Some History about 97.7 fm

Re: Some History about 97.7 fm

What is WOXYs current ERP, cant seem to find it on the web, LaMega 97.7 comes in very strong in Florence Ky, one of the louder stations on my dial and even though I dont listen to them, You would think with the better signal someone like Hubbard who is not maxed out by the ownership rules, would grab it. It has a better signal than WYGY at my house anyway?

They have a very srong signal in Northern Kentucky area all the way south of Walton KY. If Queen City Broadcasting decides to sell it to Hubbard they should place a classic hits format on it.

I can recall a station that one could nearly do PUSH-UPS under and risk their butt touching the bottom bay—the former WOCH-FM [106.1] in North Vernon, Indiana. I can't remember the total number of bays involved at that time, but I suspect at least 8 were suspended from the side of the short 1460 AM tower. My roommate and one of my best friends in college was a member of the extended Ochs family. Larry knew I was a broadcast major, so on my first weekend visit to his home, he made WOCH a Saturday morning destination. That station was "a trip" in 1974!!!

I was fortunate to enjoy WOXR during the Rick Sellers years when I was in high school. "Down on the Farm Radio" was an 18-year-old's dream come true, and Rick Sellers was one of THE FINEST MEN I have ever met in the Radio biz. For some curious reason he paid attention to me—allowing me to hang out at the station and even accommodating me in his social events [I actually drove him 3 times to my hometown so he could enjoy our local Country Club pool and dinner with my family]! He was really important in my life at that time and gave me a lot of valuable guidance – it PAID OFF. I guess he still owns stand-alone 1450 KMRY in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

More warmed over classic hits...what an original idea. ::)

Radio needs more creative thinkers like you.
 
Re: Some History about 97.7 fm

Anything beats their current format which is last in the ratings at #37. I'm not sure how they are making any money serving a very small percentage of Hispanic listeners. Hey, How about another Country station :)
