I worked in Peoria about 10 years ago. Who owns what today? I'd love to move home someday. I'm tired of The Lone Star State.

Peroria Radio Market

radiotexas,
From what I've heard and read, there's been a lot of changes in the Peoria market over the past few years, and even the last few months. Those with more knowledge of the current status of the market will have to fill you in on that since I left there 7 years ago. I still have relation there so I do give a few stations a listen when I'm in the area. Where did you work before leaving Peoria?

WWCT was blown up on the 105.7 frequency in June of 2003. The call letters and format moved to 96.5, where it stayed until September 2006. Now the call letters are on 99.9FM, with the name "Pirate Radio"
The beginning of the end of WWCT came long before 2003, when the owners decided not to carry Bob and Tom, then sold the station to Kelly Communications, and then later AAA. It just couldn't hold the glory it once had. All good things must come to an end...
