Upcoming New Rock Station in Myrtle Beach

A

There supposedly is a new rock station starting up in Myrtle Beach. Is it a flip of another station or completely new? Who's starting it/owns it? Who else is the future radio personality staff? Is this something Myrtle Beach is missing or needing, considering the other classic rock & new rock stations that are already present?
 
Rock 107.. it is a flip from Q107.1. i think it is a mix between classic and new because i was listening to it earlier and it went from 311 into Guns N Roses into BECK into Pink Floyd. so it seems alot different than what myrtle beach alreadys.. dont really know much more than that
 
Yeah, I wasn't sure what the deal was. I heard that it was a "new" station that never was & is just starting out. But I've seen different stations flipping lately, so I wasn't sure what to believe. I also heard someone from a Wilmington station was headed down to be apart of the new development. But you never know when it comes to the rumor train, what is what.
 
Had 107.1 on for a little while yesturday its a mix between new and classic rock like the other poster said. 107.1 doesn't come in that great where around the Murrells Inlet area. Hard to get on my alarm clock which gets Charleston's 96.9 The Wolf in much cleaner then this station. I would guess 107.1 can't upgrade their signal as z107.5 in Wilmington, NC wants to upgrade to 100,000 watts plus you got Magic 107.3 out of Charleston, SC. Would be great to get a couple more powerful signals in the Myrtle Beach area.
 
yeah i live near the garden city area and yesterday, it wasn't coming in that great but today it is alot better or at least so far.. i have only been listening for about an hour. i also heard on all access that Mad Max is gonna do the morning on 107.1.. wonder when he starts?
 
Let's hope they open the playlist and not sound like every other "rock" station in SC. So far, so good. I like it.
 
Here's a 20-minute sample:

The Black Crowes - Remedy
Rush - The Spirit of Radio
Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man
Stone Temple Pilots - Plush

Good stuff. In addition, their sweepers are crisply produced and aren't nearly as long as the ones on Wave 104 which seem to last forever.
 
Why is it that radio-locator.com and wikipedia both still list that 107.1 also broadcasts on translater 96.3. Im sure it is off as they needed to make way for 96.1 coming into Myrtle Beach.
 
I called the station today and found out that up until last night they had been at half power for some technical reason. Today they are back at full power & I have no problem picking it up. I agree with Boston Randy, great music and it does sound much better than Wave & KZQ.
 
What's interesting is 107.1's tower location & coverage area (per radio-loctor.com) is about the same as KZQ's was when they were on 101.7....

i think Rock107 will do well, it is just going to take time. they aren't gonna be able launch it and leave it for a year then if it isn't doing well, flip it again.. that isn't gonna work so the key is to be patience. i also think that Mad Max will help the station out because everybody knows him and IMO, he is one of the best.. i just wonder what is going to happen Monday Morning???
 
This just sounds weird.

Sometimes it's like WKZQ, which seems to have been fixed so as not to father children. I actually halfway liked some of the stuff on WKZQ.

Whereas Rock 107 mixes in Lynyrd Skynyrd and other old stuff that just sounds out of place.

Now the high energy sound would probably work if WKZQ doesn't want to do it.
