Flocked TO 95.7? Maybe its younger listeners.
Someone was speaking of Ben FM?
What will Beasely do to WPEN adult top 40? the station is far behind WIP
His debt situation is very different from Beasley's.
Classical is already being done on WRTI.
Effectively no one listens to or cares an iota about the HD2. The idea that it’s been sitting there being paid no attention to means it somehow would be a logical choice for the main signal makes zero business sense whatsoever. And what some random old man does with a toy he owns that happens to be a radio station doesn’t change that reality.
They just hired a new AM host, and hold the radio broadcast rights to the Flyers and Sixers. I don't see the Fanatic going anywhere.
Plus, 97.5 tried AC/Hot AC (Remember the short lived Now 97.5?) Sure that was a decade+ ago. But in a pandemic era where WIOQ, WTDY, and WBEB are all showing not so hot numbers, I wouldn't want to throw my hat into that ring.
Second place sports can still be a valuable contributor within the cluster. How you manage the budget matters, but having the Sixers/Flyers rights is a good opportunity.
And in LA on KUSC's big Mount Harvard FM signal, which makes Saul's move on 1260 all the more puzzling.
He thinks all-digital gives him an edge. Classical listeners tend to be audiophiles.
WIOQ and WBEB are both doing okay but yeah your right. I just think a music format of some sort would be cheaper to run and do
They already have Ben-FM. Nothing could be cheaper to run than BEN-FM. They don't need another cheap music station. They need a station that attracts men 25-54. That's what they have with the fanatic.
He'll still end up with a lower bitrate on all-digital AM (36 kbps is the max it can do, and it falls back to 20 kbps in weaker-signal areas) than KUSC has for its hybrid digital signal, which is doing either 48 or 64 kbps.
Defining them as “Ok” isn’t the same as there being room to split that audience further. And the B is already depressed from one-time heights—I’m not attributing one cause to that, but it’s not as if there isn’t another AC in town. (And there are two CHRs, so where is the space for anything adult/CHR oriented?)
WPST doesn't do to bad in the philadelphia book for an out of market radio station
They aren’t a Philly station. They don’t target the whole metro. Apples and watermelons.
Now 97.5 had an awesome Christmas music playlist the one year that it lasted
I'm not arguing that they're not a Philly station. I'm just stating that they do siphon off a not-insignificant number of listeners in the metro.
