No offense Roger, but you are a self proclaimed listener and not in the "biz". What you heard is boring rumor. NOBODY releases info before a change. Except for the "final" live mountain event on 102.3 the 17th. They would NEVER go CHR.

Roger has taken to typing with one hand he's so excited about this 'change' that's coming. I told him not to put all his money on the deadline he 'knows' but did he listen? No-o-o-o...
Keep going Roger. Maybe the discrepancy between what you 'know' and reality will be enough to do the trick.

@ T-O :
>> "the "dead spots" aren't nearly as dead as they might appear
maybe in the Catskills they are, but here in the valleys of NEPA there really isn't much dead space anymore" <<
I must not have been paying that much attention then, Zenith. At the time, I had been driving between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, though, and was hitting the tuning arrow (once I found it :- ) to hop one freq at a time instead of the seek, or scan, whatever it is.
Spot-on about the Catskills! That area is a tragedy for DX, especially AM, having only and handful of lower-power stations plus a terrible noise problem inside where I stayed. My kid sister suggests that the ground conductivity has been eroded by a hundred years of decomposed matzoh. I was using a battery portable, too.
Mid-Sullivan County is a bit like Scranton/Wilkes-Barre inasmuch as the 'graveyard' frequencies are pretty well represented.
Sullivan has 1240 and 1340 ; so does S/WB, along with 1400.
But the dial similarity ends about there.
I notice that the Radio-Locator site, in its wide DX mode, lists 46 FM stations within range of Moosic. As I recall, yeah, I had been tuning only at the lower end of the FM dial .... 92.5, 93.3, 97.5, perhaps. According to the list, 103.5 was blank. Those places might be scoffed up in late October when the next LPFM window opens.

Steven Green NEPA, there had been a low powered Christian station in Scranton at 97.5 just before the economy bit the dust in 2008.
It hadn't been on the air for long. Owned by some guy in Texas.
And some church had had dibs on 92.5 for a while, but I never heard a signal.
A lot of what appears to be empty here has random spill over from high powered stations in other areas.

Because really, who doesn't want the FM dial to be a replica of the AM dial?
Jeez, this area is saturated with SPORTS....SPORTS...SPORTS!! Not only that, but a bunch of religious translators, talk formats, country and a lack of variety in this market!
Perhaps 94.3 should drop the talk format already! Flip it to like AC to compete with the market powerhouse Magic 93. Or better yet, do AAA now that the Mountain is going away and the River moved on from classic rock to a hybrid classic hits-gold AC format. And please, if they do, better not be another religious station....
