NEW AM OLDIES STATION????

[milepost72]

When you sign the station on, request your call letters to be WWLS, and make your station's slogan, "The great 89 lives on in greater Atlanta!" and play the Oldies format. Then watch the "big-whigs" at WLS in Chicago flip their bananas and howl in protest. I mean the publicity might just generate listeners. ;D

Atlanta/Re: NEW AM OLDIES STATION????

Plus I think WLS would give a shit if they see that go through. Becuase I remember a few years a go a 750 in southern illinois adopted a talk format and a variation of the wsb call letters in 4 letter fourm and WSB Cried foul and forced the illinois station to new call letters.

Is the station actually going to be located in Lithia Springs?

 

[HHalland]

I would like to know more about this station.

Art Sutton's AM stations are some of the best technically sounding stations I have heard in decades. Seriously the 680 signal in Sylva, NC sounds so close to FM it's scary. The Adult Standards station in Toccoa also sounds great as does the 1370 in Clayton, GA. Art..my hat's off to you and your engineering types here for some outstanding sounding AM!

BTW..I may be doing some of your imaging in Sylva soon..

As someone who grew up listening to WLS and actually lived in Chicago, I think having an AM Oldies station on 890 would be fab gear! Maybe we can get Ron Riley back from doing weather in Baltimore so he can fight with Clark Webber. Larry Lujack is just sitting around in New Mexico these days, I'm sure he would love to do afternoons, just like the old days.

In case you were wondering these were the top five songs thirty years ago where "The music sounds best on Double-U Elll Essss:

1. Pushin' To Hard...Seeds
2. I'm A Believer/Steppin' Stone...Monkees
3. Georgy Girl...Seekers
4. Ruby Tuesday...Rolling Stones
5. I Think We're Alone Now...Tommy James & Shondells

On a serious note, music on AM is deader than my chances of being the father of Dannie Lynn Smith. IN addition, The Big 89, a clear channel (not the company), booms into the metro after sunset, which means you can hear it tonight at about 6:30pm. A college buddy, Bill Leff, is on at that time. The AM Oldies station would be like every other AM station, save one, in the ATL, no one could hear it after sunset.

The 1370 in Clayton, GA ismoving to Charlotte, NC on 870, with 3.8KW ND Day, they're asking just over $1 million for that CP

The 890 licensed to Lithia Springs has 5KW Day from one site west of the city and 3.8Kw Critical Hours form a site SW of the city. They are asking $1 million for that CP. 890 is a move from 1000khz in Wallhalla, SC thats a 1KW Daytimer...
