I thought the Star and Buc Wild Show will debut January 15, 2008? Not only are they not on the air but 87.7 is still broadcasting in Russian. Does anyone have a date on when the format will flip?

Try banging you radio once or twice. That might fix the Russian problem you are having.
Maybe they had second thoughts and are flipping country to get a head start on K-Rock? :

Unless someone walks in with a suitcase full of cash...then maybe March 4th.
I've actually heard what sounds like promos for the new format in Russian.
Will Pulse 87.7 be streaming on the internet? The signal in north jersey is terrible.
Their signal is pretty funny. A couple of days ago I was driving upstate, and I was able to carry 87.7 well past Middletown and into Pine Bush, almost at the same strength as the other Empire State Building signals. Sometime around Pine Bush, the signal began to die, but came back again for a short time in higher elevations facing NYC. There was no strange tropo event going on, so I was amazed at how far the signal was able to carry.
I found this interesting article about the launch date to Pulse 87. The station debuts this Monday, February 11th.

Besure to get your airchecks ready for the launch of "Pulse 87".

I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, because I think an LP-TV station masquerading as a radio station is a brilliant idea. HOWEVER, I have two more questions: 1) I have a factory-installed radio in my Ford that has 87.7 FM as its lowest frequency, but the Pioneer radio in my other car starts at 87.9FM. Ditto for the Kenwood tuner in my house. Can a significant percentage of FM radios even pick up 87.7FM? 2) I've listened to channel 6 on 87.7FM in several markets, but the signal on my radio is always in mono. Will Pulse's signal be in stereo?
In other places, 87.7 up in Albany carries WRGB, a CBS station on channel 6 and WPVI in Philadelphia also carries an ABC affiliate which is also on channel 6. Both of these stations are on 87.7 FM.

It seems that mostly Kenwood and Pioneer tuners begin at 87.9. Every car radio, walkman, and home stereo I've personally ever come in contact with starts at 87.7 or even 87.5, so for most people, it shouldn't be a problem.
Also, they are using regular FM modulation, not TV modulation, so the signal will be (and currently, on the Russian broadcaster occupying 87.7, is) in stereo.

Great info, thanks neo11. I'm on the Left Coast so I hope they stream!
The dance music community is looking forward to the launch!
