Luke Burbank is now teamed with Dave Ross from 9 AM - 12 Noon. John Curley now has early evenings on KIRO.

Still, like "Nightside Project", it was a rather blatant attempt by Bonneville to young up the audience with the move to FM.
What was Luke's evening show called? Something like "Too Beautiful to Live"?
ETA: Ah, yes, he still has a podcast by that name on the KIRO site!

Luke Burbank's show was simply called "TBTL".

But that's clearly where the initials came from, and they do mention that full name on the podcast page's banner.
Maybe shortening it to "TBTL" was yet another attempt to "sound young and cool".

WPHR is a Vero Beach station... they do simulcast WJNO/WPB's morning show, but that's about it. It's far away enough from WPB to not pose a real threat to WJNO.
Interestingly enough, the WPHR calls were parked from the Syracuse shuffle that saw WSYR format scoot to the FM dial.

Some Updates
Word came this week that WIOD is getting a second translator in Miami-Dade County...the original translator is actually in Broward County.
99.1 in Cleveland (translator) is still in FCC limbo. Unless they have other plans for it, expect a WTAM simulcast whenever it lights up.

KFYR here in my adopted hometown (Bismarck, ND) is now simulcasting on a translator frequency, 99.7...
CC apparently has another of those translator-HD2 deals affecting Northeast Ohio...102.5/Akron has filed for an upgrade to 77 watts and is listing WKDD (CC's hot AC station in town) as a primary.
WKDD broadcasts sister talk WHLO/640 Akron on HD2...

"KFYR here in my adopted hometown (Bismarck, ND) is now simulcasting on a translator frequency, 99.7..." That just about sounds like the end of life, as we know it? Don't they cover about a dozen states in the daytime? Still, it isn't enough to get through steel buildings and mindsets!

Re: "Where will Talk Radio be in 5 years?"
Somehow, I just don't see this happening in New York. CBS' and CC's NY music FMs are doing well and don't IMHO justify a move to FM. Another thread speculated about WINS moving to FM and I think that if that happened (and I don't think it will), a WINS-FM should follow the KGO model (news blocks in AM drive, Noon and PM drive, talk the rest of the day). The suburban areas that 1010 doesn't reach don't want to hear the same NYC news every 20 minutes.
Just MHO!

According to dcrtv, DC's WMAL is going to start simulcasting on 105.9 come Monday. They probably waited until after Cumulus bought Citadel for this to happen. Doesn't help that Mike O'Mera was telling people last night that he was fired from 105.9.
liradioisbad said:
Very interesting! Could this open the way for WABC to start simulcasting 95.5 in NY? Or KGO to simulcast 104.5 in SF?
Stay tuned!
Why do you need talk on FM? it's there on AM? Are you trying to kill off radio formats such as Rock, Classic Rock, AC, Country, Top 40, Hip Hop, etc? I don't understand why there's a need to put for example Sports on 94.1 in Philly or 101.9 having talk? I don't understand that. I believe that music should remain on FM no matter what. I have nothing against talk radio but that's what AM is for. It's not hard for someone young to find their sports on AM. It's simple they just push the band button on their radios to AM.

Except they're NOT doing that. And they get their music from sources other than radio. Talk, news and sports are the three things that are iPod proof for the moment. 15 years from now, even those formats won't be safe.
Wanna bring your AM station's median audience age down 10 years in one second? Flip to FM.
My kids' generation (19 and 14) could care less about AM. Mine only hear it when they are in the car with ME.
Today's 20-somethings are much the same way. This is the natural progression. As for AM's future? I get tired of people trying to convince me that AM signals haven't been degraded by technological changes over the past 20 years. Add to that the fact that carmakers put over 99 percent of their "AM/FM radio" budget into the FM tuner, and it's no wonder why I can't get the 50kw blowtorch in my town clearly.....DURING THE DAY! ???
