101.7 96.1 95.9 THE big switch

ya I heard chuck on 101 7. kinda upset that I didnt get to hear KZQ on 96.1. still left with shitty alternative radio called alice or drive or whatever CC is passing that s#it poor excuse of a radio station off as.
 
Can hear Chuck 101.7 up in Murrles Inlet. To me it seems stronger then 96.1 was when coming from Charleston. As for 96.1kzq they come in better on my radios then when they were at 101.7. Could be as im closer to their tower which is by the new Lowes Foods on 707.

So as for 96.3 which Q 107.1 broadcasts on for Pawleys Island is that now off the air? I would believe so as it's right next to 96.1kzq
 
101.7 comes in much better down here in Hilton Head than 96.1 did. Not sure what they did that's different with the signal (technically speaking, they're exactly the same specs. as 96.1).

Did they actually put the 101.7 signal on the channel 5 tower like originally planned? If so, that explains the better signal.

I wondered how they were going to tell people who didn't know and were coming from somewhere else.

North of Marion, I've found I got a good signal from the old WKZQ. You wouldn't expect it, but my experience in Myrtle Beach isn't complete until I've heard something so outrageously bad it's not even music. I did hear that on 96.1, though the signal was not the best. On 101.7, it wasn't clear in Marion but it was listenable. They do play everything. I didn't know Chuck meant Chucktown. Who would have expected a sophisticated place like that to be Chucktown?

I did see a billboard north of Conway which asked, "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" 101.7 was crossed out and replaced with 96.1. The same billboard is also in Conway.

During "Knight Rider" (a good show for them to advertise the station) I saw a commercial with the same message. That show had more bikinis in an hour than I saw in three days. It was warm enough! But most of the females were older, I guess.
 
In Marion you are definitely getting a weaker WKZQ. According to FMFool.com:
At 101.7 you got a -60.4dBm signal,coming from the 101.7 tower 30 miles away (8.75 miles northeast of Conway). At 96.1 you are getting a -79.4dBm signal from the tower 45.4 miles away (at Garden City Beach).
