Funny RDS on WENZ

W

wscx200

I was in Cleveland last night and I tuned into WENZ for a minute. When I hit the info button on my car radio it said WENZ 'The End' then I hit it again and it said 'Cleveland's Modern Rock.'

I know they used to be a modern rock station, but they switched in like 1998. Did they even have RDS then?

Ha...you're right...the scroll IS telling folks they're "Modern Rock"
Maybe they're planning on a return to the old "END" format and this is how they're leaking it out....
Nahhhhhh.
Still pretty amusing that the station has no idea what's going on their own RDS subcarrier. They'd be better off just pulling the plug on the thing...
or....(a better idea)
donating the RDS generator to a poor commercial-free station that would actually use it.

What I'd give for one day of the old format rather than the current (c)rap they blare out.

Just took another look....
Looks like they did indeed pull the plug.
Still think they should donate it to a poor commercial-free FM station that would prob insert song titles & artists...as well as the usual RBDS stuff.
I have an excellent candidate in mind!
