I guarentee they didnt pay $16 for a not covering the entire market by day and certainly not doing it at night AM.. id bet that $16 million came with an FM. $16 mil for WTMR would be beyond absurd even at the height of station values

Beasley purchased WTMR as an AM only Station with no FM. There used to be a WKDN AM and FM My Father purchased WKDN AM now WTMR in 1968 and Family Radio purchased WKDN FM now WKVP in 1968.
Well, that answers my question about Christmas music.
It seems there might be a bit of an axe to grind when focused on one little AM station and extrapolating that?
Did they do away with the jingles? I don't know why, but I have always liked their jingles.
EDIT: So I just heard the jingle; just without the "Mix" or "99.5."

It's a shame that people don't understand that if they have HD in their car (whether they know it or not), this means they'll have a commercial-free alternative to "Philadelphia's Official Christmas Station."
Mix 99.5 WJBR Wilmington Makes Move To 95.7 HD2
Beasley Media Group owned Mix 99.5 WJBR Wilmington makes move to 95.7 HD2, and online with Your Mix From the 80’s to Now & Christmas Music.wjbr.com
“We saw huge audience increases in 2023 and wanted to still be there for our loyal listeners,” said station Program Director Eric Johnson. “We will continue to keep this brand, that has been loved by the community for past 66 years, going on these digital platforms. Listeners will be able to enjoy our fun, unique. feel good ‘80s to now’ mix, and during the holidays with our legendary Christmas music format!”
EDIT: So, I Just heard "At least 56 minutes of music every hour. This is wjbr.com!" Are they actually running ads on this thing?
The Jingles are Reelworld one AC Logo D
One | Jingles and more delivered monthly
A massive library of custom jingles, music beds, imaging workparts, song intros, sonic logos and vocal elements plus monthly updates to keep your station brand sounding current and musically on-trend.
If they can scrape some loose change off digital ads, sure, why not. Obviously not much, but leave the door open to make a buck here and there.
So, it's a side channel as well as a side hustle. Well, if they're gonna be selling ads, I sure hope this version of 95.7 HD2 gets updated a helluva lot more frequently than the last format!
I wonder how they'll appeal to advertisers. I just can't imagine WBEN-HD2 showing up in Wilmington's ratings.
that would be shocking if they did. But hey, there’s people streaming the steaming pile of garbage that is WPHT, so who knows.
Just Julius.
What ever happened to that mogul Pat Delsi, your dads Camden competition, who tried many times to ressurect 1310 from the little giant rocks again to progressive with RJ and Giant Gene to top 40 to Oldies shame nothing worked out for him.......
1310? You mean what was at one point AC WSSJ?
WCAM/WSSJ
They can pray all they want. I’m happy and healthy and my personal life is none of their business… I’m not climbing in bed with them, why do they want to climb in mine?
Funny side story, my therapist is evangelical. It was fun talking to him about my gay divorce. In all seriousness, he’s a great therapist, I’m glad I didn’t judge him based on his religious beliefs.
Pat Delsi passed away
I’d like to see WLEV file an informal objection. W264BH could be interfering with WLEV if the translator is non directional when it should be directional. Or maybe I should file an informal objection myself. I’m 3 for 3 in getting FCC action on the informal objections I filed myself or helped someone file.
