**[Guest Name]:** Well, it seems clear that themed programming is proving to be a winning formula.

But it’s also important to remember that Qmusic has been steadily building a strong brand and loyal listenership over time.

**[Guest Name]:** 538 needs to find a way to reconnect with its audience and perhaps explore new avenues to stay relevant in a rapidly changing media landscape.
