Atlantic City/Cape May WMID soon to be on FM?

Unless they mentioned a specific frequency, no real way to tell. They might be buying a translator.
 
I listened to WWAC online this afternoon during the big blizzard. Sounded like very generic satellite country programming. The Hot Country imaging hardly fits the low key woman on the air, and no local storm information. With WPUR and Thunder Country both more personality-driven with local information, I’m not sure where WWAC fits in. Sounds like a station you’d listen to only if there was no other country station in the market.

With the audience for new country being well received with at least four stations reaching part of the market, why not do a classic country format instead? It would be something different, and you would attract the audience that doesn’t care for the pop & hip hop influenced music that gets passed off as country today. It’s hard to say how much of an audience that is, but it has to be more than what’s left of a pie dominated by Cat, XTU & Country Thunder.
 
Is XTU listenable in Atlantic City/Ocean City anymore with a translator on 92.3 and an LPFM on 92.7? These days classic country stations are mostly 1980’s-90’s and up. WPUR has been the longest lasting country station in AC since 1998, so the audience who know that era of country would be there. I still think of classic country as concentrating on 1950’s to 1970’s like SXM Willie’s Roadhouse but I am way past any target demographic. In the 60s to 90’s country radio jumped all over the AC dial from WLDB to WIIBG to WKOE so songs from that era may have no recognition. LIsten to WSIG 96.9 Harrisonburg, Virginia market for a good example of today’s classic country stations, some ratings they pass the contemporary country station WKCY.
 
Similarly, I wonder if Beasley will ever decide to move WMTR 1250 AM in Morris County over to FM?.. Or at least onto one of their HD channels of 105.5 WDHA and perhaps one of their neighboring Market signals in Monmouth/Ocean County
 
did anyone else notice since the move off the defunct murray avenue tower now back at 1kw on the wibg site they are much stronger I have been receiving them in CC but I think WHAT has been off the air.....
