Heard this station while in Louisville months ago and fell in love with it. The music, that is. It ran a lot of the same imagers and the SAME commercials. However, their music selection is gold. Focusing on more recurrent and gold product, making themselves a hit-based Urban format. I see their numbers aren't too high, their website is outdated with no stream, no valid links, and no Facebook page. I also called them and their management seems a little skeptical. They gave me some international e-mail to send comments to. As far as I know though, they're locally programmed since I did hear a Louisville hip-hop song. Wish they streamed. Anybody know any details about this station?

You would be correct, and he's pretty much ticked off everyone who could help them, so there you go. A broken radio station and nobody to help.
Still dead air at 12:30 A.M. I went to their website and it says that their address is 10000 Shelbyville Road. Isn't that where WZZX 101.7 was at?
Strange world we live in...I'm much farther from Hardinsburg than you are and WXBC isn't that rare here. The 94.3 from Hardinsburg is always here, even with WIFE FM 94.3 at 33 air miles.KyDXIn said:WHO is "HE"?Bengalsfan said:Maybe now I can pick up WXBC from Hardinsburg.
Wow, that is incredible. I never dreamed you would be able to pick up XBC that far north. I know 94.3 WULF comes in loud and clear here and at one time even tried to market itself as a talk station for Louisville. I think the FCC was wrong for allowing another station in the Louisville on 104.3.BobOnTheJob said:Strange world we live in...I'm much farther from Hardinsburg than you are and WXBC isn't that rare here.

They didn't exactly allow it in Louisville. It's licensed to Charlestown, but they didn't allow the tower in Charlestown either because of minimum distance separation requirements with 104.3 in Hardinsburg and 103.9 in Louisville.
The transmitting antenna is several miles north of Charlestown in order to "fit" within the FCC rules. (It is 65.972 miles from WXBC.)
If you can make it fit, the FCC pretty much has to say yes.
If not for all of the above, 104.3 could have located their antenna in Louisville and still be licensed to Charlestown, Indiana. Then it would have been a major player. But it doesn't work that way.

How far north can you guys hear WXBC in Hardinsburg, its only 2300 watts I'm surprised it makes it to Louisville.
Atleast I will be able to hear them now when I'm heading to work in Radcliff, right between VG and Radcliff, I would hear both stations depending on conditions would determine who would win LOL

According to DJ Yung Steff, the station should be back soon.

so...you put a near consumer-grade console in a building that looks like a dental office...
and you're " a real radio station"? the chair railing must help the acoustics!
and a kitchen, too? wow! who could compete with this state of the art facility?
I weep for the future of our kids.
And that's not the Shelbyville road location that they started out in.

Don't make your move too soon on 104.3 FM...there are still many facility and LMA issues to work out before they can return to the air. The Milwaukee ownership has a lot at stake!
"everyone says studio shutdown, 104 is gone... you see the board.. its still here" ...
Yes and there was NO audio passing thru it! .. Those VU meters were not moving and the computer screen was dark....
Sounds like NO radio station for me.... my guess is the next time the dj visits the door locks will be changed....and a for lease sign will be up.
WAY Media has filed for a STA to keep the station dark until they can establish their own program feed to the transmitter site.
(Since the LMA'ers are not paying the bill currently).

Let this be a lesson to everyone that karma is a bitch! This is what happens when you don't treat your staff right and don't pay your help.
