If this is the same one I saw while watching a show on Fox, it didn't make clear what was happening. The channel number is so small some people might think it's the Fox station making the switch.
Yes as others have pointed ot WCCB has reinvented itself before so it will again. They seem to have all the good sebchannels!
Back then WCCB was one of the FOX network's highest rated affiliates, so perhaps FOX may have pursued a direct acquisition but Bahakel refused to sell. Seems like that was unconfirmed speculation at the time. So FOX acquired WJZY from Capitol instead. Then later FOX sold WJZY and WMYT to Nexstar, the current owners now.
If memory serves I think WSOC farmed them out to their sister station WAXN
There is no telling what they have planned…looks like WCCB News Rising is going away and other shows as well
I don’t expect them to change much with their daytime schedule. They have kind of been rolling out the same Maury type talk shows for years. They could start an evening newscast at 6 and move a few of their late night shows to prime time. I’m not sure how successful they will be going forward without being on streaming. The stations in Miami and Atlanta that went independent recently were dropped by the streaming services since they were no longer tied to a network.
I had some friends put my antenna on the roof and I still get dropouts on all the stations even the strong signals like WBTV, WSOC and WCCB. It drives me crazy. Not sure what the signal problem is. I even have a cell phone filter in line.
May be overload from strong signals. Perhaps add an FM filter. Sold by Channel Master.
I think it would be smart if they did
Fred can do his radio show from anywhere on the planet. So he can move to Charlotte and still do his Chicago show. These days, many announcers are not in the local studios - especially true of the big corporate owners like Cumulus, iHeart, etc.
Since he was popular during his previous tenure on 96.1, you would think they would consider returning him to the morning show, since the current program seems to struggle. Especially if he still works for iHeart.
At the end of the Sunday night newscast they mentioned the new 9pm program and the new studio. But no mention of losing the CW. But increasing local news at 9:00 and adding SVU at 8:00 seems to fill the 2 hour gap. So not really a major loss, except maybe some CW sports broadcasts. But the new studio looks very nice and the Edge is back with the old hosts and Brotha Fred. I think they will survive just fine.
