A Change Has Occurred In Evergreen

[R.D.P.]

WEVG is now doing the Nostalgia thing.

This new format will appeal to those, who like those songs.

I was thinking about you Mr. Tallred, when I discovered this one.

This is sort of a surprising move to me. The trend for small AMs like this has been away from music and towards something easy to run off satellite like talk or sports. So for them to not only go back to music but standards is kind of a head scratcher. Not that I'm complaining, I enjoy that kind of music to some degree.

Another oddity is you have to register with their site to listen online, yet it's available for free (128 kbps mp3!) on Tunein Radio.

RDP,
I am always glad to see AM radio with music... music to my ears, literally

We've speculated on the North Florida board that Hale is trying to move his translator, W246BN 97.1, from Atmore to Evergreen for use with 1470. Could the format change be related?

 

[R.D.P.]

I hope you're right on that one.

I can promise you, this new format won't last long unless they advertise hard and get enough businesses to support them.

I wish the owners of this station and their new format success.

Hope they can make a go of it.

Why would Hale move it into Florida first? It's currently down from Atmore near Wiggins Lake Estates in N. Escambia County.

Didn't it start out in Bay Minette?

Didn't it start out in Bay Minette?

You know, I honestly don't remember! Keeping pace with the translator shenanigans down here is like watching a shell game.

Wherever it started out, I do remember it wasn't moving toward WTKE AM in Milton. WEVG was the only viable option for a Hale owned station.
