Here is another update as a result of the Seven Mountains deal

https://radioinsight.com/headlines/183256/wwlz-drops-talk-for-wmtt-simulcast/

As Seven Mountains Media continues its integrations of the former Community Broadcasters and Equinox Broadcasting clusters it purchased last year in Elmira NY, the company made another change on Monday.

Seven Mountains eliminated the Conservative Talk format on 820 WWLZ/101.3 W267CJ Horseheads and began simulcasting Classic Rock “95 The Met” 94.7 WMTT Tioga PA. WMTT is also heard on a network of translators across the region including 93.1 W226AP Hornell NY, 93.5 W228DN Elmira NY, 95.1 W236AK Corning NY, 95.7 W239BK Bath NY, 95.7 W239BQ Elmira NY, 97.9 W250BI Mansfield PA, 104.7 W284BX Alfred NY, and 107.9 W300BX Wellsboro PA.

What is Mountain planning here? Cause they got a ton of transmitters and not a lot of content to play with. Giving the Met another simulcast is stupid unless they got a long term plan.
