Bye bye Beautiful

I figured the end was coming for WKTZ. The article does state, however, that Jones College will be retaining the WJAX call letters and the intellectual property of both stations (nothing is mentioned about retaining the WKTZ call sign, however). Since Jones College is retaining the intellectual property, it would seem to indicate that both WKTZ and WJAX might have plans to move to an online-only broadcast at some point. t's a sad day seeing WKTZ come to an end, at least the FM broadcast. I can remember when WKTZ was a commercial station and originally on 96.1 FM, as I could hear it occasionally in central AL when tropo atmospheric conditions would prevail.

This format will eventually disappear from the broadcast dial; it is a wonder it has not already. In order to preserve the EZ/BM format, I and some friends of mine have been working diligently to find people to start EZ/BM radio stations online. So far, we are up to 6 stations, entirely in the southern US. I'm currently talking with two other people, one in the western US and another in a southern US city, about starting online EZ/BM stations for those areas as well. If you believe you would like to join us in saving EZ/BM radio via the internet, please contact me at [email protected].
