WCTC changes their name to.... WCTC!

Exactly as speculated in this forum upon the departure of Jay Sorenson, 1450 WCTC is now downplaying their use of the name "Central Jersey 1450". That awkward name was introduced by Jay during his brief stint as WCTC's Assistant Program Director.

Currently, the pre-recorded liners still refer to "Central Jersey 1450", but during the newscasts, references to "Central Jersey 1450, WCTC News" have been recently changed to simply "WCTC News", which saves a few syllables and sounds much more concise and authoritative on the air, given the station's nearly six-decade heritage as WCTC.

Now that WCTC seems to be back on track, hopefully they'll soon make another wise decision by bringing back live, local programming to the afternoon time slot -- currently occupied by a syndicated, third-rate Michael Savage wannabe, which I doubt (m)any WCTC devotees care to listen to.

Kind of sad that this is the BIGGEST NEWS worth mentioning about a once decent radio station. Apparently that was the *one* remaining mark that "Mr. Sorensen" (that was being nice so my post doesn't get deleted) left behind and I cannot blame them at all for wanting to move on. They need to face the fact that they cannot compete with a BIG TIME FM Talk Station on the AM Band with a 1K signal. Therefore, their product needs to be unique, NOT A COMPUTER-RUN Satellite-Based one. Syndicated programming is certainly fine in my book, but NOT Mid-days and afternoons on a station that thrives on "locality!"

Just someone in the Biz' opinion...
