The River 101.5/97.5 in Montgomery May Soon Be Switching Formats

R

R.D.P.

i was reading on b5's awesome web site, that The River 101.5/97.5 may be considering a format switch? Is there any truth to that. If they do switch, what format would they run with?

From what I read, they were thinking about doing Oldies and relaying the signal on 104.9 FM but Bluewater beat them to that translator and prevented that change from happening.

I hope Montgomery doesn't lose their only 24/7 local CCM station. It would be a shame for that to happen.

P.S. What's Stroh going to do with his newly acquired 107.5 FM translator move-in from Alex City, once he gets it back on in Montgomery? Inquiring minds want to know.

I figured it would be just a matter of time before that contemporary christian format was scrapped on WVRV. My family and I listened to "The River" on the way back from the beach a few months ago, and, although it's a good station, non-commercial WAY-FM already had a presence there in Montgomery for many years.

I'm not sure what info the anonymous poster on the site has, but I'm surprised that The River isn't making a go of it. I know passtheword mentioned the WAY-FM translators, but assuming River signs onto the new 107.5 translator (with its new CP putting 250w square over Montgomery), they should have them beaten big time on local presence AND signal.
 
If you understand the new translator rules, the 250w 107.5 can't be used at that power for The River - only for AM on FM fill in service.
