They're already talking about it on their Facebook website. Word does travel fast....

To charlestondxman, why separate programming night and overnight? it's your lowest ranked time period and makes the least amount of money. Sorry, but that's crazy.
The one thing they WILL do it this: if they ever have a conflict with games, they will run one on 95.5 and the other on 750. It's a great move.

Well well well, I was thinking about starting a new topic about how Atlanta should get an FM talk station for almost a week or more now, but... due to other bizarre things, got sidetracked from doing so. I guess by the looks of things I've discovered today that the new post is no longer necessary because it happened! What's even more interesting is HOW it happened! It took the demise of a rhythmic sound. In other words, the Bermuda Triangle of Traditional Rhythmic & Top 40 Radio has managed to find a way to bring something else that was necessary to the area - simply by LIVING UP TO ITS NAME!!!
So, to add to the list of all the things that happen before a traditional top 40 sound is brought in, a talk station goes to FM.
Wow!

Speaking of Facebook... If you go to the link to the Rodney Ho story and scroll down to the end where it says, "Join my Facebook fan page," it looks like there is a little bit extracurricular data in the URL. Either that, or it's a veiled attempt to promote the "Vote For The Worst" Facebook page. ;D
Random Thoughts
In two weeks CJ will wake up and realize she can lose the Urban Accent while
Murf Dawg is wondering "What it is!"
Post-mortem - 95.5 the Beat will now supplant 96.7 the Wild as the best Urban/Hip Hop station to ever air in Atlanta.
Star94 is deep in meetings trying to figure out the pluses and minuses of re-branding their station.
The Groove can't delete quick enough almost any song released before 2008.
CC is trying to figure out if Groove and El Patron our more profitable than 105.3 and 105.7 the Groove.
CC is trying to figure out the over/under on turning off the lights at 640 WGST.
My kids will no longer ask me in the car every 5 minutes to check 95.5 the Beat to see if their favorite song Airplanes(Eminem version) is on since no other station will play the Eminem version. As my son says say "Q100 is stupid, right dad, because they don't like play Eminem on this song." Yes son but for many more reasoons than that.

What a classy statement of Groove's part:
"The only thing consistent in radio is change. Station's come and go so do the people that go along with it. A heritage radio station in ATL just flipped formats and many great people are now out of work. We have ALL been there and know how tough it can be. Keep your head up, it will pass. If there's anything we can do,... please let us know. Thank you for listening to 105.7 The Groove."

Wow. No other words right now...

But then they would not qualify for single line reporting, one of the advantages of a simulcast.
I'm not an engineer, but I wonder has Cox's engineering team ever given any thought to moving the AM 750 transmitter out of the strip shopping center across from Northlake to a marshy or swampy area somewhere in the general vicinity that would be a lot more conducive for the ground conductivity that a 50K watt AM signal needs. With the right ground conductivity, WSB's daytime ground signal could easily cover a 250 - 300 mile radius much like WGN in Chicago, or WLW in Cincinnati does now. WSB's nighttime signal isn't an issue, considering that it covers 38 states and parts of Canada.

I'm really tempted to add them as followers on twitter then tell them MOVE TO L.A. or San Fransisco and they'd be in HEAVEN!

Well who knows? Maybe someday in the future, people will look back and be able to say "It's a miracle, because it was once a shameful station".
BRENT said:
Being that WSB is a 50K watt clear channel, I would think that the issue of moving the transmitter a few miles in any direction would be a lot less than moving an FM or TV transmitter, where moving a tower even a few miles can cause interference to another station on the same frequency.

So why would a non-radio geek care to seek out the Beat on HD2 (again, with no local content to speak of?)
It makes less sense than the available options online. I seriously doubt many people follow these versions of formerly favorite mainstream stations online or to HD.
