I guess I was wrong. 105.1 is currently pursuing a Sam (Jack) format.

So...... Next Media will have Bob... and Sam. Somebody at Next Media has the fits to try out the latest craze I guess, so they're letting them play with the sandbox rather than a real signal. Good luck covering that highway 24 diverso-plex of listeners.

Or it could be a stunt that they're putting on Sam The Man in mornings. That seems hardly worth the stunt though.

Maybe they know WKOO didn't have a chance againt WNCT's monster coverage. Hardly seems smart to have 2 Oldies stations in this area anyway. I think this was a smart move, too bad that signal is so small though. And it has to do a lot better than the standards.

Probably true. I figured the oldies flip was a somewhat organic move from the previous MOYL network format since it was creeping more towards oldies every day.

The playlist so far isn't very impressive. LOTS of 80's male new wave pop mixed with the occasional oldie. Not nearly the interesting mix you get from WPYA in Norfolk, or the River in Raleigh. Their positioning promo has samples ranging from C+C Music Factory to Hoobastank, but they are strictly all male pre-1985 so far.

Some songs are obscure because they are crap. Ah well, it's the first day. It's almost a return to the station's roots long ago at 104.9 - WCPQ, when it sounded like the DJ's pretty much played whatever 45 touched their hands first when they reached into the stack.

Wasn't 104.9 (now 105.1) the station where Allan Handelman worked when he first came to NC?

I beleive so. Stix got his start there too.

And the FM calls were WMSQ "MusicRadio Q105"
The AM was WUSN/WKVO/WCPQ.<P ID="signature">______________

I remember now.

When the Goines family owned WMSQ and WZKB in Wallace, I interviewed for the morning shift at ZKB. Their promise was that if I really performed, I'd get to move up to the "big" station in Havelock.

ZKB had just been robbed, and when I looked around town I heard their board op start rewinding the automation tapes on the air. Thank heavens I didn't take that position. I'd be another washed up ENC jock who talks about how great things were back in the day.

Hey.... wait a minute....
