I was really liking it at first, but they have greatly reduced the amount of alternative music they play and are playing a lot of generic CJ92 like rock now. Every song they play sounds like Hedley to me now.
Today at work, we officially gave up on it and changed the station for the first time this month.

Completely unsurprising. Happens all the time, especially those who cliam to be niche stations.
Q107 played all sorts of obscure stuff when it started..to their credit, they still play a fair share of B sides, but a couple months in, you heard the standarad popular classic rock. Vibe too...not as "urban" as it was when started.
In X's case, like others, a lot of huffing and puffing in advance to claim about how different you are/going to be/breath of fresh air.
But, it doesn't take long for the managers/owners to start looking at hard numbers and realizing that being so niche is going to run them out of business a lot sooner then expected.
