Lake City Changes?

[lanceventa]

I was tipped off of changes at Southern Stone's cluster in the Lake City/Live Oak area.

Classic Hits "The Lake" has apparently moved from 106.5 WCJX Five Points to 94.3 WNFB Lake City. However I cannot verify what is now on 106.5. Anyone able to fill in the blanks?

Changes Coming Soon

WNFB is still owned by the Newman family, although I suppose Stone may be in defacto control. Judging by the new branding of 'WCJX The X', I wonder if it's going to be Rock or Alternative. The only Classic Rock is WGRO AM. Their country WQHL's website also says changes coming soon.

Southern Stone has a JSA with Newman.

Is 94.3 branding as "WCJX The X"? That was a former branding of 106.5...

I think you're right on The X. I didn't realize that was an old link. 94.3 was Mix 94.3. I am trying to reach a contact in the area, but he's out of town right now. I will post if I get a heads-up on what they're doing with both stations.

Speaking of Southern Stone, they're involved in a music royalty dispute with GMR that could end up costing them millions:
