W-BACH

A totally, hands-down, most classy sign-off from Scott Hooper and Nassau. And as a retired radio geezer, I found the language in the sign-off announcement followed by the National Anthem to be endearingly retro.

Here's wishing the best to WBACH online and on the air at 106.9 (and 107.7, if the format flip rumors aren't true)... and to the new owners of 104.7 in Kennebunkport.

This is the way American broadcast media works. And aside from a few glitches and bumps here and there, it works pretty damn well!

Whatever the permanent format is, they have to come to grips with the fact that 104.7 is at best a weak rimshot into Portland.

They have a pretty listenable signal in the car.I traveled from downtown Portland to Yarmouth to Gray today and never had a problem.At home though the station isn't listenable.Anyone familiar with WXEX fm 92.1 in Sanford,the station wasn't listenable about 15 miles away when it was WPHX.Now I can pick them right into South Portland and also in North Windham.According to the FCC no changes were made.So Hot 104.7 should find the engineer that got 92.1 that big improvement.Just another 5 miles and it would probobly be a big help to get the signal into Portland.
 
Whatever became of these guys ???
We notice their AM in the Kansas Citys is gone.

The Kansas City station is owned by Entercom, which dropped classical a year or so ago in favor of (business talk? I forget).

WCN is still around, and still offers its classical format for syndication. It is delivered via the Internet using a method I developed that does not require lossy data compression. If you know of a station interested in trying the format, I'll be happy to put them in touch with WCN's managing partner, Greg Bone.

Wish I did, but I am just a broadcasting grad who worked at/for a few stations, including Beethoven.com when they were in Miami, before settling into a life of driving a taxi and exposes (subjects?) his passengers to the greatest hits of the last few centuries.

There is a public notice in today's (Monday Sept.17) Bangor Daily News of the WBQI 107.7 sale to Blueberry. A copy is available for inspection at their Ellsworth studio.
