You were talking about GNN. 105.3 in the Whiteville area can be heard all the way from Bennettsville almost to Myrtle Beach.
I didn't see it but I was trying to say the station that may be GNN in Florence used to mess up Joy 92.

OSF was #1 in the market a couple of months ago, and they’re beating BAV in the demos. They’re Radio One Charlotte’s most successful station ratings wise. Plus, it’s cheap to operate. The midday host is APD/MD, and the only other local hosts are Jerome who is the Production Director for the whole cluster, and Melanie who is PD/midday host on Praise who both voicetrack weekends.
I must have missed the recent numbers. The last thing I remember is WOSF being way down. Maybe that was WBAV.
They’re both down right now, but historically, OSF is the highest rated station in the cluster. They’re not going to blow the station up because of a couple of bad months.
Oh, gotcha! I was talking about 100.3 (I believe it was), so we were like five MHZ off LOL.
I think you said 100.3 was GNN in the New Bern area. At least that's what would have led to that.
so as of me discovering this at 7 PM, former-WLNK 100.9 Indian Trail NC has now officially become WYFQ-FM 100.9 Weddington, NC, from its former "Mix" CHR format, to now being (another) affiliate of Bible Broadcasting Network
hard to say exactly for when the switch happened, but i speculate that it might have been sometime around the afternoon hours (note that i didn't do a check on 100.9 during this time), because i did a daily check this morning on 100.9 for them to still be off the air during then (as they have been for the past 3 days since the start of the transitioning), but now it's actually official this time
i'll say this...for as long as i've been knowing of WLNK itself for, i can't say i have too much fond memories of them since i didn't listen to them too much (nothing to do with the station, but it was more of me getting to know it among other stations despite me being a 7-8 year enthusiast), but i first knew of WLNK long enough back when they were known as "107.9 The Link" back in maybe 2019-2020 in my time, and i wouldn't rule out a couple of times (especially recently) where i was listening (maybe jamming a bit) to some songs through WLNK/WMXG while having it in the background. so as far as WLNK's history overall (and going beyond my time in radio), and for the sake of me even being a radio observer in my hometown of Charlotte, i'll sure definitely be missing them since it's taking away a piece of what used to be part of Charlotte's radio world...only for it to be traded over for just another existing syndicated Christian Radio network (which i get that its part of what's now going in the radio world these days, but come on though)

by the way, aside from WYFQ, the 93.7 translator W229CF is still broadcasting, and since Tuesday the 2nd, WBT HD2 107.9 has now updated its programming data as "WBT HD2-Praise"/"Religious Music" (on the 1st, it used to be listed as what was listed back when it was Mix)

At 3 a.m., the station's legal ID identified it as "WYFQ-FM, Indian Trail." FCC records also show the WLNK call sign is now available for reassignment. See attachments.

few questions:
(1) I thought BBN simulcasted. Why no WYFQ Charlotte, WYHG Wadesboro, W229CF-FM Charlotte Station ID in that WYFQ-FM Indian Trail cut?
(2) With WLNK in the FCC's available call letter list, why did U1 even bother saying they were keeping the calls and intellectual property of WLNK?
(3) Have they moved regular BBN programming off of W229CF-FM? It was speculated it might become their Hispanic BBN channel.

Thanks for the ID, Johnny. Is their COL actually still Indian Trail? Reckon it still is, since they're IDing with it, just personally curious.
1. They simulcast, save for TOHIDs.
2. IDK
3. I believe, from what I saw up thread, they're still English on 93.7, although, from this armchair, Spanish would make sense.
I made most of the necessary changes on Wikipedia but I needed some help and the person who had to do certain things referred to all these changes as "shenanigans" and said a lot of cleanup was needed. I thought I had done pretty much everything that needed doing.
W229CF-FM is still broadcasting BBN currently as of writing this now (which is funny since the new WYFQ 100.9 essentially serves as a more bigger station in coverage area versus W229CF being just a small localized translator)
Is this correct? Break the simulcast just for the Station ID? That seems like a lot of trouble for nothing. Why would they even bother?
Nobody have any comment about U1 actually not keeping the call letters after they went to the trouble of putting it in the sales contract?
W229CF-FM will certainly change. According to BBN's webpage, they have 62 Hispanic stations, but ONLY ONE in the United States (in Milwaukee, of all places). Will Charlotte get another, or will they do something else with 93.7.
I could totally see the AM and translator going spanish for BBN
and why break the simulcast? sio the ID is a bazillion seconds long. listen to radio bilingue sometime and see why its a bad idea
