It's Official - Sports on 92.3 August 29th

Again...WNCX's classic rock format has to be performing far better from an ad revenue standpoint than has been rumored (by almost everybody).

Why else launch a potential multiple-county, multiple-market, killer money-making format on a frequency that covers maybe 60% of the 5-county Cleveland metro area?

By the way...92.3's coverage is locked in due to other stations on the same frequency (Columbus, Detroit), and a co-channel (WDJQ 92.5 in Alliance/Canton)....3 stations they must protect....so the coverage can not be upgraded/improved. It truly is what it is.

Ouch! :D

OK, so I took a brief "victory lap", but this earlier quote of mine says it all:

I'm sure Nathan will say the same as I have...the breadth and depth of sources previously unused, many from outside the market, was stunning...at least to me. This thing brought us out-of-market reliable sources like a magnet. Seeing all that, it's no wonder our predictions mostly turned out to become reality.

I'm more bewildered than anything, how it got to be So Big, So Quick.
 
Trying to tune in 92.3 yesterday and today on the car radio has been pretty much useless in Vermilion and Lorain with the reception constantly flip-flopping between WKRK and WMXD/Detroit. Same thing was happening on 93.1 with WDRQ/Detroit, 95.5 with WKQI/Detroit, 99.5 with WYCD/Detroit, and an unknown station on 100.7 drowning out WMMS. Is CBS actually aware of the reception challenges on 92.3?

I (used to) lived in Lorain for most of my life. and never had a problem getting 92.3, except when going out west on route 6. sldo definitely never had a problem with 99.5 and 100.7, they come in clear as day

We're in prime tropospheric propagation right now. Someone even posted a link to a map about it. It's just a fact of life in summer along the lake.

Note that even full market class Bs like 99.5, 100.7 and 93.1 are getting clobbered by the cross-lake propagation. I even wrote an item about this a couple of years or so ago, when the OMW Mobile's car radio sounded like I was driving around Detroit/Windsor instead of Northeast Ohio.

There's nothing 92.3 can do about trop. Period. Neither can all of the local stations listed above. It's just physics.
