I think Dark Ambient music should be on 610 WIP

[phils07]

I think CBS should try a neo-classical/dark ambient/symphonic rock format on 610 WIP. It would still sound ok on AM. Where else on the radio could you hear Amber Asylum, Within Temptation, Kamelot, Tristania, Sirenia, and Nightwish?

That format sounds extremely depressing. And, NO, CBS won't be stupid enough to try it.

Nor anyone else who wants to not go broke.

Placeholder format on 106.9?

You want this sort of thing, you're probably better off getting a wifi-capable/cloud networking device (newer HDTVs or media player boxes like Roku or Slingbox) and use a plugin app like pandora. It's either that or streaming netradio or possibly one of the more esoteric Sirius/XM stations. To be honest, I wish freeform FM radio (in the noncomm band at least) was still in fashion nowadays...

Uh...I think Phil is spoofing with us.

I dunno, the Classical on WPEN-FM HD2 sounds pretty good, and begets a long TSL, though cume may be deficient. That comedy translator out in Kansas City that's getting numbers made for some good listening over the holidays. Traffic, Weather and comedy. When the news gets too heavy, Comedy 610 could be the KYW commuter listener's second choice.

I understand WTAR 850 is doing respectable in tidewater Virginia with the 24/7 Comedy Network http://247comedy.com/. This could be a good format for either 950 or 610.

Putting on a satellite-fed Standards format like Music of Your Life makes more sense!

Which compared to the original idea is what is sometimes called damning with faint praise.

Keeping it as is makes the most sense.

I don't see that coming back anytime soon outside of a handful of stations. If free-form was to ever return in the foreseeable future on terrestrial radio, it would almost certainly have to be on AM and likely on a marginal outlet or 'non-powerhouse'. Frankly, I think going to a non-comm or hybrid revenue model could be the future for some AM stations. Have you checked out WBZH Pottstown PAhttp://www.wbzh.net/?

Maybe true.

For the classical fans with HD radios, sure, there might be a long TSL. The only problem is, there are few HD radios in range of 97.5. You can have a higher cume playing classical music on a street corner.

If you want some dark and ambient noise, tune in to 600 and 620 for some IBUZ.
