The sale is old news, happened 2 months ago. It was 9 AM's in the most recent sell off, but that count didnt include the associated translators.

Dallas and Atlant went to RR programming this past week. I'd caught KEXB 1440 runnign a re-direct loop for Radio Luz listeners to mvoe to 620.. then caught RR the next day.

Denver's KDMT 1690 is coming any day now and St Louis 1260 WSDZ and KFXN 1380 are happening in about 2 weeks.
 
There's not much you're going to be able to do with a daytimer these days...except serve as the home station for a translator.

Please don't listen if you don't like the format. But for some, it is a unique and very important offering. As such, a good use for one of the many bad AM facilities in the market.

A. I first worked in radio in 1959 and still do; owned my first station when you were 7 years old.
B. I did not "mock" your statement. In fact, your statement was offensive to Christians and particularly to Catholics, whose doctrine you called "BS".
C. As if it mattered, but one of my daughters lives in Atlanta and I know it well. I don't live at the South Pole, but I can still have an opinion about the melting of the Arctic icecap.

WELL, Damn man you are way out of the demo like I am. I was raised Catholic, so don't preach to me..I am simply giving my opinion of the dreadful racist radio in the Atlanta market..There is NO variety whatsoever. Either you, not meaning you, are a black hip hopper, or a Christian conservative, Just threw up.. HAPPY HALLOWEEN

You are applying stereotypes, and that is often at the root of racial profiling.

If you are Catholic, you might want to think about Confession and mentioning that you called Catholic radio programming "bs".

How is a radio dial that goes from Regional Mexican to Urban with many stops in between "racist" in any way? The advertising industry has long known that money is always green and has no race. The first station I worked for was called "r&b" at the time and The Mighty Mo was among the top billers in what was then a top 20 market.

Hip hop fans can be Black, white, Hispanic, Asian or whatever. The music long ago crossed racial lines, even though the most inspired and successful artists are African American. Just like Jazz and Rock and Roll and Salsa and Reggaeton (to name a few) there is African inspiration in much of today's music and that's generally a good thing.

So I don't find being called a hip hop partisan to be the insult you intended.

And, proving the final one of your stereotypical responses to be wrong, I am not a conservative Christian. I am, as is even publicly stated in my resume, a Catholic and have even programmed Church-owned stations in several nations in Latin America.

Or maybe I read your sentence structure wrong... and you mean the only radio formats in Atlanta are intended for young African Americans or conservative Christians. I see varieties of country, AC, rock, alt, news/talk, sports, Regional Mexican, Latin Pop/CHR, Catholic religion, business news, classic hits/oldies, jazz, Korean pop, NPR with Classical, Gospel, and others or even cross-genre hybrids. I see Urban and Urban contemporary on a number of signals, but those signals (WVEE, WAMJ, WUMJ, WHTA, WRDG, WWSZ are only 6 out of the 85 signals licensed to the metro while the population overall is 35% Black.

So, please think through your assumptions when you respond on this forum. So far, they have been incorrect in every instance.

From EWTN

EWTN and RR are very different.

EWTN is preaching to the choir, dry and boring. RR is more lively and engaging
 
One of the hosts on RR used to be on EWTN. It will be interesting to see how TWO Catholic stations, side by side, will get along.
If I were RR I would re-brand to something else. Relevant Radio is very vague. I would call it CIA Radio Catholics In Action.
You've got to have a gimmick these days.
