That doesn't prove that WLTJ will or won't do something.
> according to yes.com 92.9 is back to WLTJ
But the change to WBZB was, according to insiders at Steel City Media, an error. However, it appears that the error was regarding which station was changing calls, and when.
The fact that yes.com fixed the mistake on the calls doesn't prove that WLTJ won't make a major format change, or that they won't. Nor does it prove that they won't change their calls eventually, or not.
Bottom line, we still don't know for sure what the heck is going to happen with WLTJ.
I'm willing to go out on a limb and predict that regardless of whatever else happens, they will remain on 92.9 MHz. Beyond that, anyone's guess is about as good as anyone else's.

I said that weeks ago. I still think that WBZB is an attempt to keep CBS from bringing WBZZ back to Pittsburgh. However this contradicts my even earlier contention that burnt out heritage CHR's seldom can resurrect themselves as their core demos are always after the "newest". With WRRK gone to BOB, I have no idea what CBS will do with 93.7 or WBZZ. I'd move Star to 93.7. If WLTJ does change formats, Star would be the closet competition for WSHH. The 100.7 could become "free FM", another genious idea from CBS and I assume compete with 104.7 and bring the hysterically funny Dave to PIttsburgh. personally, I like Star better than Wish . I think Wish is kinda bland. Of course 100.7 could become Smooth Jazz. Infinity does make that work very well in Tampa. But then, who really cares in the long run.

Like I said, time will tell us all. I don't care if K-Rock flips back to B94 or if WLTJ changes B92.9, just so something contradicts KISS, I can't stand it!

Anyone out there care to defend Kiss? Going through Yes.com from the other afternoon - these songs were played - Big Poppa / Notorious BIG, Tipsy / J'Kwon, Fallin' / Keys, and the one that really takes the cake - Poison / Bell Biv Devoe. Uhhhh, what decade are we in? Of the 20 songs, sure 11 were current - but the only non-rhythmic one was Dirty Little Secret by All American Rejects. A decent song but buried in between two hours of all urban crossovers. KISS is WAMO-lite, minus the personality and decent jocks of WAMO.

Maybe WAMO's gain in the last Arb Phase was because KISS was being TOO much like them. To my recall, WAMO was the biggest gainer.

Just to clear this up, Was WQYK a talk format also or was it something else? I am unfamiliar with the St Petersburg formats?

Have you ever listened to hot 101 101.1 in ohio. Sometimes I am able to pick it up in the car in Pittsburgh. It has a nice CHR/POP sound to it?

WAMO Lite....wasn't that Mix Jamz 100.7??? Man...I think even that station would kill KISS if it were still alive today. Now I wonder what will happen as the craze over Rhythmic continues to die out. I mean, Fiddy is getting kind of stale, Eminem is hanging up his microphone. Bands like Green Day...Weezer...even GULP...Country artists are starting to take over the top 40 charts once more. How can Kiss compete with that?
People's musical tastes are in flux (again)...Give it time...Kiss will have to change or be taken out by someone! As to who that is remains to be seen...but its a great opportunity for any Pittsburgh Programmer who wants to become the hero of the day.

WQYK-AM/WBZZ was talk with Stern (only after the CC blowup, that's when they moved the BZZ calls), local shows mid-days, and Don & Mike. <P ID="signature">______________

If anyone hears / finds out what happens to the WBZZ calls, post back, I'd like to know.

Hot 101 is OK - sometimes not enough currents, especially in the dayparts. Often you will hear 3-4 noncurrents in a row during the day. When I listen to FM Radio anymore, I flip between this and All Hitz 97.7 out of Butler, and yes, even Kiss.

WQYK FM is a country formated station. For years it had the field to itself. Now it has serious competition and putting the format back on AM too is probably a ploy to gain some points.
