It appears we may have a station to replace WABB, and it's not 107.3
As of 12:00 tonight, 104.1 Jack FM is now known as WABD their banner even looks like the old WABB, wonder if the old hosts will make the move!

I'm a businessman and I have a heart. I am also greedy, I won't deny it. When Mr. moneybags wants to talk to me about buying my business the first questions I ask are how he will take care of my long term employees (due to the economy and my skills at picking good people all my full timers have 15+ years under their belts, I want those men taken care of). One reason the Ditman family would have to sell the intellectual property of WABB to Cumulus (or CC) would be to include the employment of WABBs employees that are (or would be) out of a job today. Do the Dittmans have a heart? If I had owned WABB and sold it to EMF and no one came offering decent cash to by the intellectual property... I'd be calling them. Offering the call letters, etc, if they would give my employees a job with equal wages and corporate benefits that family owned WABB might not have been able to offer.
Now if Mr. Moneybags has deep enough pockets I would take the money and run. Give my employees a real nice severance check (3 months pay maybe) and never look back.
I know radio is cutthroat. That's one main reason I never went that way after college student radio. I still may choose to be an owner/operator when/if I get to retire... but I kinda doubt radio will be anything like it is today in 20 years. My adviser tells me I can't retire this year and I need more money.

I actually heard a Matt McCoy produced promo for HMN on 96.1 the Rocket this afternoon. They've been letting people know on the air and online.

By what measure? Likes? Wall posts? Pokes? Farmville requests?
Facebook "likes" as of 10pm today- 107.3- 2,124.....104.1- 2,172
Just shows to show how much they were an impact and influence to the Mobile-Pensacola area They truly will be missed but the rebranding that is going on 104.1 could be something special. We will just have to wait in the coming week to hear and see who will be representing "WABD". I hope it's going to be well-worth it; knowing mornings have been taken care off and there are a lot of people who are ecstatic with the news. I wonder what 107.3 will do to keep up?Zach said:
