Lincoln Financial buys 104.3

F

FLjack2

That's what All Access is reporting. $13 million.

Will simulcast the Ticket.

My 2 cents: If Beasley does not get an FM outlet for WQAM, they can put a fork in it.
 
I guess this station will hurt:

WQAM
WINZ
760 in West Palm (whatever those call letters are)
and WMEN

The signal covers both markets pretty well.

Excellent move by Lincoln. Anyone know if Lincoln will begin operating the station immediately via LMA?

AllAccess indicates Lincoln will operate the station via LMA, but it didn't mention the effective date.
 
Props to:

bTBl for this post on 6/16/2012 on the original "Miami Move-In @ 104.3" thread - link here.

and "Mrtraveler01" who posted the following on 6/22/2012 - link here.
 
my goodness am i the only one who finds this to be a waste of a perfectly good clear 100,000 watt FM signal, as a simulcast of an allready existing am sports station, i find that to be a little redundant. Do we really need a sports FM ?

by the way i know some good folks at cox radio miami and there was talk of cox buying 104.3 and moving easy 93.1 onto 104 and bringing back party 93.1 hd2 back to FM.. that was a few months ago but dont know what happend. cox really is interested on some sort of party 93.1 FM ressurection...

The signal will not cover the West Palm Beach market better than, let's say, WPOW or WAMR or WHYI... a 70 dbu only up to just Boca, nothing city grade farther north.

It's going to be strictly a Miami MSA signal.
 
I doubt this will begin until the tower move is granted.....but Miami is now in the 21st century, radio-wise.

Matters not whether one prefers the situation as is, the pending situation, neither, or both:
Knowing the future but having to wait is painful.
 
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't start broadcasting as soon as they can. People under 30 have no understanding of the "AM" button on a radio. Lots of young guys are sports fans...

And 104.3 covers Broward quite nicely as-is, with little problem picking it up anywhere in the populated parts of Dade on a decent car radio. And now that the cat is out of the bag, who's to stop somebody else to beat them to the punch by what could be many months until they sign on in Hallandale?

I suppose you are right, but when the only PBP right now is the Marlins, I think they may wait until the basketball season starts. The Heat should benefit greatly.

WFAN in NY is typically between 5th and 10th in Men 18-34; over 35 they tend to be a couple of rank positions higher.

But 18-34's use AM sports radio when it is good. There are FM sports stations that underperform in young demos because the programming is not compelling. The issue here is whether the present format is good or not. If it is not, it won't benefit much from adding FM.

David,

Then how do you feel about the current incarnation of WAXY?
