94.9fm/94.7fm Baton Rouge early 2000's

[Howard Dean]

There was rock station on these 2 signals, prior to that I think it was smooth jazz. The Rock format didn't last long but it was a pretty good station the handful of times I listened to it. I think the company that owned was called Styles broadcasting? Anyway, the rock format lasted a year at the most then it went Gospel. Don't remember the call letters or the name. I think 94.7fm was there stronger signal. it was targeted towards New Orleans. Not sure if the station was sold or what. It seems they came on in late 2001 and lasted till sometime in 2002.
Playlist was something like:

Money talks-AC/DC
In the end-Linkin park
Incubus-Nice to know you
Puddle of Mud-Control
Default-wasting my time
Van Halen-Black and Blue

85% currents or songs within the couple year range, 20% old stuff seems like. anyone know?

Try Reserve,La on the 94.9 signal (WXXM), 94.7 out of Lacombe (WXXF) for the other and was aimed at New Orleans as a Rock/Talk station that was the New Orleans outlet for Opie And Anthony


Also if I remember VH and AC/DC were never played as it was aimed as a direct competitor to KKND 106.7 at the time so the incubus and puddle of mudd would be right

What I remember,

949 Extreme Radio "Hot Talk, Real Rock"
Opie and Anthony in the Morning
Lex and Terry Afternoons
I cant remember who, but someone from 'The End' had jumped ship to them to become PD and night DJ.
What killed them is when Wilks who at the time in 2003 owned "106.7 The End" purchased the WXXM/WXXF stations from Styles.

Field Tech memory good but lex and terry were mornings as they are a morning duo, O and A at the time were doing afternoons on WNEW 102.7 in NYC and 94.9 left the air right after the sex for sam incident as it was the one day I didn't listen!!!

Thanks for the walk down memory lane

Didn't these stations eventually wind up being sold to Dowdy?
