Good Day Charlotte seems to be more like their sister station WAGA's Good Day Atlanta, where there is aim to have contemporary music played particularly Billboard Hot 100 songs during the newscast bumpers. Brigida is definitely a relatable personality and seems to bring appeal to the growing number of black professionals that are relocating to Charlotte. It's going to be interesting how GDC evolves with Brigida there as well as Nick, Paige, and Jason are very relatable to younger viewers (25-45 year olds) in general. This might be the right mix for the station to accelerate ratings growth for WJZY in the mornings. This is also giving credence to the second thoughts because Charlotte is a significant growth and very competitive media market with growing household incomes.
