We are now going on day 3, and the HOT 89.9 website still hasn't been fixed. Many in the industry are speculating that this could be a publicity stunt, and that a format change to Alternative will take place at noon on Monday. www.hot899.comThe "hacked" website features Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People" playing in the background, with a skull and crossbones in a red backdrop and a MONDAY NOON displayed in white caps. I seriously doubt a format change is imminent. I'll keep you posted though.

They leaned Active then changed their sound a couple of years ago by adding more female friendly Rock and Modern AC staples. Once X-fm went off the air back in January, many believed they would lean more Active again. They have not.

It was confirmed that the "hacking" was a publicity stunt to attract listeners to their relaunched website. HOT remains a very very rhythmic leaning CHR/Pop.
