A "source" says: Rick Peters was out this weekend with "The Moneyman" and overheard 107.9 was changing to Classic Rock to corner the market on all rock in Montgomery. As of April 1. How about it Greg Budell? You in on that? No details on 96.1 but from what we hear, its a done deal on 107.9 since ratings are stuck. Maybe Mark Montiell going to cumulus helped push them over the edge. What hear you? Makes sense tho. Just Greg's afternoon show.

I don't see it, personally. But, I've been wrong before. ;D

Crazier things have happened, though I can't imagine the talk format on 107.9 'reeling' that much. With that said..."107-9 The Gump" really rolls off the tongue well.

Being the only FM talker in the market should put it in a decent position.

I take exception to that.
I triple-dog-dare you to say '107-9 the Gump' ten times fast, and then try to tell me it doesn't get easier each time! ;D
How come Bluewater apparantly has NOT put a new transmitter on 1170 to replace the tin can sound of the present rig?
This was promised on this board last year by "Rick Peters".

Maybe Edge does not know "crap" about Bluewater's finances but that company went bankrupt in 2010. The same company paid almost 12 million for the stations, and they are now worth around 4 million in today's radio marketplace. This is true not only for these stations, but also for most broadcast stations in general. It is rough going in radio these days.
In 2011 the big biller WBAM lost 31% of it's audience from last survey period Persons 25-54 6AM-12M. Bluewater is the third ranked cluster in Montgomery. The WBAM loss may hurt billings at this critical time in rebuilding Bluewater.
Putting 200K into HD radio is a waste of money...no one is buying HD radio, except in some new cars. Money would be better spend (if Bluewater has 200K cash) on air talent and promotions.
Edge, to see past Bluewater performance, go to FCC.Gov, select AM query, and search WACV.
filed applications and you can find a look at the expenses and projections filed with the court as an attachment to the filings.
You will see details of the bankrupcy, and also see the Bluewater forward looking billing projections. That way you can learn more about the finances of Bluewater.
