can become so fragmented in a given market that it looks like they’re faltering. Or the coalition audience that powers most format booms can move on.
