Atlantic / Cape May County Radio Stations

[chris635]

95.1/102.3 - I think WAYV needs to change up there music. Same Very edited music, all the time! They are Very Boring anymore.

102.7 - Like JSE wish they could bump up their signal!

99.3/105.5 - What's with Kiss Fm? They have NO personalities, Mixes, Nothing! They should Just go back to The Buzz. At least they had DJ's, Mix Shows, and a format (Hip Hop/R&B). Seems like they are leaning towards Rap anymore; but still classify themselves as Top 40. I wish they would make up their mind. Seems like a waste of a station since there is nothing special about them. It's like an IPod playing the same 10 songs over and over. Why purchase the Kiss Fm brand if there doing nothing with it?

106.7 - Coast Country is a disaster! Got a 0' in the latest ratings. Time to change the format up!

These are some of my opinions. What do you guys think? Overall, I am very bored with the variety in South Jersey.

5/6th of the signal 106.7/Coast Country is over water. Marine life is ineligable for survey measurements under current rules.

What do you expect from a 3,000 watt signal practically sitting in Delaware Bay???

106.7 serves more of Delaware than it does New Jersey and is practically an Ocean City, MD market station!

I'd say get a new frequency.  At least 107.9 or something.  I do not know why there even IS a format on that frequency in the first place.

Wasn't there a short period of time that a Class A @ 107.7 could have been placed in the NW Cape May/SE Cumberland Country area after WSNJ-FM moved to 107.9??....I remember someone saying it was possible....However, since WKHI in the OC market moved from 107.5 to 107.7 that's no longer possible.

Somebody did ask the FCC to allocate a Class A on 107.7 to Port Norris in 2004:

Is Port Norris far enough from WKHI for that to be allowable? I note that they have a 105.5 in that part of Maryland, and I think Port Norris would be farther away from there than Cape May Court House is.

WDYL/Richmond, VA, moved from 101.1 to 100.9. For WDYL to move, WNNT/Warsaw, VA, moved from 100.9 to 107.5. For WNNT to move, WKHI moved from 107.5 to 107.7. You need 72 miles between class-As on the same frequency, which doesn't make the 107.7 in Port Norris work anymore.

106.7's going to get a 0 rating with country with WWFG 99.9, WPUR 107.3, WDSD 94.7, and WZKT 105.9 blasting into Cape May. And in the summer, constant interference from WLTW and WJFK, as well as strong tropo-enhanced signals of the 3 competitors. The amount of country stations in Cape May is just as bad as the amount of AC and CHR stations everywhere else in NJ. Perhaps a unique format not offered anywhere else in the area (on either side of the bay) would work much better. Two great former stations come to mind, WDOX and WKOE (as The Beat of South Jersey).

But it will be #1 with the fishes.

WWFG, WDSD, and WZKT don't show up in the AC ratings. The only Country stations that matter there are WPUR and WXTU. WXTU only covers the northeastern part of the market and does not overlap with 106.7, so it's really just WPUR that they're competing with.

A niche format sounds great in theory but look at the demographics of lower Cape May County. There's a reason WDOX never did well on that signal (not that anything else has).

JerseyShor may have been on to something with the Delaware/Maryland idea. 106.7 booms into the Delaware beach resorts, which are actually growing in year-round population. Then again, that market, like Cape May, is pretty over-radioed.

I could barely pick up 106.7 in Atlantic City, 45 floors above the ground, with 95.1 WAYV, 99.3 Kiss FM, and 103.7 WMGM all off the air during the first blizzard of 2010. It would have 0 signal in AC at ground level, therefore it's a non-factor. 106.7 only serves southern Cape May county and the Delaware beaches and inland up to Route 13.

Might as well add Beautiful Music to the list of potential formats that would bring success to 106.7.
