Have you noticed that at night time, Wzrr Rock 99.5 has begun throwing in songs from Pearl Jam, Nirvana, SoundGarden and groups like that? It shocked the heck out of me to flip over there one night and hearing them playing Rooster by Alice in Chains. It is cool that they are adding music from a decade ago to a classic rock station. Also, when is that aweful New Country 97.3 ever going to flip? It just crawls under my skin to be scanning my radio and hearing them bash another station. That should be against the law. Now, will WPHC, when it starts, be a southern gospel station or will it change completely? I enjoy listening to Wayne Walace and the Caravan in the afternoons. Speeking of WSGN, I can remember listening to that station as a child. Happy Friday.

Rock 99 has been playing the occasional 90s cut for years now. I'm guessing they're using the 10-year rule. If the X keeps moving in the direction of more new music, I bet we'll hear more grunge and 90s active rock on 99.5.
97.3 should've flipped a long time ago. I don't think Cox plans to do it anytime soon, though. I also have no idea what they expect to gain by bashing the Bull, which has and will continue to have considerably more listeners.
Does Crawford own any stations without some form of religious format? They can't exactly do much with the 92.5 signal that broadcasts to a bunch of cows and coal mine canaries. Maybe they'll go Spanish like WCOC-1010 has.
Most people outside Walker County probably listen on 850, which is a pretty strong AM.

Crawford does own a few stations with secular formats, one previously here in Birmingham, adult standards "Legends 1260", WLGS (now talk WYDE-AM), which now simulcasts "The Source" at 101.1.
Years ago, all of Crawford's stations were religious in nature. For a few years, though, they've been dabbling in some secular formats, mostly adult standards, oldies, and talk, but I believe they do (or used to) own some urban or urban AC stations up in Chicago. IMO, Crawford really is more of a "quasi-Christian" broadcaster these days.

You must have been under a different "rock" for a while, I've heard early 90s on ZRR for a while now, and not just at night, and it's not just WZRR either, WSKZ in Chattanooga will play 90's every now and then, still not very often as WZRR, WTAK in Huntsville as well, WVNA in the Shoals did for a while too until they recently flipped to a Classic / Modern Rock hybrid.<P ID="signature">______________
