WFAS Stunting?

DToTheJ

DToTheJ

It's 3 PM and I am hearing 103.9 FM playing Christmas music, Ronettes "Winter Wonderland" into Debbie Gibson "Sleigh Ride." Not sure if it's due to the hot temps or it's a precursor to a flip.
 
Look at the streaming player, it says Sleigh Ride for one of the songs, but afterwards, normal songs. Not a stunt, I think. Now playing "Crazy In Love", and R&B, and sometimes-AC song, so normal so far.
 
Wait a second, song streaming info is not going to work, as "Bust A Move" at 4:30 was the last song played on the Liquid stream works. IHeartRadio stream appears to be not working, strange. Also, all the songs FAS-FM is playing is Dance/R&B/Hip-Hop oriented! Maybe flip?
 
As of 5:10, it seems all normal except no IHeartRadio stream, and no info for streaming on Liquid Compass, and wfasfm.com. Now it sounds more AC with some 80's songs.
 
Now they are playing Party Rock Anthem, normal AC mix. No change till Monday, because it is weird to stunt/change formats on a weekend with less people listening. Also, their streaming info on Liquid Compass is now working.
 
"The Hartman" did an extended "Party Hits" show on Saturday 7/6 (normally runs 5-8pm ET; it ran from 3-8pm ET on 7/6).
He normally plays more upbeat, somewhat out-of-format songs. The show used to run on Saturday evenings, but has been replaced by Kid Kelly's Backtrax USA - WFAS runs both the 1980s + 1990s shows back to back from 8pm-midnight.

No stunting here - just regular programming. 

Also: WFAS uses streamtheworld as their streaming provider, not Liquid Compass. About a year ago, WFAS (along with other Cumulus stations) changed from their in-house Cumulus streaming to streamtheworld in order to gain access onto the iHeart radio platform.
