WLEZ 98.1 FM

Hey all -

I've heard WLEZ 98.1 FM off and on again lately. Perhaps they are going to make another go of it.

Will it have the same format? btw, Is NWN studios still in operation? The last time I drove by it looked abandoned or maybe they haven't been mowing the grass.

I always thought 98.1 could have been reused as a translator. WJDX is one of the last stations in Jackson without one.

They could be on the air so they won't lose the license. They are required to operate at least once a year or get deleted.

Once a year ?

Once a year ?

I'm not sure what the official ffc rules are, but from what i"ve read on this site, a station must return to the air after one year even if it for just a few days or they will delete the license, unless you notify the FCC and get permission to remain silent.

I drove downtown earlier today and heard WLEZ playing Stevie Wonder songs with a minimal amount of IDs sprinkled in the mix. It sounded like the processing is there, but only one channel coming through from the automation source.

I heard it in the car playing Elton John songs. It's too weak to pick up in the house, so I don't know what they were doing after I got home.
