93X? Anyone?

Back in November, fybush.com reported that Equinox broadcasting signed on a new rock station on a translator at 92.9 in Binghamton called "93X." Although MR. Fybush's reporting is usually on the money, I wonder if this is indeed accurate. For starters, if there actually is a 93X, there is no mention of it in any other trade. Additionally, both tunein and wikipedia list the translator as broadcasting the HD-2 feed of WRRQ, yes, but then, they list this as a feed of "Cool 100", wcdw. Also, a quick search of the internet reveals websites and facebook pages for "Sunny 107," and "104.5 The Drive," which are the other HD
 
I was starting to wonder myself, Jeremy...but I had occasion to be in Binghamton several times in the last month or so (for a family funeral, unhappily enough) and there's definitely an Equinox-run rocker on the 92.9 translator and 106.7-HD2. I believe the imaging is actually "93Z" "Z93." I airchecked some of it but haven't had a chance to go back and listen yet...it's been rather a zoo of a month.
 
which are the other HD to translator stations that are owned by equinox. However, there is no website, facebook, or stream for WRRQ-HD2 that doesn't link to, or isn't associated with, WCDW. So, I'm wondering if anyone in the Binghamton area can confirm if there is such a channel, since, apparently, it's existence cannot be varified outside Binghamton. Also, Kevin or George, if you are reading this, if "93X" does exist, and if there is a stream, could you please make it known? I'd love to be able to hear the station.

PS. Sorry for the double continuing post. The screen reader placed the cursor over the post button when I didn't want it to do so.
 
Thanks, Scott. When you have the time, and opportunity strikes, and you have the chance to clear your aircheck tapes, I wonder if you could send a copy my way. I'd be interested in hearing it, as, you may have read, I couldn't find any other mentions of it online anywhere. It looks like the other 2 HD streams have strong online presences, but they haven't gotten there yet with 92.9.
 
OK. They must've done some updating on the equinox site, but it looks like they don't have it all together yet. Here's what I found. If you go to http://z93rocks.com, you will either get the z93 webpage, or a message stating that equinox has parked the domain. If you are able to get on the website, you will notice that there is no facebook page. At the top of the page, there is a streaming link. If, like me, you are becoming excited about hearing this new station, however, you're going to be disappointed... Right now, the streaming player gives you an error message. I tried Equinox's other stations, and their streams all work with my Win. 7 Del computer, but not the stream for Z93.

If anyone at Equinox is reading this, please fix the stream, and add an FB page. If I really like what I hear, you will become one of my internet presets.
