WPFB AM going Classic Country

I kind of saw this coming. Their lineup was pretty bad, especially with them sharing Bill O'Reilly with 96.5 and Joey Reynolds with WSAI. I guess I'll miss the I-Man a little, but Howard Stern is way better anyway. The only thing I'm bummed about is that whenever I felt like listening to Joey Reynolds, I could pick up WPFB better than WSAI.

Now conservatives only have 55KRC for their conservative talk fix. WBOB and WPFB went bye-bye. I guess I shouldn't be gloating, since the Revolution was taken away from me a few weeks ago.
 
Here in the Dayton area WBZI 1500 in Xenia has classic country, as do sister stations WKFI 1090 in Wilmington and WEDI 1130 in Eaton. All three broadcast the exact same thing are owned by Town and Country Broadcasting, a local outfit unlike, say, Clear Channel.

At least that's a step up for WPFB. Unfortunately it's not the standards format I enjoyed up until 2002.
 
This explains why they refused to carry Imus properly. I think the format can work in this market and wish them the best.

I hope it's automated though, because they've proven they don't have the ability, or the interest, in doing live radio.

Maybe their FM is great, I don't know. Man that AM was bad though.
 
I am a bit surprised they do not attempt some sort of classic country on the FM seeing that Dayton and Cincy have plenty playing current country music.....105.1, 97.3 and a couple other rimshots in Cincy (106.5, 99.3).....99.1 and 101.7 in Dayton. Does Hank FM in Indy play classic, or are they a mix?
 
Not a bad move for them..plus they'll have a young and classic country package to sell to at least Middletown advertisers. Anyone know if it'll be locally put together or satellite?
 
and the personnel at WPFB STILL can't time a stopset. Do they not know how to read format clocks?

They were late going into sets, interrupting songs. They were late coming OUT of sets, interrupting songs.

Today was the first day, so I'll cut them a LITTLE bit of slack. Still...program the automation properly and it will sound fine. This is not rocket science. I think I'll listen again tomorrow just to see what happens.

It's truly amazing that the FCC grants a license to this company and yet we all gripe about CC.
