Well, Jammin Oldies doesn't impress me as a real urban station.  They
sound like more of an uptempo oldies station that specializes in music
from the late 60's and early seventies.

I don't get the impression that WVCR will be really competitive. 
Interesting about Buzz, though... is he programming their music?  The
signal and dial position are not really conducive to major amounts of
listeners.

I agree with your comment, though about the signals in black populated
areas.  I'm not sure, though that even the higher power stations can
boast of decent signals in north-central and central Troy
