WYNT move?

There's been a construction permit for the station to move to Caledonia from Upper Sandusky. That's not very far but I suppose it's to hit Marion harder after that region loses 106.9 MHz WMRN from the move-in conflubbery.
The signal has been slightly stronger here in C'Bus as of late and I wondered out loud if it happened. I didn't stick around and listen for a TOH ID to verify a change in the city of license. I'm not really in their demo.
If it's true, I will be able to hear Buckeye Roundtable better though (1460 kHz is sometimes hard to hear on night-pattern in my neck of the woods).

They still say Upper Sandusky at the top of the hour. But it has been at least five days with the signal coming in the Hillard area.
 
I checked it out on my way home from work in northern Dublin and nothing but static on 95.9. Car radio mind you but I would think I could get something more than just static.
 
I doubt that you will see any changes here in Columbus, The Move of 95.9 is to off set WMRN leaving Marion, I would expect that Buckeye Country will mover over to 95.9 when 106.9 leaves and heads to Dublin.

I would suspect the format to move to WYNT after 106.9 moves to Columbus would be the Country format... I could easly see WYNT taking WMRN-FM's calls and format.

I totally agree with this. WMRN calls are way more appropriate than WYNT. Country listeners are the most loyal listeners out there. Move their station away and they will go nuts. Move them down the dial and the will move with it.

I thought WSRW-FM 106.7 in Hillsboro was moving to Dublin? 106.9 couldn't move there, too.

We may need John Madden's chalkboard, but I'll try to lay it out without visual aids...

Currently there are the following FM allotments: 106.7/Class B/Hillsboro (WSRW) and 106.9/(technically a Class B, but because of short spacing with Canton, operates more or less with the facilities of a B-1)/Marion (WMRN).

If all goes accorging to Plan, those two allotments will disappear and in their place will be three new allotments: 106.5/Class A/Chillicothe (for which WSRW has applied).... 106.7/Class B-1/Dublin (for which WMRN has applied, but will undoubtedly become something else).... 106.7/Class A/West Portsmouth (which will be a new facility).

In a parallel move, the Class A allotment for 95.9 (currently occupied by WYNT) will move from Upper Sandusky to Caledonia, putting a city-grade signal over Marion. Speculation is that the intellectual property of WMRN (currently on 196.9) will migrate to 95.9 and WYNT will cease to exist.
 
Marion's 106.9 will move to 106.7 and to Dublin. WSRW in Hillsboro moves to 106.5, downgrades in power, and moves to Chillicothe.
