WAOK Overnights

R

RadioRonnie285

Been working the evening shift and was hearing WZGC include WAOK and WVEE HD3 in its legal ID. I tuned in during the day and it was still talk on 1380 WAOK. So Im assuming they simlucasting 7pm to 6am now.
 
Why would WZGC need a simulcast? I can see WAOK needing a simulcast, but not on WZGC.

I wonder if someone got their wires crossed at Audacy.
 
Its been simulcasting WZGC over night and evenings for several years. Simulcasting WZGC was a purely economic move at the time.

WAOK has a decent night signal, especially for its demo. Surprised they couldn't just find something syndicated or reruns to cover that air time. Or maybe throw on some random Audacy online station that would be simpatico to WAOK's demo.

WZGC just sounds like a REALLY odd choice unless there's demand for basketball on AM.

Ok but I swear hearing both stations legal id on 92.9 is a new thing, the simlucast is not new though I see.

It could be a back of the house budget cut. If WAOK was taking the WZGC feed through it's automation and then inserting a legal ID, that meant someone had to program/set it up each week. I realize it is a small task, but it is a task. Somebody could have said lets stop doing that and just take the straight feed off of WZGC and let WZGC do the ID's for everything.

Another possibility is the automation at WVEE HD-3/WAOK were mis-firing or missing the legal idea on a regular basis. Rather than hunting down the problem, it would be easy to just have WZGC do the IDs for everything.

Wonder why they can't be transparent on their website. It just says "WAOK Late Night". An ATL TV station would never be that vague.
