Does anyone have anything on how the small stations around the Tricities market are doing? I'm not talking about the group owned AM's that are just running something from satellite or simulcasting a bigger signal. WGAT, WEMB, WBEJ and any other I may have missed. I'm just curious to see if they are doing better that the ones around Knoxville.

Upper East Tenn/Southwest Va. question.

Interesting question, Knoxbob, but is this the place to ask it? If anyone knows, they won't tell, but if they don't know, they will spill their guts. Either way, the response is worthless.
Knoxbob... what you are trying to do is often so difficult. I wish you well in your quest.
There are times when a particular station, or city, or region comes into curiosity and a quest begins: what are they doing? how is it working out?
Those of us who participate in these forums are likely to have our own prejudices and biases so we can't give you a straight answer with our coloration removed.
So the question I ask is this: What methods have worked for others when you wanted to know the status of radio in a given market? Obviously one can load up a drive there and camp out in a motel for a few days. Listen to stations. Go hang out in coffee shops and listen to what people are saying (or NOT saying) that gives you a clue about the status of radio among the rank and file. That, however, is terribly inefficient and full of its own colorations.
So. Someone share with us. Do you have an improved method for learning about the status of radio in a region.
(I, too, would like to know about radio in NE TENN/SW VA.)

For SW Virginia, are we speaking of the area along and west of I-77 between Bluefield and Hillsville? Or a smaller or larger area of SW Virginia? Just wondering...
I know when I travel to Bluefield and Wytheville I love the sound of local radio much better than what I get from corporate radio here at home from Charlotte and Greenville-Spartanburg. Maybe I'm just tired of listening to the same stations near home all the time and there's the joy I believe that exists in all of us radio lovers when traveling to hear different stations.

Wytheville, Saltville, Lebanon, Marion To Gate City. Some of the stations in that area have web sites and that is a good place to see what they are doing and how they are involved in their communities, but most don't. Some more info can be found on the FCC web site like WXMY getting a power increase to 23kw. Will it get built out and what will they gain with it other than a larger power bill.
I'll say this- WBEJ is run by much more intelligent people than WEMB is.
