92.7 The Oasis & 94.3 The Bone Leave the Air

Martz Communications' The Oasis and 94.3 The Bone announced that both stations have ceased operations as of January 31st, 2012.

The Oasis began its life on a translator on 104.7 FM (W284BQ), and was also available on WGPR HD-2. On October 18th, 2011, the station was forced off the air due to interference with WIOT in Toledo, OH.

A few months after the WIOT debacle, the station applied to return to the air via a translator on 93.5 FM, and later 92.7 FM. All references to the station were changed to 92.7 on their website to reflect the possible change. Unfortunately, that change never ended up taking place, and The Oasis shut down as a result.

Also shutting down is Modern Rock station The Bone, which broadcasted via a translator on 94.3 FM (W232CA). It was also available on WGPR's HD-3 channel.

Here is a link to The Oasis's Facebook page, which features a brief goodbye message: http://www.facebook.com/pages/1047-The-Oasis/185896198123719

No reasons given for suspending both stations? The Bone just added Bubba, too.
 
Ahhhhhhhhhh....

Thats SOOOOOOO Sad.

NOT!
 
It is indeed sad, more so for the loss of the Oasis then 'The Bone' IMO. I thought the WIOT complaint lacked merit and denied the Detroit market programming there is an audience for in favor of a Toledo station with a questionable claim to portions of the Detroit area. They gave it a good try.

I meant with "Bone".... listening to it, it sounded like an absolute joke.
