A couple of years ago, KC101 (WKCI Hamden 101.3) was playing so much
'80s music I thought they were about to introduce the format. But they
backed off noticeably and have become in recent months more of a
rhythmic-leaning CHR.

I'm a little on the old side of the target demographic, but I wouldn't
mind an early-to-mid-80s-focused format at all. At least it would get me
out of the WDRC-FM/WPLR/WZMX preset-pushing rut I've been in all year.

Speaking of WKCI, with 'DRC-FM's abandonment of "Big D 103," is "KC101"
now the Hartford-New Haven ID/slogan longevity champ?
