Someone once said they were going country to compete with TXT, but for now they are doing standards with WJRD.

Yeah, by the sound of it, they do seem to be sticking with that format. For how long is anyone's guess. I have to admit that the logic of doing this escapes me, but as someone else said in another thread, at least it's a different format than you usually hear on small-market FM.
To me, this market seems saturated with country stations already. We have TXT, Catfish, the Bull, and ZZK. Can the market really support yet another one? If I could be so bold, here's what might work. Flip WFFN to WDGM's oldies format, and flip WDGM to sports talk, then make a strong push to get carriage agreements for as many games as possible. UA football would be ideal, but almost any UA sports would do. Not that I'm a huge fan of sports talk, but I bet it could make money.

I'm not familiar with the radio goings-on in Tuscaloosa, but I'm sure most of the UA sports rights are locked up.
However, I do think you're on the right track with sports talk, I could see that doing well on either WDGM or WFFN. A simulcast of WJOX 690 and clearance of the SEC's version of "Conference Call", perhaps? <P ID="signature">______________

WFFN 95.3FM is just simulcasting WJRD 1150AM until Citadel/Apex puts the new country format on which I am guessing will be in July. Sports radio on a Tuscaloosa FM wouldn't work and I suggest letting WACT 1420AM stick with that. I could see Oldies 99.1FM being flipped to Urban Gospel or simulcast 790AM WTSK. Do you guys think anyone will pick up the coverage area for Hip Hop SINCE 95.7 JAMZ has moved in order to servce that format in Tuscaloosa? I know it would make money.

Why NOT Sports?

Huh? A fanatic college town with a relatively young adult population. Why wouldn't it work? <P ID="signature">______________
