WBHT

What does every think of the job that Justin Bryant is doing at WBHT? I think he is doing a grate job with the station.

Thanks Justin!

I don't know that station. When I make the occasional visit to S/W-B, I'll listen to WKRZ and their 107.9 FM satellite when coming into PA from I-80. Plus, Kelley K used to be on a station here in the Hartford area, which helps.

...doing a grate job...

That's because he grates on us. (Just a joke!)

Reminds me of when I used to work at BHT. Trying to get people to listen to the station. Their reason for not listening: "I will not listen to 97.1 because it is not located at 98.5. 97.1 is new (13 years old) and different, and I do not like things that are new and different. Also, I cannot find the tuning knob on any of the several radios that I own. Therefore, I must listen to 98.5 all the time." (Imagine them saying this in a dull monotone, with an unexplained hole in the front of their heads.)

I was in Wilkes-Barre on April 28th. The Subway restaurant off of Public Square had WBHT-FM on as I walked in. I still checked WKRZ-FM 98.5 at that point, seeing as it's still the only station from that market I'm somewhat familiar with (I live in central Connecticut). Speaking of satellite stations and what not, does WBHT-FM 97.1 have one? You can thank WKRZ-FM for having their satellite station on 107.9 for the Stroudsburg/Delaware Water Gap area (as to why I started listening to them first). Coming into the S/W-B area for the first time in June of 2004, I really didn't know any of the stations in the market. I tuned my Sony Walkman from the "top" of the dial along I-80 westbound in New Jersey (I always start at the "top" like that if I don't know the area) and the 107.9 satellite was the first thing I heard. I then heard Kelley K, already knowing who she was from her days in Hartford (WZMX-FM 93.7) and I decided to leave it until I heard the station ID.A quick follow-up question...was the 107.9 FM satellite station ever used by another station or has it always been with WKRZ-FM 98.5?

97BHT has a satellite at 95.7, just outside of Scranton.107.9 was locally-owned WPMR, before being purchased by the folks at KRZ in the mid-90s.

WBHT has a satellite station, WBHD at 95.7 MHz. It transmits from a mountain near Scranton to provide solid coverage of Lackawanna County and points north. If you have an RDS receiver in your car that has the "Alternate Frequency" function common in Europe, your radio will switch automatically between 97.1 and 95.7 as one of the signals fades while you are driving. Both stations will also display the song title and artist.
