WLKT 104.5 The Cat streaming?

icycool7227 · Jul 26, 2007

I know how to tweak the Clear Channel station streaming urls and when I try WLKT 104.5 The Cat in Lexington, it connects but it's not the Cat. Instead I'm hearing Bob Marley songs. I want to listen to the Cat very, VERY badly! Does anyone know when they are really going to start streaming or is this a testing mode they are doing? Why am I hearing Bob Marley songs? Here is the url:

i dont think the cat is streaming yet. You can put the beginning part of any clear channel station on a streaming page and get a streaming page for that said station. you can do it for wkrd in louisiville under the WXXA.com after the www. on that

you sneaky, sneaky little boy - you found our fantasy station.... and JUST for you, we're switching the format for the weekend - no more bob marley - we're all smoked out.... now it's onto ALL VIKING DEATH METAL, ALL THE TIME!!! Good times and great Norsemen!! enjoy, my children, enjoy. (and for the curious, the kat isn't REALLY going live online for another week or so... probably by next friday.)

Wow that reminds me of the stunting done before the Kat signed on in the mid 90s. Monty Python, Wierd Al, and I forget what else.

It is now streaming!! Yay! I listened over 3 hours today. It must have started yesterday as I discovered it last night. Now if only WCDA CD 106-3, WMXL Mix 94.5, WXZZ Z-Rock 103, WBTF 107.9 The Beat, WLTO Hot 102.5, and WGKS 96.9 Kiss FM in that market could stream. Oh well, if not, then I'm planning on a horse ranching trip there anyways in the future sometime. I'm glad this happened sooner than this Friday!

if i remember WKQQ was the 3rd streamer out of the 4 cc-lexington streamers thus far behind WLAP and WBUL and before WLKT. the only ones left not streaming are WMKJ and WMXL

Don't forget about 1580 AM...they are also owned by Clear Channel and haven't started streaming yet either. Actually... I wonder if they ever will - its a spanish station. Oh, about WKQQ, they have increased their transmitter power or something b/c I live like a mile (literally) from the xmtr site (holds the xmtrs for WMXL, WKQQ, and WLAP) and a few weeks ago they started bleeding over WAOL 99.5 FM and WCYO 100.7 FM and they are both like unlistenable on all of my radios now because of the interference! I cant stand it, I like 100.7 The Coyote - they play good music. I could always listen to 99.5 and 100.7 before... without any static or interference at all!

Michael Jordan, Operations Manager Clear Channel Lexington, tells me via email that they are not
planning on streaming 1580 this year. He did not rule out 1580 being streamed next year.

What are Xmtrs? I wonder why WMXL hasn't been streaming again. Hmmm....

KYradioJake · Aug 20, 2007

Sorry, xmtr(s) means the transmitter(s). I should have spelled it out in the first place

Think they are installing new transmitters, and digital...although I doubt this would be a problem. If you think there is a problem, call the CE out there...but the guy is very, very good, I would not expect any of his stations to be out of tolerance.

KYradioJake · Aug 23, 2007

Yeah, its weird. All of the sudden this happens and is still that way! I don't know what the problem is besides what you said about them installing new digital transmitters. I might try to email the guy that deals with that kind of stuff.
