WJGK No Longer Carries on 97.3 And on WGNY's HD3

I just looked up online that according to Fox Radio website that show that WJGK's "The Fox" is now on 103.1 only, you will no longer being carried on 97.3 FM. It's now being called "103.1 WJGK" instead of "97.3/103.1/107.7". These frequencies are a waste of time, but you can't relay these three frequencies, but the problem with the 97.3 repeater is that it carried 250 watts instead of 10. That is way too much and it gets covered by Cumulus "The Wolf", that is a waste. So Sunrise decided to pull the plug on these two frequencies as well as WGNY's HD3 channel. I hope Poughkeepsie is losing WJGK's repeater at 97.3, but "The Wolf" which is also at 94.3 has a terrific signal when you reach Newburgh and Beacon when it's on 94.3. "The Fox" is now on 103.1 for now. What's going to happen next? Maybe "Fox Oldies" should flip to a sports format to bring some of the "Fox Oldies" listeners to go to WBPM for its "Biggest Hits" format? I don't see any of the "Fox Oldies" station should flip to sports on 98.9 anytime soon.

Oh and besides you are wrong WJGK is still on 97.3, they are just not promoting it as 97.3/103.1 anymore. Furthermore what that has to do with your idea of WGNY , which has done quite well , switching to sports only your mind knows!

Thanks! I thought you are getting right off-topic, but that's fine. WGNY's "Fox Oldies" is doing very well on the FM side in the Spring, but I hope well see what happens in the Fall book in the coming months. I don't see WGNY going to sports, but not anytime soon.

As for 97.3, it's still on the air promoting just "The Fox" at 103.1 only instead of "97.3/103.1".
