From Allaccess.com - todays net news:
Alternative WMAD Flips To Country
At 12 midnight today (12/23), Clear Channel Alternative WMAD (MAD RADIO 96-3)/MADISON changed formats to Country as "STAR COUNTRY 96-3". The transition went from PROPELLERHEADS "History Repeating" into JEFF BUCKLEY's "Last Goodbye" into JIMI HENDRIX "Star Spangeled Banner" then to an image promo and GRETCHEN WILSON "All Jacked Up". The new site is live at 963starcountry.com.

Sister Top 40 WZEE (Z-104) PD JON REILLY is programming the new format. He tells ALL ACCESS that he will have a new live and local airstaff in place by mid-JANUARY when the station's 10,000 songs-in-a-row, commercial free debut is completed. Send your package to him at [email protected].

You can reach out to former WMAD PD BRAD SAVAGE at [email protected] or hit his cell at (608) 345-9631, and get with former MD LESLIE SCOTT at [email protected] or ring her cell at (217) 493-8328.

2nd death of mad radio :(

Technically, it is the 3rd. I remember in the early 1990's, the old 92.1 WMAD went dark for an extended period of time. I think, at that time, there was doubt if the station would return. And, as you all know, it disappeared for a time years later after leaving the old frequency. I hate to say it, but it looks like the third time is the charm!
