1260 "The New Big Wolf"

D

dxho

What station is it? It's a classic rock station, and they ID as the "96.7 The New Big Wolf". The only reference I can find like that is for KWMX, an FM station in Williams, Arizona, and I don't think I'm getting their AM partner in Virginia (though it is a night-time catch).
 
Syracuse was the only other possibility I came up with (WWLF on 96.7) but it's apparently Country, simulcasting with 105.1. There is a 1260 in the market. Scott Fybush?
 
The station's run one local ad in 4 hours, for Rent Town, but no address, phone, or web site. Other than that, it's just the same ID.
 
Wouldn't be Syracuse, 1260 in Syracuse is The Score a sports format station owned by Cumulus. WOLF 105.1 and WWLF 96.7 is one of Craig Fox's stations. They are country and their ID goes something like "New Country Wolf 105.1 and 96.7", was just picking them up today.

Just went back to Google and typed in "96.7 FM 1260 AM" and up popped a Facebook page for "The Big WUFE 96.7 / 1260".

They have a wolf as their logo so I imagine WUFE is actually pronounced wolf in their IDs. WUFE is a 5kw daytimer from Baxley, GA.
 
Several gospel stations in my area doing the same thing lately. No way 7 watts sounds that good from 10 miles :)
 
When I turned to 1260 at 2:30 AM I heard the sound of the wolf howling and then heard the Drifters' "Under the Boardwalk."
 
This is the second Georgia AM-with-a-flea-power-FM-translator I've heard in a week that has switched to rock. WGUS has just done the same thing, apparently. It's still listed as Spanish format in Radio Locator (whatever that means).
 
"The Big Bad Wolf" would be a much better tag line for marketing purposes
 
"It's still listed as Spanish format in Radio Locator (whatever that means)."

Drop them an e-mail. I don't think they can track the changes unless somebody tells them.
