What are your pre-sets

[KeyTimes950]

Given some of the changes happening these days, and inspired by a similar topic in Phoenix, it seemed a good topic for Pittsburgh. Allow me to start:

AM1:

KDKA 1020 (CBS)
KQV 1410 (APR)
WMBS 590 (CBS)
WAVL 910 (ABC)
WBGG 970 (ESPN, still Fox Sports overnight)
WMNY 1360 (business, 5 a.m.-11 p.m.)

FM1:

WSHH 99.7 (a favorite of my wife)
(I can scan for 100.1 but still get WCLG-FM there)
WWSW 94.5 (a favorite when driving my sister around)
WHJB 107.1 (Westmoreland County)
(I can scan for 106.7 ... yes, I do appreciate the inspiration)
WKHB 94.1 (Mon-Yough area, for now, sounds pretty good at night)
WKFB 97.5 (Westmoreland County, eastern Allegheny)
WLSW 103.9 (yes, I like oldies)

FM2:

WORD 101.5 (family preference)
WPGB 104.7 (Fox News)
WDUQ 90.5 (NPR and I'm curious about what WYEP will do with it)
KDKA 93.7 (sports talk)
WPKV 98.3 (personal preference)
WQED 89.3 (ditto)

If I weren't so heavily into news, or family connections, I'd buy into some of those presets. AM 810 is a favorite Sundays for "Echoes of Erin" from 12:30-2 p.m. Actually, for the first time ever, I have more FM favorites than presets to put them in.

 

[cingram]

I suspect my 810 preset may go to either 540 or 660 when either or both of them adopt a new format.
Also, for what it's worth, I spend much more time with the FM2 tier of stations than I do with the FM1
group.

[Parttimer]

AM:

570 WKBN (loud and clear north of the city.. Indians play by play)
660.... curiosity factor
970 ESPN
1020 KDKA
1250 Radio Disney (have an 8-year old, but only use this if for some reason I can't get it off XM)
1410 KQV

FM1:

93.7 the Fan
96.9 BOB-FM
100.7 B Star buzz whatever they are today
102.5 DVE
104.7 (Mostly for the Pirates)
105.9 the X (only for the Pens)

FM2:

100.1 Static FM
91.3 WYEP
92.9 Q
94.5 3WS
96.1 Kiss
107.9 Y108

And like Clarke, 540 will go back on if they put an actual station on at some point

And my 10 XM presets are (don't know most of the new channel numbers):

1) ESPN Radio
2) The Spectrum (AAA)
3) Underground Garage
4) Classic Vinyl
5) Mix
6) Kiss (CHR)
7) Sirius Hits 1
8) XM 20 on 20 (CHR) (for the record I did not insert the smiley face, I typed #8.
9) Mad Dog Radio (Sports talk)
10) Radio Disney

5-8 and #10 are for the wife and kids....

SiriusXM just shuffled their channel numbers, so for the most part my presets are wrong!

My Cruze radio automatically updated the XM channels.

FM1:

97.7 - not as much a favorite of mine now the local jocks are gone for syndicated, network voicetracking
96.1 - still my favorite local station
96.9 - runner up # 2 favorite
99.7
92.9
100.7

FM2:

94.5
95.3
101.1 - for when I'm north of town
104.3
107.9
105.9

AM:

1320
620
770
590
810
1250

660 and/or 100.1 will probably replace one of the above. I also scan 103.9 and 107.1 just to see what's on them. 103.9 is now a disappointment with their full time oldies format. 107.1 still gives me a WOW effect every now and then. To our extreme south and east WQZS in Meyersdale would be locked in 24/7 just to hear the trainwreck playlist and local news.

Poor wording on my part. My channels got automatically updated too, but now I don't recognize what the channel numbers correspond to.

Waiting for the 94.1 translator of KHB to move and raise power so I can add it.
Great for commercial free music in the evenings!

[Parttimer]

There's an HD-4?

 

[dB]

There's an HD-4?

I didn't even know there was an HD-3 ;D

 

[RadioEngnr]

WLTJ was HD 3 in 2005, and WRRK in 2007, WLTJ & WRRK are the 6th and 7th radio stations in the USA to broadcast in HD-4, also if I'm not mistaken WLTJ and WRRK are the only HD4's to play music, not just a talk format

and those are my 1st bank of pre-sets on my Kenwood receiver
