Is 91.7, south of Indpls. doing oldies now?
If so hopefully it will do well !
I wonder why Sarkes Tarzian don't try to get another station to go with WTTS...
Sarkes Tarzian has 2 stations around FT Wayne, even though WKLU could not cover Bloomington. WTTS with a station in Indpls. might get bigger benefits with them.
Sarkes Tarzian may left WKLU like it was or tried to adjust it some, the owner that sold WKLU said it was hard to compete being a stand alone station, when other companies have more stations.
This makes me wonder, I would think WTTS as a single station may have hard times over a company with a cluster of stations also.

Sarkes-Tarzian has owned WTTS for ages. If they have any debt service on the station at all it is minimal. The debt service on KLU had to be burdensome. Oasis not only bought the frequency, he moved the studios to Knue Road and put up a new tower to better cover the Indy metro. Not an inexpensive proposition these days.

debt aside(i'll buy the argument for ST)... as far as i can tell they're not winning at least in Indy, if you're them, why do it?ten_four said:Sarkes-Tarzian has owned WTTS for ages.

Yes it is...it's a translator for 89.1/Wilkinson, so Franklin, Edinburgh & Columbus now have access to the True Oldies Channel. Wonder who's the farthest away that can hear 91.7?signalid said:Is 91.7, south of Indpls. doing oldies now?

The reason I think no one really wants to do oldies is because they want to be the number 1 rated station or the cluster wants to see if they can bring down the ratings on the #1 station owned by another cluster. So the rock station will no longer be #1, then the station that is 2nd becomes first.
Maybe this is what people can't figure out what I think is happening.
Example lets say WTTS decides to go oldies (which they will not try oldies because there happy with what there doing). Lets say WTTS does oldies and they was to have some luck, and become the #1 station in Indpls, I all most bet another cluster would try to take there ratings down so 1 of the stations owned by this cluster can have 1 of instead of #2 or #3.
I remember when WKDF was a rock station for several years, then it became country, which at the time WSIX may been #1 station, maybe they wanted to see if they could knock the #1 station off number 1.
Maybe we don't have enough companies rating each station, would make it harder for a station to be number 1 and stay #1 on ratings done by different companies.

Why do you think the reason Emmis took WLHK country for. To try to take down WFMS a few and also to prevent that at the time long rumoured flip of WTPI to country at the time.
In the old days WFMS knew someone might go country and used The Bear to keep that from happening. With no other country a 4 to 6 share for number two is a home run when you look at other numbers.
I hear it on 74 and in Shelbyville but it is weak until you gain elevation from the river bed going South. Would like East and West reports.
The music mix has a few too many Paul Anka and Paul Davis type songs for my liking mid day but the type of thing you might hear on B 105.7. I still wonder if WENS might be better calls for this?

Is WGLD spoken for?
91.7 is a Translator for 89.1 WSMJ in Wilkinson IN which is in northwest Henry County. Last i recall the WENS Call letters are down in the evansville area, on a station owned by the people who own WJCF. i think WJCF also owns WSMJ
Yes they are. An AM in Wadesboro.[/urlhttp://www.fccinfo.c...ce=FM&tabSearchType=Appl&sAppIDNumber=1156282

They wanted call letters with the letter B last, so people would remember the station by B 105.7, maybe they should checked to see if they could got WENB.
WENS, NS stands for 97. Back before they start this meter system someone should named a station Bob FM. That way if someone listened to Bob and Tom, and they just wrote down Bob, they may got credit...

Are all OD's taken? WODE, WODS, WODZ... There are enough people in Indiana who call oldies "Oh-Deez" that an OD callsign might play well.
