Concurrent with the move of 104.1 KVDU Houma to the Baton Rouge market and its flip from Variety Hits “104.1 The Spot” to Adult R&B "104.1 The Vibe", iHeartMedia has completed the move of Rock "103.7 The Fox" WFFX Hattiesburg MS into the New Orleans market.

Guess they decided to use the Vibe to go after Q106.5 in BR. Only time will tell if the market can handle two Adult R&Bs.
Busted out my Sangean HDT-1 tuner a little while ago, and the only iHeart FM that I see in HD is 96.1 KRVE.
Interesting, and 'FMF and WYNK have been in and out of full service for several weeks. Wonder what's going on there.... Thanks for the report on KVDU
If 103.7 is Halloween music till November 1st, will Christmas music be on till December 26? And what will it be after that
I am thinking Adult Hits or AC to compete head-on with Magic.Perhaps we will get some hints when Christmas season rolls around.
Last I heard which was several years back, they were still running tube rigs. Maybe they are revamping the plant? They may have sustained damage in Francine as well?
Hot 107.9 is a Rhythmic not Urban. 107.9 presents themselves as Top-40 hits despite the Hip Hop-heavy (and small!) playlist. But the Urban format would compete against 94.1
104.1 will definitely pull down 106.5 down in ratings but 94.1 will probably get #1 spot, which still gives Cumulus the upper hand ratings-wise. But this may give a chance for WFMF or WYNK #2 if 104.1 is effective enough in pulling 106.5's ratings down. But chances are 106.5 will still be in top 2 considering BR's black population and plus Q106.5 is heritage. Maybe 104.1 might even become #3. But only time will tell
What do you get with a premium membership there? All I can find is where to sign up but nothing about what you get with the membership. Is it just access to members only posts?
From what I can tell not too much. Domain registrations..
I’d personally ask Lance, since he’s the owner/operator of the site, and is one of the admins here…
I’m a member, and it’s only $5/month. I’m cool with that.
@lanceventa can you tell us what the benefits of a radio insight premium membership? Thanks.
All of the Domain Insight reports and the full weekly FCC Report are currently behind the paywall. There are some additional features coming as well as we further integrate this site into RadioInsight as well.
Awesome, how's the sound quality given there are no subchannels?
It sounded good, it has been locking pretty well in Lafayette the last few mornings.
i heard it this morning in lafayette by UL's rec center. Surprising for an 18kw station all the way in BR. Tropo must have been strong b/c i was also catching Beaumont's 102.5 and 104.5 pretty clearly. Also heard Beaumont's 94.1 trying to lock in over BR's 94.1. I even heard the classic rockers from Houston.
