Springfield Update
December 3, 2006
Things have been quiet in the format as of late. No new affiliates, no drops, nothing. The depth of the Variety Hits format is helping it to avoid the burn problem that plagued so many niche formats of the past decade (i.e. Rhythmic Oldies, 80s, etc.)
To clarify the situation with Springfield, MO, I'm told that, while the market is outside the Top 100, Clear Channel does not have plans (as of now) to sell off the stations that it owns there. If that holds true, there will be no stations in the Variety Hits format to be affected by the sell off (well, besides those hit with staff cuts due to across-the-board budget slashes in markets that are being retained by Clear Channel.)
