A Heritage Station Returns To Its Heritage

Written Mar. 19, 2008 by Sean Ross in Terrestrial Radio with 0 Comments

It doesn't stream its signal yet, so unless you're in Upstate New York, you probably haven't had a chance to hear Entercom's newly acquired WPXY Rochester recently, so it's worth noting that the heritage CHR has returned to the mainstream-to-rhythmic side of the format, after a period of leaning more adult/Modern AC and competing more with Modern AC WDVI (the Drive) than Rhythmic WKGS. Here's the station in middays yesterday:

Justin Timberlake, "SexyBack"
Linkin Park, "Shadow of the Day"
Alicia Keys, "No One"
Akon, "Don't Matter"
Miley Cyrus, "See You Again"
Rihanna, "Don't Stop the Music"
Sean Kingston, "Take You There"
Colbie Caillat, "Bubbly"
Beyonce, "Crazy In Love"
Chris Brown, "With You"
