The list of failed news/talk in the Charlotte area
WSOC 930am
WAYS 610am
WCNT 1480am
WXNC 1060am
WDYT 1220am
Did I leave anyone out?
It would be interesting if a Charlotte FM would try like 92.7 or 106.1 but this is not a great market for AM signals. The ground conductivity is not good and interference from computers and other digital devices can make receiving AM stations very difficult.
My advice to any station that is making money with an established format....keep it and just think of ways to make it better!

What makes it sound like that?fortmill said:
1480 failed with news/talk twice! Remember WTLT?Mike Sheridan said:
Preemptive strike then?w00t said:
I wonder if it will work? Maybe that post will steel the resolve of 1190's owners and managers to create the singular-greatest news/talk station that Charlotte has ever experienced, which will be discussed on this board for years to come, and will please fortmill with its schedule of offerings, signal, location, and public service? Not that the format change idea is anything but alarmism at this point. [I guess at least he didn't say "oh no not another black station" or "not another religious station" which I saw on an Alaska board].

Yes I do remember WTLT wow what a horrible signal for 5KW. I've heard better 250 watters although not lately. What a dog station maybe that's why Disney named it Goofy (WGFY).
With WIXE doing about $50,000 a month plus in revenue as a Union County local station, I don't think Charlotte offers an greener pastures. My guess is other than WBT and WRHI, WIXE may be one of the top billing AMs in the greater Charlotte area? Archie Morgan who owns WIXE is a big believer in transmitting power.fortmill said:
So, w00t, did I say that? Otherwise, I wonder how you could make such a statement. The fact is, almost all conservative talkers make their points on the shoulders of some minority group or another, rather than on the basis of emphirical information. Actually, many conservative positions can be defended logically, but that apparently doesn't make for popular radio.w00t said:
Outside of Rush, WBT is not that right wing. I swear, liberal lefties love to throw around the "hate" word whenever Rush is involved. Anytime WBT is brought up, you love to drop the "hate" line. I listen often and don't hear any hate speech.
Back on topic, WIXE is pretty popular down there. Too bad they never got their hands on 102.3 fm. Could they buy the 98.5 translator in Hemby Bridge, move it and boost the juice up to 250 watts? That would be ideal.

Sooooo.....What makes it sound like that?quadraphonic said:
Are you assuming something that isn't there?
What a downer....fortmill said:

Listen, I'm not here to debate politics. We don't agree. Just like millions of righties and lefties don't. As a matter of fact, I think it's against forum rules to discuss politics. However, exactly what station would you be referring too when you say "Not 'another' right wing......" WBT is obviously what you are referring too. WBCN is just plain irrelevant. Maybe WIXE will become bleeding heart radio. Then you'll be happy. Call up Stephen King, maybe he's interested in buying it/
You're quite the detective, aren't you? But like many right-wing commentators, you've taken my remark out of context. As a matter of fact, KICY and KNOM are not all gospel, all the time, as another contributor pointed out. But even though I'm Christian and enjoy gospel music, I would consider it a shame if the only 2 radio stations available for hundreds of miles had exactly the same format.quadraphonic said:
Nah, not a detective. Just noticing sour trends when you disagree with stuff, like someone else mentioned. I remembered how you got shot down back then, and it stood out like a sore thumb, so it wasn't hard to find. The Alaska board isn't wildly active.fortmill said:
Really, dude, your comments about "what a downer" came out of the blue. They had no context.
That's why the next reply on that thread said they were glad you were far from Nome.
In the same way, your comments about the future direction of WIXE have no context either, because you can't describe what makes you think they are going for that, except to sound all sour about the possibility. Too bad you're assuming again, which didn't work out for your side before.
NTTAWWT except you sound pretty sour when things aren't going your way. No 'fense. Maybe more gospel music would be good....
