Mega 103.5 HD-2 going away?
- Thread starter jras20
- Start date
It probably has to do with the move from the Kyle tower into Austin.

WaterLoo Has Proven To Be Bad Owners Maybe Entercom Should Have Bought These Stations
Waterloo is just a renaming of Sinclair (not related to the TV group) which co-owned the stations since 2003.
They have 40% of the total market billings, and have 6 stations in the top 12 billers.
And they are making money; Entercom is not.

I won't be listening to 103.5 HD2 anymore when I'm in Austin. What a shame!
LOL maybe the Mega people can start a pirate station, it will take them 10 years before they're busted judging by what's happened there in the past.

Nothing you say has any basis in business reality, you regularly comment on signals or business/format decisions from the POV of a radio geek. Just because you cant hear a signal from 100 miles away anymore because of a translator, just because an HD2 sub you liked goes away, doesnt make it a bad decision or a bad company.

Mega was a great format I think still deserves a spot on the air in Austin. What's Bob gonna do when Christmas is over?

I Will Not Be Talk Down To Just Because You Guys Dont Have A Sense Of Creativity And You Are All Complacent Insulting Imagination I Have A Very Active That You People Will Never Comprehend Im Sure If The AirWaves Could Talk They Would Take Up For Me AfterAll I Have Been With Them Through Thick And Thin With All The Junk That Has Happened This Decade Since The Big Mistake In Austin Radio In 2009 I Have Thought Of Dropping Off Tons Of Times But I Dont Because For Me Its Not Just Money Radios A Hobby Love I Care So Much For Every FM/AM Frequency From 87.5/107.9/530/1710
For commercial radio stations, this is a business. Just as a store wants to stock merchandise that customers want, a radio station wants to provide a format and programming that listeners will use as much of as possible.
Limited appeal and unsuccessful formats are dropped.
I don't know what you are referring to in 2009, but what I do know is that was the deep part of the great recession which forced many changes in radio.
Oh, and in the US the AM band is 540 to 1700, not 530 to 1710. The FM band begins at 88.1.
We are not insulting you, but David.. me, b-turner... work in radio and are speaking from experience and knowledge. This is a business, not a hobby and doesnt cater to hobbyists.
And please, stop capitalizing every word.. with no punctuation... thats very hard to read. Weve told you that before and I realize you may have some form of a disability, but please try and comprehend that

KNLE is still local
Hey Robert you may wanna check out 88.1 KNLE, right at the beginning of the dial. last I heard they played exclusively local music submitted by the station's listeners. I talked to the guy who runs it on the phone once, and he isn't a fan of the music industry, opting instead to play local music. SO there's good local Christian programming there at 88.1 in Austin!
