Comment on Does The Bonneville Radio Chain Hate Urban Music? In fairness to the new owners they only got the station as Radio One could not make money with V100, despite several format alterations. The station was loosing a reported $5,000,000 a year. How can the new owner pay the $137,000,000 price tag while loosing all that money keeping V100 in a R&B format? If the station was and could make money as is, Radio One would not be selling it. They would rather stay in L.A. if there was money to made. They said so many times. Good stations are taken off the air all the time, sometime they go to black formats other times they drop them. Radio One has changes several stations from formats some people loved to R&B formats that other listeners loved as much. It is the nature of radio. V100 was a great sounding radio station and it will be missed just as so many other great radio stations that are no longer with us.

So call Oprah. She can afford the price of a few radio stations.

I'm sure whatever they ultimately go with, their on-air slogan will go something like, More of the music you love, without any of those pesky black people!
