Anchor Will Buy WENO
- Thread starter jetfli
- Start date
I saw in the resistance's Facebook page that the possible sale of WNAZ/WNRZ has been delayed until next year. I don't know if that's because Trevecca decided to sell WENO first. I'd hope that selling WENO could help finance, at least in part, the updates that are needed to keep WNAZ on so that they won't have to sell it.
This means we could have a interesting Gospel competition in Nashville...there will be three stations not too far away from each other on the AM dial:
760 if WENO flips, then "The Light" when they finish the move from 1550 in Clarksville to 830 in Goodletsville, and 880 WMDB, Nashville's "other" heritage urban station as opposed to 1470 WVOL.
I think "The Light" will have the edge because they come off the bird (Sheridan Gospel Network) and don't have too many preachin' shows on the network, plus they'll have an AM to go along with two existing FM translators and The Party's HD subchannel.
760 will be trying to gain a listener base from scratch because all their current listeners will be furious if/when they flip (like when I discovered that "The One" flipped to "The Beat") because they're going from one end of the spectrum to "the dark side", and those listeners will move on to 710, 980, or 1160.
880 will still have its loyal listeners, but I don't think they can overcome an AM/FM simulcast, as the younger gospel demo (let's say that's 18 to 34 because I don't think gospel has a target demo that I know of) will use the FM more, and the old folks (35+) will use the AM side.

I have noticed that WENO has dropped several of their daily programming (James Dobson's Focus On The Family, Janet Parshell's America, etc.) in favor of PAID PROGRAMMING touting Vitamins, Gold Investing, Healthing Eating, et al, over the last several months. I was just wondering how much longer they were going to be a Christian station.
