I've always felt that the problem is that they make a half hearted attempt 
at smooth jazz.  If you listen to a typical hour there's about a 0/0 mix of 
smooth jazz with AC Vocals.  Sometimes the station sounds too much like its 
sister WMJX.

In other markets NAC (smooth jazz) has done well but if you listen to the 
stations (by internet or in person) you don't get a constant feeding of 
Madonna, Janet Jackson and Kenny G. once an hour.  Check out WLVE 94.5 Fort 
Lauderdale (available on the web) or CD101 in NYC and you'll hear the 
difference.
