WLLV-AM 1240 & WLOU-AM 1350 Sold to Davidson Media Group

[The RadioFan]

Louisville's two gospel outlets, WLLV-AM 1240 and WLOU-AM 1350, has been sold to Davidson Media Group. http://www.radioandrecords.com/Newsroom/2006_01_02/davidsonups.asp

The majority of Davidson Media Group stations target the Spanish speaking community. This may bring more Spanish programming to the Louisville airwaves.

Davidson also runs a great deal of time-brokered gospel programming as well. I'm not familiar with the stations or their current format...are they "pay for preach" now?

WLLV-AM is mostly the "pay for preach" format with very little gospel music, mainly used as fillers. WLOU-AM is mostly gospel music. They have a few paid program preachers as well, especially on the weekends and certain times during the weekday afternoon hours. It airs the national syndicated talk show, "The Bev Smith Show," weeknights 7:00-10:00. Starting at 10pm Monday-Saturday and 8pm Sunday nights, WLLV-AM and WLOU-AM both simulcast each other with gospel music from the America Urban Radio Network until 6am the next morning. I wouldn't be surprise if Davidson replaces AURN's gospel music with Spanish programming during the overnight hours on WLLV. Last year, WLLV use to air foreign language programming on Saturday nights for a couple hours.

Davidson Media can bun in (BLEEP) hell.

While woking for them, a great CE passed away fom a major heart attack after rebuilding a station for them.

Burn Davidson, burn...
