1160 - The Sound of Silence

[major]

It always interests me to hear what stations come through when a regular station goes down. What have you been hearing besides the Chicago station?

I thought I heard 1160 in Atlanta underneath WYLL this afternoon. WCFO is 50kw daytime.

You'll be hearing the sound of a tune up in a day or so...

 

[microbob]

Good news.

 

[jry]

Wow. That was quick. Both stations are done....

T networks on 1160 were barely off.

The one for 1050 was out but, now in.

Good bandwidth on both as well.

When will 1160 be back on the air?

 

[wjf82]

Supposed to be back on air February 1st, taking 1050's Christian format.

When will 1160 be back on the air?

We will probably go on a week from tomorrow with a promo loop. Do some more tune up and go full time of Friday the first.

Well! All these changes and still no jazz. Nobody even wants to try it?

 

[microbob]

Well, 1320 WCVG is still for sale for only $725.000. Let's start a fund to buy them.

The only way I'd listen to a jazz station is if it were at least 80% vocal. Instrumental music? For my elevator.

WWEZ ???

I wish Jazz would work. It is an FM format, IMO.

Have you ever seen the WCVG site? I looked it over when they offered it to us. Its behind a Baptist Church and a small strip mall.

One of the guyed wires is attached to a small tower on the lot line. I guess the neighbors didn't what an anchor on their property. I am not sure how they keep the proper tension on it. Most odd. At any rate, i think that the station will need a lot of TLC.

What would you do with it? All Comedy? TRN News?

 

[microbob]

It could be a station that concentrates on Northern KY programming, local sports, news, weather mixed in with oldies. The problem is can you attract local advertisers and listeners with it? I don't know.

 

[88.9 Miracle]

At a price of $50k, it might be worth the buy, what I offered them 3 years ago. A daytimer, low wattage. Massively overpriced. That's what Irv Schwartz sold it for and I can not see that it has increased in value.

 

[wjf82]

Anyone remember 1320 being an "All-Elvis" format in from August '88 - August '89?

 

[Cincinnati Kid]

I think trying to concentrate on Northern Kentucky listeners might work. There is sometimes the temptation to include Cincinnati since it's so close.

You include Cincy as its the larger pop base. Maybe the the folks in Dry Ridge should buy it.

They already tried it about 20 years ago - it doesn't work!!!

I remember them owning 1160 for awhile as WKYN and it was sports, and before that as a day timer on 1180 as strictly a Florence KY station as WFKB. WFKB started with a country format and they had Jack Reno which was short lived before going to an AC format if I can recall correctly.
