106.3 WFAF Mt. Kisco Drops WPDH Simulcast & Goes AC

It seems that at some point today 106.3 WFAF Mount Kisco dropped the simulcast of 101.5 WPDH Poughkeepsie and flipped to AC.....At first I thought they went back to simulcasting WFAS-FM or some other Cumulus station but that is not the case.....They are just playing song after song with no station ID's.....All I have heard was the legal ID at the top of the hour.....With WFAS-FM moving to the Bronx could Cumulus be trying to get listeners to move to 106.3?.....106.3 has a terrible signal and there is no way it can make it as a stand alone (no matter what format they have).
 
IMHO the PDH simulcast is far better than the crap on WFAS. Too bad, just when the reception improved and was getting used to it. The FCC should have never allowed the WFAS move since Westchester and Rockland are under served. Rockland in particular has no local FM outlet.
 
this sucks
can't get 101.5 At all anymore in greenwich because of a new 101.5 in nassau County on long island.. when the hell did this station appear?
 
Still stunting if anyone cares.

This is an inferior signal that will struggle to find a niche with any format.
Furthermore, now that selling main street is not done in radio anymore, it can't
support itself.

It will be interesting to see what happens with it.
 
It is now back to the WFAS-FM/103.9 simulcast that it ran a few years ago. They are separately running some PSA's instead of WFAS-FM spots during the :50 break, so they bury their legal ID in there.. I suppose once WFAS-FM moves to the Bronx and is sold, 106.3 is more or less what you are left with. I wonder what the plan is, if any, for AM 1230...it would probably be sold. I also wonder what the long term plan is for 106.3...I don't see it working as a stand alone unless they do something with the signal, which does not seem possible.
 
Sounds like they are running different commercials on both stations now.
One spot break is heavier than the other, and sometimes plays just a filler song.
But obviously they are selling the spots now.
