Or maybe they should go with Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World" and Britney Spears' "Till the World Ends".

Book Radio would only work if everything was narrated by Morgan Freeman. ;D

94.7 FM: Get busy listenin' or get busy readin'.
Any news on when 94.7 will flip? What format? Any indication that they are leaning towards one format over another?
XCountry285 said:
No one knows... At least anyone who is going to say anything on a radio forum.. We'll have to wait and see once the transfer is complete from Family Radio and the format can change.
Country, Rock, Alternative, Polkas, Dance, Hip Hop, Another CHR, Christian Rock, Spanish Gospel, Asian Pop, heck who knows at this point
It's taking so long...I'm tired of no updates!

The FCC hasn't even approved the sale yet. Chill.
Lance from radioinsight says that Family Radio will return to Philly on 950 on the day that is rumored to be "the end of the world", December 21 at 6 pm. Could it be here too? I don't think so, but it may happen either the day of the rumored end of the world, after tomorrow ???, highly unlikely, the day of or after Christmas or the first or second day of 2013. When do everyone else think? I hope it's anything except CBS sports network because there is just too much sports in NYC including tv too.
While most of the articles about the sale of WFME to Cumulus state that it should close by the end of the month, that seems unlikely to me. There are still several FCC approvals that need to take place for both WFME and WDVY, the station that will be transferred to Family Radio.
In fact a request was filed with the FCC to change WDVY's status to noncommercial, only about a week ago. My guess is that unless there will be an LMA of both stations, there will not be any programming changes till late January, at the earliest.

Why no news ?

The. Sale. Hasn't. Been. Approved. Yet.

Yes but that's not a complete answer either. Cumulus could very well just LMA the station like 101.9. Obviously there's more moving parts to this than the obvious.
For the 101.9 situation, Cumulus would have to pay for the privilege of using the frequency.thataveragejoe said:
Think of it as buying a house. Until you sign the papers, you have no right to the property. Unless you can rent the place, you will not have the keys.
Usually, when we hear about a sale, everything is just about done. With 94.7, I think we heard about it right away because most of us already figured Cumulus was going to get it anyway, so there was no secret.
Jeff in Sa-ra-so-ta!
There's nothing in the published documents that contemplates a LMA of 94.7 to Cumulus.
Part of the compensation to Family for 94.7 is Cumulus handing over 106.3 in Mount Kisco, NY. The matters of converting 106.3 to non-comm status and getting a waiver of the main studio rule are still pending, and I'm sure Family Radio wants to maintain some presence in the NY area, even if it's only on the Mt. Kisco station.
In any case, I'm sure Cumulus wants to get its hands on 94.7 as soon as possible.
