94.7 goes to K-Love, 93.9 goes to Air1, I would assume.

Personally I'd like to see KLove on 94.7. Too bad EMF isn't still running God's Country on any of its stations - the could have put it on 100.9 to replace KLove. I wonder what/who will LMA 100.9 if KLove does indeed move down to 94.7? Any idea when they might move? Also, has KLove moved to 93.5 in Meridian yet? I thought I still heard it on 98.9 this morning.
K-Love is on 93.5 and 98.9. Since I live in Forest, Sometimes WHJT gets to Forest and overrides K-Love. So on 93.5 we get good Christian music in Forest no matter which direction it is coming from
I heard Spanish Christian music.call it Jesus 94.7 You can say it in English or Spanish.Everybody wins!!
Hey all -
Just found out the purchase price: $2,000,000 for both stations. $657k in cash, the rest is a note bankrolled by Backyard.

1, EMF is a non-profit entity. I would think that Backyard could count any loss as a tax write off and say it was a donation. 2, radio stations don't exactly make much money these days. They might have gotten more from a commercial company but I doubt it.
Good for EMF. I'm glad to see them growing.
Wow!! Only 2 mil. That just seems insanely low to me, but I'm not a radio man by trade. My favorite Jackson station is Jack 94.7 and my wife's is Rock 93.9, so neither one of us are happy about it. However, one or both of the formats could move to another station, like 105.1.
However, on the WRJH sale, keep in mind that Roberts Broadcasting bought it. They probably paid more than they should to get the station in the first place, judging by how well they've managed their tv station properties here and elsewhere. They're probably just wishing they could have gotten in on this deal.
Wonder how much Miss 103, the tallest, most powerful FM in the state, would go for these days?

With today's climate, deteriorated ratings (now at a 5 share 12-plus), probably no more than 3.5
I remember to talking to Marshall McGee about 20 years ago when he was GM at MIS, and they were turning and burning. Getting good rates and making piles of money. Boy, how things have changed.
Has Clear Channel and New South quit laughing yet??
I think they should put KLOVE on 93.9 FM, put alternative rock/ active rock on 100.9 FM as 101X, and either keep Jack or bring Top 40 on 94.7 FM if they bring top 40 format back on a 100000 watts signal they should call it Power 94.7, 94.7 AMP Radio, or 94.7 NOW

Wouldn't mind that. However, AMP is a CBS-owned name, so I doubt if any non-CBS can use it (at least, without paying for usage. But then again, Arrow was also a CBS-owned name and it didn't stop then-WTYX from using the name).
