Makes sense. I always wondered why they were on WICC when the WFAN signal was so strong into Fairfield and New Haven County. I haven't been back to CT since late '21.

Will news talk really get better ratings?

It has only to improve on a sub-1.0 share. The old format was sinking like a rock. Or should I say like rock itself?

I'm surprised there's any demand for music on terrestrial radio these days with so much targeted streaming content available.

News/talk might be a better option but unfortunately WICC's lineup isn't very compelling. I applaud them for trying to keep it local but good local talent may not be easy to find.

Guess they may have found one.

News and talk are different skills but we'll see.

WICC & 95.9 are the "Voice Of Connecticut" while Full Power Radio's WDRC/1360 (& FM102.9HD-3, 103.3FM) 610/104.5-WSNG & 1470/WMMW are the "Talk Of Connecticut" - no conflict of interest there!

With Expanded Reach, WICC Is Now ‘The Voice Of Connecticut.’

Wonder if it will be non-political talk? Considering Bridgette Quinn comes from WCBS and WINS, it might be news-oriented but not with a political leaning.

Interesting too that there will be three female hosts in a row from 5am to 2pm. Very rare for a talk format.
