94.5

I was channel surfing yesterday afternoon and heard one of the WEBN jocks promoting "Tune your own radio station on 94.5"...then I was surfing this morning and was anticipating hearing the 700 WLW simulcast, but 94.5 FM was playing some type of elevator jazz music with the promo talking about programming your own station.

Maybe I should enter and program 94.5 to be a Progressive Rock/Progressive Rock Format station...

Nah- the suits at Clear Channel wouldn't comprehend that because it would be what WEBN once was....

It's okay- I don't need a corporate entity trying to entice me to "program" my own station, when already had other avenues that I use to listen to the music that I enjoy.

Proof that the sheeple will follow anything that is put in front of them.

FM Sports is proving to be tanking in the city, unless Clear Channel is testing the waters with this contest and is then going to blow 100.3 off the dial with a full power FM sports station...

who knows....

Whatever is on the station after April will only be what is suited best for the higher ups within Clear Channel.
 
What is odd side note is no one in Cincinnati can hear The Cincinnati Reds (or any sport) on FM or without the ridiculous delay, anywhere even at the stadiums.
It is one huge issue paying sponsors should demand be removed. Without question there is a large lose of listeners at the venues. With the FCC debunked in the courts over such delay issues sports teams should also be demanding the delay removal.

It is a shame CC does not see the value of having WLW (simulcast) content and programing on FM. If given the promotion and time spent on their music formats, WLW on FM would be and is a huge winner. I do know those working and living downtown see and hear the value of having a signal inside office and large buildings AM signals cant penetrate.
Huge sales tool and adds more listeners.
What a shame to waste the FM resource on another Music format already available in so many forms.

The real shame would be wasting it on another sports or right-wing talk format already available in so many forms.

So...you "gonna go for it," Bandit? Show us all how it really should be done.

I want my Tantrum 94.5.
 
When I tuned into 94.5 this afternoon, they were featuring the voice of the guy who does the on-air promotional announcements on WLW. He was talking over a couple of Lawrence Welk records and asking for public input on what kind of format 94.5 should have.

Program 94.5? Isn't it a translator?

Yes. Technically, they'll be "programming" WFKS-HD2, but it will be relayed on 94.5.
There's a translator in Indy that airs WIBC HD2 which is a feed of WFNI 1070 most of the time, but this arrangement allows them to effectively split the translator programming from WFNI when desired.
 
That Indy translator deal kind of threw me at first, but when I figured it out it was genius. Very creative use of the AM and the HD2.
 
Isn't it called Mix 94.5? ;) Doesn't Mix 94.5 in Lexington and 945 in Dayton come in decent in Cincinnati?

94.5 Lite FM/Dayton is on a 6000 watt Class A signal in Englewood. It's always been a so-so signal in and around Dayton. That's one reason CC decided to move Channel, their CHR, to the 50,000 watt powerhouse signal to cater to the younger 18-34 demo over the aging 35-54 AC audience. The one thing they did right was keeping Kim Faris on in mornings. Kim is a Dayton institution and one of the nicest, kindest radio folks I've ever met. They did fire Paul Ellis for the second time in as many years upon the move though. Not sure how well 94.5 comes in in Cincy, but wow, is 94.5 crowded between Dayton, Cincy, and Lexington. Unreal.
 
94.5 in Lexington used to be 100kW but not anymore, I think it's down to 80kW or 85kW for the 94.5 in Dayton.
