That was my thought. Clear Channel recently flipped urban WPHH Hartford to
'90s-centric alternative, jockless, then announced that the station was for
sale a couple of months later. So '90s alternative would appear to be
nothing more than an on-the-cheap placeholder format on 104.1. Could the
format on 92.5 in Boston be serving a similar purpose?
