Look for the "Big" announcement Thursday morning. Looks
like Oldies WOGT (107.9) will do a WGOW-AM Hannity,
Rush, O'Reilly simulcast or move the current mostly
local talk talent WGOW-FM line-up down the dial to 107.9's
stronger signal and put the afore mentioned WGOW-AM line-up on WGOW-FM.
Either way, their will still be a lot of confusing G call letters
in Chattanooga. But, probably not an oldies station...
And, for what it is worth ---
The flip of oldies WMAK-FM in Nashville has turned out
to be the best thing to EVER happen to Oldies in Music
City. A day after Oldies 96.3 switched to JACK-FM,
Cumulus flipped Hot AC Star to Oldies 97.1 and took
the 96.3 local air talent along to 97.1. I think 97.1's
music is 100% better than the stale 96.3. They had
the top 500 songs (Firecracker 500) for July 4th
Weekend and it was a treat to listen to. Bravo to
Cumulus for creating a good Oldies station and I hope
it is reflected in their ratings. With all of the
Oldies stations demises we all are writing about here, it's
good to have a positive success story in the making.
And, it's not bad having JACK in Nashville, either.
It's getting serious talk, listenership and the trends
I have seen are pretty strong and in the case of
25+ females a shock! A possible win-win situation in
radio? Amazing?<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">
