105.7 is live

I've just noticed that 105.7 in San Antonio is now on the air, simulcasting WOAI.

I think this probably means the end of The Patriot.
 
WOAI is geting with the 21st Century and finally broadcasting on FM! Bravo.
Now, they need to sell 92.5 to EMF and acquire 97.7 so they can place WOAI on that frequency!!!
 
Or, put KTKR on 92.5 FM. Then all their AMs will be modernized.
And with 104.9 coming to simulcast 680, they'll get modernized as well, and all of CC's and Cox's AM stations will be with the times. :)

Listening to WOAI this morning, the news chic only mentioned the Call Letters at the top of the hour. Otherwise, no mention of the new frequency. It very likely they are testing the signal before the launch of the actual format.

I wonder what that format will be and what station it will simulcast. Maybe it'll be a music formatted rebroadcast of an HD2? But I'm not even sure this is happening, maybe WOAI will stay on FM.
 
More evidence that WOAI is not coming to the FM dial. Top of the hour id now says, KQXT-HD2 & K289BN.

KQXT HD-2 currently is Smooth Jazz. Does CC move Smooth Jazz to another HD station or is 105.7 set to be Smooth Jazz? IMO, a new format will land on KQXT HD-2 and will be rebroadcast on 105.7.

Rhythmic AC(KTU Style), Top 40 Dance, Comedy, or ?????

Wherever the format lands, it will be something to help the cluster. Same strategy Cox will use with it's translator when they get it going.

It's really too bad WOAI is not coming to FM 105.7. I was looking forward to not using an old AM radio to listen to the Spurs games. They should drop The Patriot and put WOAI on 92.5 IMO.
 
I've just noticed that KQXT-HD2 is now WOAI, while KQXT-HD3 is now the Smooth Jazz format formerly on KQXT-HD2. Either it will continue that way, or KQXT-HD2 will launch with a new format.

Very interesting.

I still believe KQXT-HD2 will flip to another format. Perhaps, CC will wait until the Spurs win their fifth title ;D

My guess is 105.7 goes Rhythmic AC. It fits the cluster and a format hole in the market.

I still think Clear Channel should swap stations with EMF 92.5 for 97.7, place WOAI on 97.7 and simulcast KTKR on 105.7, more and more stations are bringing their AM's to FM these days.
 
Fred,

Don't you think that at least part of the issue with the ratings for the simulcast of 1300 on 103.1 was due to the lousy signal strength of 103.1 and not the format? Now granted after some of the local stuff, Foxsports radio is really, really bad, but after all unless you were pretty close to downtown you couldn't hear it. I know in West and South West Travis County it was constantly being stepped on by 103.1 out of SA, I gave up even trying to pick it up.
 
My comment was not so much on the ratings. I was commenting on stations that don't give a format time to grow. And yes 103.1's signal is spotty which does not lend itself to long-term listening.
 
KQXT's HD2 and HD3 switched formats earlier. KQXT-HD2 is now again smooth jazz, and KQXT-HD3 is WOAI.

105.7 still plays WOAI after being dead air all day yesterday, and their ID says KQXT-HD2 still, even though KQXt-HD2 and 105.7 aren't the same anymore. My guess now is something's coming to KQXT-HD2 soon to simulcast on 105.7, since 105.7 didn't change their liner. Or they'll stick to jazz(not likely IMO).

Thanks for the update KevanGC.

LOL, no problem SARadio1.

As for KQXT's HD signals, only KQXT-HD1 is up now.
105.7 has been a mess these last couple days. Dead air half the time and on and off the rest of the time. There is still a rare time when normal WOAI is heard, though.

I think that one of two things are going on. Either they can't decide, or they're trying to confuse everyone.
 
Is CC keeping WOAI on 105.7? I haven't heard anything promoting WOAI's 105.7 channel at all. I haven't listened to either frequency much, but I haven't heard anything about a new FM station mentioned on WOAI. I called their studio number once and the guy answering had absolutely no idea what I was talking about.
