Delaware Multiple Delmarva stations to be sold to WBOC.

Not worth its own thread, but Draper's WCEM 1240 Cambridge is officially gone. They cite not finding a new transmitter location and no buyers.

More informative than I expected. Were I a billionaire...and I'm being serious (ha!)...I'd have bought it myself. I have a soft spot in my heart for AM 1240. I certainly get it: short of a hobbyist looking to dump good money after bad for years on end, I just don't see how it would be viable. Some of us will mourn, nonetheless.
 
Thanks. I obviously don't know the geography very well there. Perhaps flip the AC station to Hot AC and do Classic Hits on WINX?
What about that "DocksideRadio" domain that was registered for 94.3? Some sort of Adult Hits?

Me, I'd move "Coast Country" to 94.3 (stronger signal in Easton) and 106.3... could be a Big 107.7 simulcast, maybe. Or make that Dockside Radio.

Did Draper register the Dockside Radio 94.3 domain? First I'm seeing this. Curious if true.
 
That's the winner!


Not sure about adult hits though, maybe? The station says to be a mix of trop-rock, laid-back country and chill acoustic.
Have been listening to "Dockside Radio" for the past 2 hours and think this it's a great mix. Now, full disclosure, I'm a parrot head who loves Buffett, Chesney, Marley, Zac Brown, etc. and also spends a ton of time listening to The Spectrum on SiriusXM and am also a fan of WRNR. So, really like that they're balancing out the trop-rock with some adult rock.

Kudos to them for not going with a cookie-cutter AC, classic hits, etc. format with the same 500 songs every other classic hits station is playing. Hope they can get some traction and listeners...
 
I recall a similar format being used by Forever media on one of it's Delmarva stations a few years back; I suspect Steve Monz might have had a hand in that as well. I've lost track of what happened to it after Draper came in...it was what became of the old "The Wave" oldies station(s). A yacht rock/Buffett/Chesney thing that was quite listenable.
