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)
