Noticed a huge, local stereo signal on 96.7 MHz from my Pinellas (Clearwater/Largo border) home today, Sunday, 1:45-2:03 p.m. All-Urban, mostly lighter stuff (Usher, etc.) seemingly via a CD-shuffle source, as about 3-5 seconds gap between songs, no voice announcements during my listen.
The signal (using the closest-available radio, a GE Super Radio III with whip antenna) looped either towards Largo/High Point or NE St. Petersburg, or downtown Clearwater (suspect the latter being that the signal was equally good to my NW). The transmitter was abruptly cut at 2:03 p.m., not to return through this typing, and not located on any alternate channel. This is NOT the same station as the 96.7 St. Petersburg Old School/Urban pirate, which has seemingly been inactive for a few months now (and was never very strong at this location, when active).
Also, current Urban/dance, slogan always "107 Point 9 P-F-M", trouncing 107.9 WSRZ-Sarasota (BTW, why do they sometime use "107 Point 9, Oldies 108" drops? How dumb to use two "frequency" refs on the imaging).
