History of the Bone

V

vchimpanzee

I've been starting stub articles for nearly every station in sight on Wikipedia. Most of the stations I know a little something about, but in other cases I'm just laying a foundation for others. Well, for this station I got in trouble. The article got tagged because it has no real information. I was really trying to do a history of the 103.7 frequency, but the article was about WBNE. What I could have done (I have since learned) was a redirect to WBNU.

So who can help me add to the WBNE article?

This is all it needs to say...

"The Bone rips off every other station in Wilmington."

I KNOW that ;D, but opinions aren't allowed on Wikipedia. Unless you're quoting a celebrity quoted in a reputable source.

I only heard the station a few times, and that was after they got the second signal.
 
They are now on 103.7 only after a signal upgrade

93.7 got shifted to their talk station

Just an FYI

and yes they continue to "borrow" from every station in town....good form of flattery...except they dull it up to be worthless.

Station will be speaking spanish inside a year
 
What is it they say "copy an idea within your market - call it stealing; copy it from outside the market and call it research!"

Got it, thanks.
 
Oh, brother, did I ever make a mess. I wrote about the radio station I had heard on 103.7 in Myrtle Beach. But for some odd reason, when I clicked on 103.7, I was told I was writing a new article about WBNE. Which at the time I believed was on 93.7. So I wrote a very brief article about 93.7 FM, which got tagged for being too short. I knew it needed further background.

So after finding out last week that 93.7 FM was no longer The Bone, I fixed the 103.7 article, as well as the one for 106.3 (and I added the details about 103.9 as well--now it makes sense). At some point I decided to redirect the 93.7 FM article to the 103.7 one. Later I realized I had left out the reason why 103.7 could be by itself. And when I went to Radio-Locator ... uh-oh. THIS is why I was writing about WBNE after I clicked on 103.7. I had to do a "Move", which it wouldn't let me do until I changed the letters to WBNE-FM. And it told me to check to see what linked to the old article. Oops, I have to fix WLTT too, because it still says WBNU.

I need me some WEZV.
 
The Bone's "Dutch" rocks! best talent on the station. The GM is the issue with Sea-Comm. An engineer by trade with no programming background.
 
The Bone (93.7 WFXZ FM) signed on in November of 2000. A year or two later, the calls were changed to WBNE, at the urging of the consultant. It was the last FM license to be granted as the band was full. Chris Scharf (who was also PD of Surf 107 WSFM at the time) was the original PD. They started out with all-music mornings, followed shortly thereafter with the syndicated Bob & Tom Show. Sully (Paul Sullivan) was the first midday jock, Cameron (Post) in the afternoon and me at night. We were all PTers from Surf. The lineup was juggled many times... I moved to middays, then back to Surf as PD (I was actually doing middays live on Surf while voicetracking the same shift on the Bone at one time) Cameron moved to Hawaii, Sully went back to Surf, then to WXNR-Greenville... then NYC. Bud Stone was brought on as the next PD. Amy J did afternoons. Bryan & Jim were moved to the Bone when Surf signed on Lex & Terry. I went to Norfolk Va after Wilmington (and now Pittsburgh). Just wanted to throw you a little Bone history. It was the first (and only to date) brand spankin new station I've gotten to help sign on. Fun times.

Thanks. Would you be willing to write a Wikipedia article? It could be a subhead under 103.7 The Bone. Sometimes that has been done.
