Re-the Mix thread below:
So what is a real CHR?
To me it is a station that plays mostly current and new "Top 40" tracks with a few "Top 40" oldies/recurrents thrown in for variety.
Mix 99.9 plays more recurrents/older tracks...admittedly now mostly tracks that have been CHR hits..than current/new tracks. So is the Mix a real CHR because of that or is it in transition to become a real CHR over the next few weeks?
CHUM-FM and Mix (especially CHUM, which has a greater emphasis on currents) are somewhere between Hot A/C and CHR...maybe "adult CHR". And both stations rotate their "heavies" as much or more than most Canadian CHR stations.
Astral has two very successful real CHR stations...Hot 103-Winnipeg and Vibe-Calgary, so there is no reason they could not make it work elsewhere...ie Toronto and maybe that is where they are headed with Mix.
