Also worth quoting from the same article, Nashville consultant Robert  
Unmacht:

"''No one has been able to tell me of one all-music, no-air-talent  
station that is leading in the ratings that was able to stay  
talent-less for long,' says Unmacht. 'They change their minds . . .  
after the novelty wears off.'"
