Oof... the playlist as of 11:50 p.m., "Separate Ways", "Bye Bye Bye", "See You Again" and now "End of the Road". Dang. This might be it. Stay tuned, folks.
Itll be The End by The Doors 😁😁😁 😂😂🤣🤣
Signals cleaning up for me here in the coal regions!! Hoping it hangs in for another 10 minutes. Usually it comes in decent… there would be tropo right now… figures.
And….. wait, lol theyre ****ing with us. I thought for sure it was over after Closing Time….. one last TOTH ID! Maybe not.
Wow... if that set was on purpose, they missed a golden opportunity to go out.
WJBR is still living.
There's no way that entire 11pm hour was a coincidence. It was (arguably) all flip songs! They clearly weren't told what time the plug was being pulled, but it certainly seems that whoever put the log together figured midnight was a pretty likely time.

WBEN-HD2 and WJBR-FM were running separate logs. Basically WBEN-HD2 sounded like they already launched the “new” JBR from whatever computer feeds it, while 99.5 was still running automation to fill from the Delaware studios until the new owners take over.
The Air Staff at WJBR is ticked off this morning. WJBR has such a great following I would have moved 99.5 to 95.7 MIX 95.7 WJBR Philadelphia - Wilmington .
This has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread. Why would they blow up BEN-FM, which is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing in the cluster--and replace it with a station to try (and fail) to compete with B101.1?
Then you would have been incredibly foolish.
The pitch to management: "Hey remember Now 97.5? Let's do that again, only this time pretend we're aiming it at Wilmington from here in Bala Cynwyd. What could possibly go wrong?"
Management: "You're fired."
Tropo brought them into central NJ this morning strong enough to decode the HD signal and show the Mix 99.5 logo on my car radio. I also noticed the HD and analog audio are out of synch by about a half-second, and they're pitching up their music. HD2 is Spanish programming, displayed simply as "hd2 artist" and "hd2 title" [sic] on my radio.
“Mix” was a failure before “Ben” arrived. What makes you think it will be different nearly two decades later?
Oooph. 99.5 playing a liner still promoting Deanna and Justin in the morning.
I get it, it’s just running whatever until the new owners take over…
