Meanwhile, the new 100.5 format will be introduced at 6 a.m. Monday. At 10 a.m., 100.5 began looping a fake contest offering eight format choices they want listeners to "vote" on, none of which will likely be the actual format. Most are redundant or not commercially viable anymore though a couple could possibly do fine in this market. The eight "formats" are "Trickle," a soft soft rock station, an oldies station, yet another country station, a "death metal" station, an FM talk station, a comedy channel (cue satellite radio!), a "silence" channel and an all-sound effects channel. Somehow, polka and all-Elvis didn't make the cut. Seriously, the station will be a rock format on Monday. Realistically, Rock 100.5 could sound like the old 96rock and straddle between Project and the River.

At The Berkshire, in the blossoming Stapleton area, the universe is aligned with intoxicating food, a lovely staff and animated crowds having the time of their lives. This is the perfect neighborhood restaurant, an unpretentious, come-as-you-are, uncomplicated gathering spot for friends, couples, stroller-toting families and anyone who has never had peanut butter, bacon and bananas on buttered and grilled Hawaiian bread.
