Johnny,

That new, much shorter tower is now pumping out those classic country hits. Station came on yesterday, noon-thirty-ish.

I'm sorry to hear this. I'm going to keep listening to WAVO when I'm in the area, but this does give me an additional choice where I can hear it. I hope they don't get rid of WAVO's format.
 
not a simulcast. studio is on Church Street in Concord. Mac McCoy will take on AMD duties April 2nd. this will be a local radio station, Concord's radio station.

Oh, that's good. I was going to say this couldn't possibly work otherwise.

Now if only WAVO could do the same, but I fear WRHI won't be going anywhere.

Well, according to Mark Washburn, there's not going to be anything more than a local morning show. Unless something else is planned that he didn't know about.

I did get to try this station during the ACC Tournament and personality-wise, they'd have been better off doing what WAVO does. The DJ on Saturday morning was better but not by much; I hadn't yet changed back. "Sundown" by Gordon Lightfoot?

I am glad to have some more good country music on the radio. But I listened to WBRF when I was in that area and they do sound so good.
 
The Classic country music format sounds pretty good when broadcasted from satellite {like 550 AM in statesville}. Though, they should have not added this local morning show.

Why do you say that? Broadcast radio does not have a local station.
 
I mostly like the music and not the talk. I understand Charlotte is missing alot of local broadcasting.

Classic country is one format that was missing in this area for a long time. Hopefully it stays..

I do like music rather than talk, though the advantage of an all-local station like WBRF is DJs to tell you what you heard. I'm learning about a lot of new songs I never heard before.

But one thing I hated about the old WEGO was the morning show was just talk. They had a format similar to WAVO at one time but only after 9 in the morning.

Community service does mean a lot.

The last time I listened in the morning they had plenty of music. But then there was an interview with some town official coming up. I always hate these on my usual station but at least that means the station has a reason to exist that should attract advertisers and keep it on the air.
 
Although the lovely spouse despises the classic country music, I do have a fondness for it. But jeez, even here in Concord, the signal is dirty and fuzzy. What's up with that?

I'm finding it's clearer away from Concord than it used to be.

You ought to try WAVO. Talk about a bad signal. Power lines make it worse. But I do love that music.

Also, except for the station IDs, it appears to be a simulcast of 550. Flip back and forth, and the song is the same.

It's not like they can afford local programming other than the morning show. I seem to recall hearing WAME has the satellite format Classic Hit Country or whatever they call it now.
