Acadia Broadcasting has made a surprising move by bringing back Soft AC to 1450 KSIG/95.1 K236CW Crowley LA, nearly three years after abandoning the format. Positioned as 'Relaxing Lite Favorites with the Variety You Crave', the brand previously operated on these signals from October 2018 until it took on the Classic Country 'Freedom' brand in April 2023. But here's where it gets controversial... While the station has a 0.4 share in the Fall 2025 Nielsen Audio ratings, some may question whether this move will resonate with the local audience. Will listeners embrace the return of Soft AC, or is it a step too far? And this is the part most people miss... The station's previous incarnation as 'Sunny 95.1' had a dedicated following, but the transition to Classic Country didn't quite hit the mark. Will the new Soft AC format be able to recapture that loyalty? We invite you to share your thoughts in the comments. Do you think the return of Soft AC will be a success, or is it a step in the wrong direction? We want to hear from you!
