With the worst signal profile, I might add. I used to like listening,
but 104 won't come in reliably at home, and not at all where I work.
But to the point... write it off and hope another station picks up the
format. This decision was most likely mandated by absentee owners, and
the local manager had/has little control over it. It wouldn't surprise
me if the manager was about to be fired, as well. (I don't have any
inside information, but I was in radio for a number of years, and I've
seen this type of thing many times before)
