According to the other site, Binnie Media may have some changes in store for listeners north of Boston. Seeing how they referred to the areas impacted as “Northern New England” instead of a single market, I’m guessing that these changes will impact multiple markets (similar to the changes they made last spring). Any guesses as to what the format/branding changes might be? I’m hoping that the Bay comes back, but since it hasn’t even been 3 months since Frank 98.7 started, I’m not getting my hopes up too high.

Binnie is irrelevant in Massachusetts, when 106.3 was towered in Hudson they rim shotted down into Wilmington and Woburn, that is about it... although they did place in the ratings a couple of times..
Since they 1) went to classic hits from Classic Rock, they lost me as a all day listener. Plus moving Mike Haze all over then off the schedule did not help.
2) sh*tcanned the very capable Nick Carpenelli to bring a near 70 year old out of retirement to do their morning show I don't even tune in to them in AM drive
3) who was the washed up sports guy they brought in for PM drive? Granted he is gone but there was another reason for XM radio listening.
4) what was that God awful morning show they had.. an Optometrist and Tracey something. Sure take them off your Northern NH goat roping station and use them in the heavily populated Southern NH area... How did that work out Doc? Oh ya Doc was sh*tcanned and then brought back to do PM drive after the failed jock sniffer was shown the door.
Why Binnie is still in radio is beyond me.... he is too busy doing other business ventures, he took the $$$$ and ran on the repack sale of WBIN TV50 leaving southern NH with not a lot of nothing in return.

Was it Mike Adams, afternoon "sports guy" turned DJ?
Adams just joked on Twitter that WEEI should "change to all talk, and hire of staff of mimes."

Where is the tower for 106.3 located now?
Are all of the "Frank-FM's" that Binnie owns simulcast? Or are they all individually programmed?
Three Binnie owned Franks in NH are simulcast, one in Maine is local
Frank Vermont is not owned by Binnie Media and does not use Binnie content
Actually, there are four nearly-simulcast Frank FM stations in New Hampshire. 106.3 WFNQ Nashua is the flagship, where most of the programming originates. It is fully simulcast on 99.1 WNNH Henniker NH. WFNQ covers Manchester and southern suburbs. WNNH covers the suburbs north of Manchester, and Concord.
Earlier this year, it added two more Frank FM stations, 98.7 WBYY Somersworth (serving the Portsmouth market) and 98.3 WLNH-FM Laconia (serving the Lakes Region). They carry the same music and DJ chatter, but run their own local commercials during breaks.
WLNH-FM also carries the New England Patriots football games, even though the other stations do not.

Actually, WFNQ also carries Patriots games. Only reason I know is that I'm at peewee football games during most games, and I use the Next Radio app on my phone to listen to the Patriots. I pick it up better on WFNQ than I do on WBZ-FM.
