They were playing stuff on there yesterday at around 11:30 AM. When I first listened in, they played a 90s "Always Coca-Cola" ad followed by a 50s Delta Airlines jingle, then went into playing a few 70s and 80s songs. It turned out to just be them testing out their Virtual Jukebox system. This happened until right around, if not, noon sharp.
On another note, 103.5 also went off the air at noon, only to return again that evening.
 
now they are playing "107.5 The Rock"....WTF? Audio quality sounds like they are rebroadcasting a stream....sounds like AM....no highs....very little stereo separation....I think it's a station our of Wisconsin....not sure....no legal IDs.....no RDS
 
At least they aren't simulcasting one of your stations, Charlie.

Is the dance station back on the air?
 
Yeah, I heard that last night, wondering what was going on. They did have a legal ID, but it was devoid of a call-sign: just the branding and the city of licence. Nonetheless, it's just a low-quality simulcast of WCCN outta Neillsville, Wisc.
 
Whatever they're doing, their audio is dragging by at least 10%. I heard them play "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" by CSN today about 12:15. It's normally 7:25 in length. This one took about 9 minutes to play. Stephen Stills went from having a nice tenor voice to almost a baritone!
 
Just found it today, heard a sweeper "95.9 The Rock". No mention of JB&B or anything else but I think JB&B are normally on at this time on a Saturday.
 
I don't think the new owners have any plan to put JB&B back on. The syndicator contacted my station a couple of weeks ago trying to get us to take the show. It doesn't fit our format though.
 
Was listening yesterday and the voice tracking seemed to be off. They introed Springsteen but played Bob Seger.
 
Man, Mike! Anyone thought ole Hale needed to get a call? Just when you thought it could get no worse......A T T O R N ..........the station.

Yeah, I agree. and it seems like they are at low power because sometimes I have a hard time picking it up.
 
According to the FCC database, they have just been granted an STA to use the 103.5 tower site east of Callaway for 95.9 with 5.2 kw ERP

So far it's plug and play- no changes to the sweepers I still hear 107.5 and about the only commercials they play are "Better Call Saul" type commercials. No local spots at all.
 
Recently tuned in and still seems to be low power, no jocks and has changed to "Classic Hits B-95". Personally, I think they have really dropped the ball on this one as there is already a "Beach 95.1" and if not careful someone might assume they are listening to Beach instead of WRBA. I don't believe they will ever recover. At least JB&B had some personality on the station and now it is just a jukebox.
 
95.9....where? What city?

North FL is a BIG piece of real estate. This is not the PCB board.

Please identify posts by frequency and location. Thanks.

This station continues to sound like it is on low power. Sound quality is very lacking. When I worked there moons ago (2003 or so?) we put in a new Optimod which helped beef up the sound and now it sound awful. No on air staff at all. I haven't listened to it in ages for a long period but when I do tune in it's only for a short time. Not a huge fan of JB&B but would like to hear them back on at some point. I have no idea who owns it now or even if they are still on Gwyn Drive. Probably on autopilot from a back closet somewhere.
