INSTANT INSIGHT: Five years ago, I co-developed “2K1” as the first format dedicated to hits of this era emphasizing 1997 to 2012 with a presentation replicating the CHR sound of the time. While the pandemic ended our chances of bringing the format to market at the time, we have since seen many CHRs increasingly become reliant on golds from this era and now a major market station has jumped on the same concept. If your station is looking for a unique hole with a well researched library, reach out.
