I drove up the NJ Turnpike last week and saw no tower work going on at the WOR site, which makes sense as there is no construction permit issued yet.
Not that I am slighting you or HD Radio, but WHO would this ultimately appeal to short of people who look at these kinds of boards while passing the time at work or while living at home with their parents and nothing better to do around the clock?? Don't get me wrong, having different options on the dial is a GREAT thing but ONLY if you know IT'S THERE to begin with...
It seems to me that NASH FM's website (nashfm947.radio.com) has a brand new look as of Thursday night.
Very observant! They switched over to the Entercom radio.com platform as well as their web design.
Haha! It should look horrible. It's from Cumulus. Sad that Entercom has to take that logo. It looks like a construction company logo. The various billboards that I have seen are quite interesting. You cannot tell what the hell it is or what channel to dial into to listen. And in a city with all the tourists in Nashville, you HAVE to get them to listen and go to the advertisers. I guess it really does not matter. Do you have to advertise your radio station in 2019? (wait for it...)

I agree with Classic Country, but hits from 1956 to 1976, which is real country, not the so called phony Classic Country 1995 to 2015 which most Classic Country stations play and use the term Classic Country...
The late '70s through mid '90s were an exciting period for country music -- the outlaw movement, Urban Cowboy, the new traditionalists, the folkie crossovers, the hat acts. Waylon Jennings, Randy Travis and Rosanne Cash would have more appeal today to more people still alive than Ernest Tubb, Porter Waggoner and Kitty Wells would. The problem in New York City, though, is that the market didn't even have a country station during a good chunk of that period, and WHN played such a watered-down version of country music duing the years it was on that New Yorkers never got to hear many of the more groundbreaking songs.

Ernest Tubb, Porter Waggoner and Kitty Wells, you sure know your classics, you think WHN was bad, you should of grew up with WRCP here in Philly in the 60s 70s. A daytimer and a weak FM Mono simulcast, which played more pop mainstream then traditional country.
TTBOMK the first country station in NYC was WJRZ in Hackensack NJ, a station that became WWDJ and is now WNYM. They began the country format in 1965. Fans of Buck Owens will remember his groundbreaking 1966 album at Carnegie Hall. The liner notes were written by Lee Arnold then of WJRZ. Lee was later hired by WHN in 1973. While I agree that WHN played a lot of the mushier country pop, such as Olivia Newton-John and Kenny Rogers, they also played a lot of outlaw country.
One small point that I'd add is that the country format wasn't very established prior to this time. Even WSM the station of the Grand Ole Opry was mainly an MOR station by day, and country at night. A lot of the groundbreaking country music in the 50s and 60s got played on pop stations. That included Buck, Johnny Cash, and Roger Miller. All three got airplay at WABC when it was a Top 40 station.
Indeed, Big A, WJRZ was quite the station. I'm a rock and roll punk ... Beach Boys, 3DN, Chiffons, Stones ... who listened exclusively to WJRZ for the better part of a year. They at times came off as a Top 40 station, jingles and all, only they played cowboy records. Ed Nielson (sp?) ws the morning man, who sounded like he easily could've fit on WMCA or even the later WCBS-FM. As a result of my patronage, I did not hear the song 'Windy' until it was fading off the pop charts. To this day, to me, 'Windy' sounds sort of new.
WJRZ did not have a top 97 survey. They had a genuine Top 100! I'd try to fill in all the songs for that week on graph paper -- five boxes per inch sized -- but always fell short.
I would love to find a spool or an mP3 full of WJRZ's jingles (done to the tune 'I'm An Old Cowhand)'.

There must be some here who remember when 104.5 in Philly was -- no foolin -- 'Beautiful Country' ? I forget the letters they used to ID .....

I would say 50s to 1995. There was still allot of good country between 1976-1995, particularly from 76 to 85.
Did Entercom registered some domains for Nash FM 94.7's new name this week?
I could guess that NASH FM might become either 94.7 the Wolf, Kissin 94.7, New Country 94.7 or even Buzzin @ 94.7 in the summer of 2019. We'll see what happens next?
Or even Froggy 94.7
