it's the nature of radio- if you catch lightning in a bottle- clone it as many times as you possibly can.
same with "the eagle", "the edge", "kiss", "Jack" - there are lots of them...and most of them are pretty dang homogenous.

Yeah, and you know what? In a lot of cases, they have to pay for it. They make jokes about it, but other stations pay money to emmulate the Ticket. There is a station in LA that uses the same ticker and traffic music, breaks are at the same time too.
It isn't true in every case, but it happens a lot. For example, every "Young Country" station had to pay money to 105.3 back in the day.
