Ben Ferguson out at WREC

So 101.9 really is moving out of Jonesboro? Wow! I thought that project was dead since no one's talked about it here.

 

[DeadElvis]

From what I have been told -- by someone who should know -- the project is nearing completion.

DE, are they keeping the KISS/CHR format?

 

[DeadElvis]

I know nothing about potential formats. I'm just informed about the on-going engineering.

Ultimately, though, this will no longer be a Jonesboro station (in fact, a C2 is moving in behind them on 101.7). So, what the station is doing in Jonesboro now should not play into the calculus of what they do here.

We *DO* know, however, that it won't be the Thaddeus Matthews station. That enviable position is already taken.

Matthews' politics aside, if he manages to actually bring a full time blues station to the city, I'll listen.

WRVR HD2 has a very nice blues format (for the 10 or 12 of us with HD radios).

OK. The 64K question. Where are they moving TO? IF they are by chance joining WYPL on the Frenchman's Bayou tower then it may mitigate the huge waste of public money I was just ranting about on the WYPL thread.


EDIT: Ok, never mind. It looks like they will be on the KWAM tower. My WYPL rant stands.

Ben Ferguson, lot of talent, little substance

 

[Grapevine]

Debby Hall, lots of issues, little talent

 

[radioznmyblood]

Grapevine is not much of a judge of talent if he thinks Debby has "little". Issues.....maybe......but she hasn't been in the market for umpteen years by having no talent. Is it possible you have an ax to grind?

 

[northwoods]

I can't hear that station after sundown. Imagine what happens when they have to reduce power in the winter at 4:45...has to be a bit of a shocker going to that facility.

I listen online. That might be a possible option available.

Oh my. they just moved into a some kind of new studio the other day at KWAM. My gosh, it sounded like
they were broadcasting from a brick basement. Ouch. Wonder how many listeners switched over from 600?
