After hearing the disappointing news that WMCR is going the route of syndicated cookie cutter programming out of some remote location, this might be the shot in the arm we're waiting for. I'd like to see somebody come in and kick butt with local radio playing jukebox or riding the satellite with blah, blah, blah. Who cares what call letters would be used, as long as its worth listening to. I know, WRUN is a classic letter combination for Utica and the logo could still be the little guy running next to the calls, but there have been a lot of changes over the years at WRUN. Maybe a new identity would bring a breath of fresh air to a ho-hum sounding market. Nobody is doing country oldies, and could the old block programming work in todays competitive radio market? Please, not another sports or news station. I hope that the new station at 1150 will program using live,local announcers.
