You might want to get that tuner looked at...Since WVRT (Variety 97.7) moved it's stick and put a transmitter in Mt. Carmel you can pick up a very staticy 97.7 in State College. The closer to Lock Haven you get it starts to come in more clearly. As for the name of the station your opinion has been noted. Question though, What name makes a better fit G101 or Revolution 101? You said it yourself that Revolution makes you think Disturbed, last time I checked we don't play Disturbed. So why keep branding a name that makes no sense?
