I wonder what the new format could be,,, It would be hard to go up against K-92, so im surprised it lasted this long as top 40 with that signal... What are the format holes in the area,, they have tried both Modern Rock and Active Rock,, that didnt work either. My guess is Blacksburg gets an oldies station..
 
Rock's out of the question. Cumulus owns the Bear...plus 'ROV has a translator there now. Maybe a AAA, but I doubt it

Country's out of the question too...

I just can't help but imagine that the calls are a give-away. WNMX. I smell A.C. of some type.

That's a shame. I programmed that station from 2005-2007 and we were humming along pretty well. Our county breakdowns showed us beating, tying or coming in a close 2nd with K92. Not bad with a pea shooter of a signal. We owned VT and Radford and cmae up with some pretty cool promotions as well. By far one of my funner stints in radio. I think the problem lies with corporate, when Jan Jeffries took over the station, all programming decisions came from him, down to the sound codes of the songs. The station had a much different feel from that point on and I think it lost it's edge. You can't compete with K92 sounding like K92. Props goes out to Scott Stevens, Ron Gaylor, Joe Johnson and Heather, I had a blast with you guys, it was fun while it lasted.
