WIBN & WASK

:D Dude, now that is hitting way below the belt!!!!!! :mad: For lunch today (smacking your lips) at Battleground Elementary School. Grilled cheese with fires, applesauce and milk! ::) Live radio at it's best!!!! :eek:
Dudes and dudettes training for their next job at the drive up window. Give me a break :p
 
Well, they're both oldies (or whatever the industry decides to call 60s & 70s pop hits this week).

If you're talking about 98 Gold's playlist compared with WASK, Gold's network format recently got a face lift and is now heavily emphasizing on 70s pop as opposed to the post-Beatles era of the 60s. WASK has been doing this for several years now. I suppose that's why they now sound the same.
 
Well, one station has talented professional personalities. That are loved by their listeners. The other station has DJ's trying to make their last hurrah after be let go by half the other stations in the market. They spend their shifts talking to themselves casus obviously no one else is listening not even the so called station owners who obviously have even less experience then their staff. 8)

Wow that's pretty strong. So which station is which in your opinion has the pro's and which station has the unloved jocks? And what did they and the station management do to make you so bitter?
 
Am I wrong, or is Dan McKay the only local guy on WIBN? Everything else looks like network.
 
Don still works there. That answers why they sound so bad. I can't find out much more about them. Where are they located? If you are the underdog then the competition is fair game!!
 
WIBN is located in the great metropolis known as Oxford, Indiana (about 20 miles outside West Lafayette).

Dan is the only local weekday guy there.
 
Does IBN still do their weekend auction/trading post deal? Small town radio at it's finest.

BTW, haven't seen numbers for Lafayette in a long time. Are things still pretty much the same? Were the numbers embargoed for some reason. The R&R site used to post them but haven't for a few years.
 
They always wondered why they (as a B something) aren't strong in Lafayette.

Leave the "studios" and drive west till you are near Illinois and then North until you use approximately 3 gallons of gas at 23 mpg. Tower is in the middle of nowhere. Can't move.

Line of Sight to Lafayette doesn't occur.
 
WIBN originally was 6k or even less at 98.3, with studios located in a dilapated, abandonded school builing in Earl Park with broken windows (guess if the FCC ever strictly enforces City of License that's where they'd have to move back to!), before the move to Oxford.

Something had to change since WGLM flipped formats.
 
Don't bet on wibn radio showing up in the Lafayette ratings mix. I heard the old wglm radio went down hill the last year Dan was there and never got any better. :(

If I recall, WIBN was originally 3,000 watts at 98.3, which basically made it a station that served more corn stalks than people.

When did the station up the power and move to 98.1?
