Rock 104.5 is retiring

Well, it's 5:47AM ET and the looped stunting still airs......

BostonRandy, I am on the train with you on this one.....are they looking to launch the new format at exactly 10:45 this morning now? Why I say that 10:45 equals 104.5....it makes sense right?

10:45 would make as much sense as anything at this point. Needless to say, anything not resembling a rock format will chase away Rock 104.5 listeners as soon as it debuts, so why not at 10:45, 15 minutes before 11 (for you double time checkers).
 
Yes, I am intrigued too. @JAWilson, thanks for wondering where I was last night. I was listening...and I followed the comments here till around 10:30 w/o signing on. I just thought it best to stay on the side lines. I've always been about heritage and it was sad to see something that was so very special to a lot of people go away. Actually I was speechless when the long, live version of Freebird played.

They'll be plenty of time and at a more appropriate time to weigh in on whatever happens. My hope is always that the radio market becomes stronger as a result. We'll have to just stay tuned....and the stunt/loop continues
 
Oops...one more thing... not sure if anyone mentioned this...in the malfunction part of the loop..it sounds like they are trying to say...that station is not "ready" before it all fades away. So I'm thinking, it could be once the stunt is over and we hear the entire version of Fooled Around and Fell In Love (as an example) and that will be the format. Or, they can be cute and say this station IS READY and WOKV miraculously appears...just a thought.
 
At this point I am starting to think Cox is taking this stunt a bit too far. If this was the days without all the ways to access info about where the station and music has gone, I would be able to understand the stunt for a few days. However, that is not the case to be honest.

I have all of the radio formats and songs memorized now.

I wish they'd just do it already!

I had it so down pat....it was in my dreams last night......that is not good. Also I agree that they just need to do it. I suggested that they might make the change at 10:45 AM. I can't see this stunt going on all day...just no way.
 
I have something to point out: If they were moving Power 104.5 over they wouldn't do this stunt because they could easily change the playlist over without any issue since all the stations are usually connected together through the computer. The stunt loop is not running on automation so I am.wondering by the way the stunt is being done that they are using this time to load the new format up. Just my two cents.
 
Seems to me that May 1 might be the date; first-of-months are common for format flips.

i'm not in jax...but hip hop what i thought it'd be since 106.1 was doing so well. why others thought it would be an easy format-with hard to sell demos i'm told-is a mystery to me !
 
Easy format that would be Soft AC that would give WEJZ a challenger which is badly needed in this market. The format is working very well in Miami against their heritage Lite station.
