So What's going on at 98.1

poledo said:
Has anyone looked at qantumfwb.com lately? The temporary site lists their TWO Fort Walton stations, WWAV and WMXZ. Humm, what about 92.1 and 98.1?

Bro that is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay old. That page was up when I worked at Fly in 2005.
 
Hey, while everyone was watching ALABAMA WIN THE BCS! Someone was messing up the format on 98.1. Before midnight they were looping "Nothing From Nothing" and after midnight they were looping "A Little Less Conversation".

All I can say is that they're up to (at least) TWO songs a day.

Didn't catch the TOH ID... distracted by something on TV and my Tivo remote doesn't seem to work on the SuperRadio.
 
Update

10 AM Friday 1.8.2010.

98.1 is quiet.

They are still on the air at low power... just not playing anything.
 
Been off and on Friday Jan 8. As of 10pm they are signing "WHWI Holt / Fort Walton Beach 98.1 FM" and still looping.
 
Randy, yea, sounds like it may be a top 40 station by the calls. Wonders if there on 100KW again..

Sadly, youre probably right about the country format. Why would you take away from youre other formats? and, who runs 105.5?
 
Could be Highway 98 or I-98. Either way, it works. FWIW, it could surface (finally) as CHR i98--a carbon of WJLQ--which could trigger a C&D from Crumulus. But I'll put my $1.50--no, wait--make it 98 cents--on Country.

Always remember, Ladies & Gentlemen of the radio-info.com boards, us money-grubbing broadcast executive types ain't doing this to provide more variety for your dining and dancing pleasure. It's all about making money. And in FWB, Country is where the money is. Blast 105.5 out of the water and force THEM to change. Maybe then you'll get something different. ;D
 
There currently off the air and I hear static due to the cold air :( was hearing something else last night, a georgia station.
 
Do ice crystals improve the taste of tropo? I bet you're loving the Canada chill on the coast, rob.
Don't freeze your strobey's off, CCENG.
 
As of 11:30pm tonight they were playing "American Pie" over and over again. There's no telling what the new format will be but they are doing a good job of making us wonder.

Don Mclean's American Pie could be an indicator that country is on the way since country has always been looked upon as All American Music and as American as apple Pie. [Hint]
 
if it is country, then this area has way to many of them..let's recap:

92.5
93.7
94.9
95.5
96.9
98.7
102.7
103.5
104.7
105.5

and who will fill in the classic rock gap as 96.1 starts crapping out in FWB?
maybe danbo would be wise to maybe put 102.1 back to pure classic rock?? though the new format does well..

i must be one in a few who hate country down here.. bleh

I was goin to read all the way through before I chimed in, and the LAST post by Rob nailed what I wanted to say...

While a "Country 98" or "US 98" would make for some fun, creative branding for a country station, it would also be one of like....7 I can listen to at any given time.

Country isn't an impossibility, but I'm telling you...with the right marketing a Classic Rock, or hell...just ROCK format would make good sense here.

We have 99, and we have TK. TK is pretty much active rock, and 99 with all due respect is all over the place trying to be everything to everyone.

I'll just wait w/the rest of you and see what happens...I've not listened yet today.....

Anybody been upstairs at the Star Broadcasting building lately? Did they ever find the mad gorilla that trashed it? Only the AM studio is clean.

LMAO...cuz those boys are SLOBS! Dave Kuntz, Mad Mike and I are the ONLY ones that ever cleaned up the K-ROCK side....I've not been up there in over 2 years....

To the guy who's name I can't remember that said he might not be qualified to respond to my post....DUDE, you're a listener, and as such probably MORE qualified than me on some points. You know what sounds good and what doesn't...I'm jaded by my own wants and ego...lmao

I can't see though, Top 40 in Destin. They would directly conflict w/ Fly and that "party station" branding. Oldies? Nope. Snowbirds aren't around long enough.

top 2 formats w/ Military...Country and ROCK. Country is God Mother and Country, and Rock is FIGHT MUSIC. Both of which are in high demand in a nation at war.


Personally, I'm hoping for a rocker......I REALLY NEED A JOB......lmao

ugh...you said AC..not Top 40....

Still...you don't think AC would get into the "Psuedo Jack" format at The Wave?

Only 2 strong formats that wouldn't directly collide w/ their revenue stream IMHO would be Country or a Rocker, and Country is already pretty thinly spread around here.....
