Sunny 100 No more?

R

Rumor has it that Sunny 100 has been sold, is dark(and will be for about 2 weeks) and will return ala Espanol.
Heard it from major radio advertiser.
True?
 
Looks like 1290 am WCHK is off also. What will we do without our Ludlow Porch in this local area (Canton)?
 
Friends, Loved Ones, and all who are concerned.......

This is just the same old thing that Greg Davis does with the Atlanta area stations, or those in the nearby market areas. His proven plan is to buy all of the smaller FM stations and flip the formats to NON English formats. He destroyed Lake 102 In buford and now will turn our stomach's once again with Sunny 100. Its extremely depressing. We in the age bracket that demand oldies cant be satisfied. But if your illegal, breaking our laws and crossing the borders without proper clearance then we have a format for you , and on a local licenced Fm station in the area that you currently live in... Damn, another one gone.... But then again why should anyone care? Its the state our nation's in, and thanks to our Government this continues to happen.. Sorry for anyone being offended but the truth is the truth. Welcome another station that most cant understand. Goodbye Sunny 100
 
The former Sunny 100 is going to simulcast WLKQ-FM (La Raza) in Buford. 1290 will also be Hispanic, but I'm not sure whether it's going to be part of the same simulcast. A salesperson from La Raza told me this several weeks ago.

Thanks Roddy, just great news! Will this ever stop?
 
This was such an incredible station.
Along with 102.3 they would actually take requests and play them almost immediately.

I am sick of this.
 
I agree it's sad we lost two more stations to a Spanish language and music format but the new owner has to make money on his investment. Sunny 100 was not making any money and some weeks employee's wondered if a paycheck was coming. Terrestrial radio has lost it's luster and does not matter to the english speaking audience it seems. If Sunny 100 would have had the support of the listening audience it would still be on the air. The Spanish community will still listen to am and fm radio while the rest of us listen to our ipods, internet radio and satellite. It's all about content. If there is nothing for us to be entertained by on the radio we have to many other choices. The am and fm bands have really limited itself and the listner is very challenged and for the most part turned the radio off.

AMEN
 
Unfortunately you can't get Magic 102-9 in Cobb nor can you get the oldies station on 88.9 The Rock south of town.

The closest oldies station for us North of town is AM 1030 WEBS in Calhoun, GA which is not receiveable here.

This truly sucks! Sunny 100 was the only station I enjoyed listening to after CC killed off Lite 94.9 and the oldies on 94.9 HD-2. All that's left of any interest to me is WSB 750 for news/talk but when it comes to music there's nothing left.

I've started listening to WOGL 98.1 from Philadelphia online.

How can it continue? There are no more oldies stations to kill off!

What about "North Georgia's super-hit station, Magic 102-9"?

Yeah,

It is truly pathetic that Atlanta does not have an oldies station now.

We are not all 12 and want to hear hip hop or country.
