Say goodbye to The Peach

I'm not impressed with their presentation. All hardcore all the time, isn't my thing. Sorry about that.

Looks like Great South Wireless has agreed to sell WHPH to TBTA Ministries for $525,000. They will put their rock/rap hybrid Christian format "Revocation Radio" on the frequency when the deal closes.

Zach, do you think Summit Media/Great South Wireless (or whatever other names they go by these days) might move the intellectual property of the Peach (calls and format) to one of their other stations? Only candidate I figure might be possible would be WPYA "97.3 PLAY", given its poor ratings, although WPYA has shown some improvements in the Nielsens during the last ratings period, at least in the 12+ numbers.
 
I'm going to miss The Peach too. Their music mix was something different, fresh and exciting. Oh well, I can still hear them in The Gump, at 93.5, unless that station is fixing to be sold too.

I suppose it's possible. Best I can tell, the sale of the station from Great South to Summit never went through. I dunno if they'd blow up 97.3 to go oldies, but I bet it could wind up on a translator fed by an AM or HD2 feed.

As far as I can tell, the sale did not affect 93.5 in Montgomery.

Regarding the sale of WHPH to Summit...I was unaware of this until someone who was formerly with Summit Media confirmed it. Since Summit Media doesn't actually own the intellectual property of the "Peach" but the Reynolds family does, there appears to be no way that the Peach could continue, unless Reynolds sold the intellectual property of the station to another party. From what i understand, Reynolds and Summit Media did not part on good terms, so that seems to preclude any sale of the "Peach" intellectual property, at least to Summit Media. Summit could do away with "PLAY" on 97.3 as you mentioned and go with some type of classic hits format, as there would be a void in the market for that type of programming once 97.7 moves to all christian programming. As to whether that will happen on WPYA...
 
Could Summit put a classic hits format on 92.3? It doesn't make a lot of sense to duplicate the format that's on 107.3 on that channel as well.

93.5 is still going. Have not heard a commercial since they signed on except for the Alexander Shunarrah ads that run during Yellowhammer News, and weekend syndicated shows. They never did simulcast WHPH, except for Sunday mornings I think.

That makes sense, since 97.7 only IDs as WHPH, Jemison. There is never any reference to Montgomery's WPHH in the hourly station ID.

Hey Dan! I'm Jon, the GM at Revocation Radio. Thank you for all that you do for the Kingdom on your station down in Selma. I'm sorry you feel that way about our presentation, brother. If you would have listened to the station for about 15 minutes, you would have heard that we mix multiple ranges of rock and rock ballads, as well as pop, alternative, and hip-hop. We actually play zero full bore hardcore songs. Although, there are a few rock songs we play that have minimal moments of "growling" or what some would consider "screamo" verses, but never a whole song.
 
Doing the mainstream CCM and SG thing is working well for me. I had no plans of doing SG period but God and a few other factors led to me playing some. Wish I could play more of the harder tunes but Selma seems to be supporting the broadcast, as I currently have it. No need to rock my boat right now. Things are going great and hope to keep it that way.

Dan <><
