1600 WHIY Huntsville

For those of you who don't know 1600am WHIY in Huntsville recently broke off from its simulcast of 1700 WEUP-AM last year and was relaunched as a "party blues and oldies" format. They have the website up for this station now at http://www.whiyam.com/. Some of you may not think this is very significant, but I was disappointed to see that the logo for the station looks exactly like sister station WEUP-FM 103.1's logo, which also looks very similar to WEUP-AM's logo as well. Why would you make all of your stations in your cluster have logos that look exactly the same. They are all completely different stations with completely different formats so wouldn't you want completely different logos to distinguish the stations as being different from one another? Not to mention logos that fit the format of each station. Just because they are all in the same building doesn't mean they need the same look. I would think you would want a look that is of its own for each station that doesn't make you think of a different station when you see it. I can't think of any other company or cluster in any other market that has all of their stations logos looking the same. Can any of you? Oh, and by the way, all three of the stations websites are exactly the same too. ??? ::)
 
wasn't this station supposed to shut down after WEUP moved to the X band? I thought the original reason for moving station up the band was to free up some channels and cut down the overcrowding. This sorta defeats the purpose for moving.

I don't know of ANY facilities that actually shut down when the X-band move-ins started. It's like the FCC just forgot about that whole 'cut down on interference' thing. ???
