WCFL was the major competitor to WLS in Chicago...and had a great signal in the parts of
Louisville we cruised in high school (68-71)...mainly the Iroquois Park area to 4th street...[repeat].
Same caliber of air talent as WLS...great imaging...
WCFL was at least as good as WLS...sometimes I thought it rocked just a little harder. Still remember Big Ron O'Brien advertising some kind of powder and saying 'if you have a donkey, you can slap some on your a**"...that was pretty risque for AM radio in the summer of '73.romer979fm said:

I think I see my buddy Jim Loupas, Chief Engineer of WCFL just under the "c" in "collectors", with the telephone cradled on his shoulder, in this pic: http://radiotimeline.com/survey4c.htm Could that be him?
I really didn't listen enough to the old AM stuff. My trouble is that that by the time I started driving in 1974, FM was the thing. It was all LRS and Hi-95 by then.
The change at 101.7 must be coming soon.101.7 is no longer mentioned during the hour on 790. It's only mentioned at the top of the hour legal ID.
Looks nothing will be changing until after Jan 31st. From mysports790.com

That would make sense. Any transfer I've ever been a part of was done at the end of the month for accounting purposes.
The FCC just approved the transfer last week:
WKRD-FM Shelbyville KY FM BALH-20111109AMW 269 A N 38° 12' 48.0" W 85° 10' 16.0" License 97 278 0.0 47
Granted App for Assignment of License for FM Station; Release Item within 100.0 kilometers of Flag Point; Licensee: Aloha Station Trust, LLC, as Trustee; Voluntary Assignment Of License, As Amended From: Aloha Station Trust, LLC To: Southern Belle, LLC FORM 314; Assignor: Aloha Station Trust, LLC; Assignee: Southern Belle, LLC; Applicant: Aloha Station Trust, LLC
A February 1 transfer seems very likely.
And what if the station continues to carry the UofL games after the transfer? Does that solve CC's problem of finding an FM for the games? CC could have cut a sweet deal to make sure the UofL simulcast continues for key sports, and the new guys get to sell it. Does that make all parties happy?
Went off the air at 2:45 this afternoon....humm. :-\
101.7 still off the air Friday night around 11:30 PM, and 790 also off the air at that time...humm. :-\Bengalsfan said:
790 is back on the air.... Same imaging... nothing's changed that I can hear.
I think that 101.7 has been turned over to the new owner. There isn't any mention of 101.7 at all on 790 now.radiotrumpet78 said:
But is there any mention of 790 on 101.7?radiofan502 said:
101.7 is still off the air.BobOnTheJob said:
My guess is that a studio/STL needs to be constructed and that's not always easy during the winter. I really doubt that the new owners are at all concerned about whether people forget about what was there before or not. Heck, they may even be aiming the FM antenna toward Frankfort so that the signal will do them the most good rather than having it optimized toward Louisville (I would if it were mine)...and that's not a 2 hour job.

Nope, especially when there are freaking tornadoes in the area!
