103.1 WMXX is now "Kool Mix"
- Thread starter FeralFox
- Start date
I heard that today as well, and 103.5 is still going by Kool 103. I guess their owners finally realized they needed to have a difference in the names like we talked about here.
Still not (in my mind) enough of a change. But definitely a step in the right direction.
Nothing that I can find.
I've seen them listed on Tunein But it hasn't worked at the times I've tried it.
I saw this posted a day or two ago by WNWS:

Hunt Radio Propalso owns “The WORM” 101.7 FM, and 1010 AM in Savannah.
“We feel that this partnership will allow clients the opportunity to deal with one company (West Tennessee Media Group) to handle the bulk of their advertising needs,” said Lacy Ennis, president/CEO of Grace Media Group.

103.1 is playing more stuff that weren't big hits that I haven't heard in years. Yesterday I heard them play Ghost Riders in the Sky by the Outlaws. Was that ever a big hit? They definitely don't always play the hits from the decades they cover, and it had been that way to some extent before the changes.

That version peaked in the #31 position in the 80s. Some people would call their choices of songs eclectic. I'd call it "We like it so we're playing it". Kind of like Gerald's entire ownership. His toy, his rules. Always done it his way.
That almost sounds like Jack FM's slogan of Playing what we want.
In listening in recent weeks I've heard more stuff I haven't heard in years, but I actually like it most of the time. I'd guess most of the stuff like borderline elevator music they played in the past is on 103.5 now.
Do they play anything that sounds like it could have been a local hit back in the day? I remember that stations used to do that before playlists got so tight.That almost sounds like Jack FM's slogan of Playing what we want.

Yes some of it was songs that were a local hit at one time, but don't get played in normal oldies or classic hits formats. I couldn't name any particular songs though.
I liked those songs, because they always gave stations a certain "character" that maybe other stations didn't have. I have managed to find a few 45s of songs like these (almost always on indie labels) on ebay. Probably still a few others like those out there that I would also like to find.
