96.1 used to be an allocation in wilmington, shame it can't be brought back unless SOX moves or powers down.
Cumulus could move it to Wilmington, if they wanted to reach a larger audience and some of Philly... But most don't blow up stations as large as SOX to do that.
I did a talk show on WSUX in Seaford, Delaware in the early 70's. Where are they now?

Looks to be off-air.

They're talking about WSUX not WSOX, but 96.1 in Wilmington would have problems with at least some of 96.1 in Atlantic City, 95.9 in Bethany Beach, and 95.7/96.5 in Philly. Don't have time to do the math right now, but there are reasons why 96.1 is where it is.

I'm aware of the allocation being completely unusable now.

Right, but I'm saying that even if you take away or move WSOX, it's still unusable.
WSOX is not the only obstacle in the way of restoring a deleted 96.1 allocation to Wilmington. All of the usual credible sources have already weighed in on the subject. I'm not convinced that WSOX would be less valuable than a 96.1A in Wilmington regardless. Maybe a more blunt approach would be better:
As Bones might have said on an old Star Trek episode, "He's dead, Jim!"
Or to paraphrase the old Monty Python Dead Parrot sketch: That allocation "is deceased; passed on; it has joined the choir immortal, it ceases to be, it is an ex-allocation, if it hadn't been revived on a message board, it would be pushing up the daisies."
It is the Bernie in "Weekend at Bernie's".
It is "The Night of the Living Dead" without the "Living" part.
It is the non-living embodiment of the second part of the New Hampshire state motto "Live Free or Die".
I know what you're saying, what if WTTH moved too...

I agree that the thread got off track. Most of us who contributed, including myself, were not responsible for that. It is clear where it started down the wrong road.
For my part: I explained what happened to WSUX (it moved from 98.3 to 98.5 and became WGBG, or maybe in the reverse order) and I tried to point out that the Delaware 96.1 thing had been done to death. The latter post appears to cause the unintended effect of stifling all conversation, including on-topic conversations about 98.3 WSUX. Can't explain why that happened.
I decided to read this thread in the first place because I remembered this station as a small top-40 outlet on the way to the Delmarva beaches back in the 80s. If there are more stories, or explanations of how the station ceased to be, it would be interesting to hear. I had not heard anyone discuss WSUX in a long, long time.

I'm very sorry - I was up in Scranton for a long portion of my life, I had heard of WSOX and never WSUX - thought you were referring to "sux" as being a play on words for "sucks". In otherwords insulting SOX as a station. WSOD on 96.1 has been a frequency I had known for ten years.

Viper: the thread was "hijacked" because it had no where else to go.

The thread ended up where it ended up, things are not always as anticipated.

I worked all-nights for 8 months at WSUX in 1977. Great station in its day. Big Al hired me. He and Bill Crisp did a super job running the station. I saved two unscoped airchecks of an hour each. I sound dreadful, but the format is very entertaining.
Bob can you post them on youtube or contact me and I will put it on my stevations channel on youtube
