WLAR 1450 in Athens is now oldies! Now has FM Translator to boot!

WLAR 1450 in Athens is now 60's, 70's and 80's oldies. Nice sounding format and good music selection. There is also a nice relocated FM translator with the call sign WLNT 94.9 in nice Stereo to go with the new format. Thanks, Randy. Love the new stations.
 
WLNT-FM is a real Class D. It has no relationship with WLAR-AM 1450 in Athens in ownership or management. The 94.9 translator has a different call sign. I posted the wrong call sign for the translator. Sorry for the call sign error.
 
WLNT is a LPFM located in Loudon. They also have a translator located in Lenoir City at 107.1, Randy Sliger who owns WJSQ/WLAR in Athens and WYGO in Madisonville has a lease agreement to use the 94.9 translator in Athens.
 
Which is correct. That translator is also very fine sounding. And has very fine range for it's power. Received it to Philadelphia before it faded on the last roadtrip.
 
Now if we could just talk Horne into moving True Oldies Channel (or 60s-80s hits) from puny 98.3 to 105.3 and put "I-105" out of its super-niche misery. ;)
 
I think if Horne will put True Oldies Channel also on 105.3, he will gain ratings points for oldies starved listeners in the area. The '60's-80's format would also be a good alternative.
 
I agree. As I said awhile back, I 105 is a complete waste of that signal. Anything more mainstream would garner better ratings. I think True Oldies Channel would be a very obvious move (considering the market has no classic hits station). Or, heck, take 105.3 back to 80s oldies like they did about 10 years ago as "Max105-3". They had higher numbers with that format than anything else they've done. They could even dig up the old imaging & use it.
 
I think 105.3 could garner bigger ratings by playing polka than what they're playing now :D
