Yikes…97.1 😱

So wait. Audacy is soon simulcasting their sports stations on Sirius XM and 97.1 the fan (yikes 97.1) isn’t one of them…

SiriusXM To Carry Audacy News & Sports Stations

For the first time since iHeartMedia's 102.7 KIIS-FM Los Angeles left the platform in 2022, terrestrial radio stations will be available to SiriusXM subscribers.

That's not what it says.

Let's annotate:

Audacy’s 23 Sports stations will debut on SiriusXM’s platform on September 1, with nineteen News and Talk stations to follow later this year. Eight Sports stations will be available to satellite subscribers: WFAN New York, WSCR Chicago, KRLD-FM Dallas, KGMZ San Francisco, WIP Philadelphia, WEEI Boston, WXYT-FM Detroit, KDKA-FM Pittsburgh, and WKRK-FM Cleveland. The remainder will be made available on the SiriusXM app and in vehicles with the service’s 360L platform.

So---eight on SiriusXM on September 1 and the other 15 via the app and on vehicles with 360L.

This seems like an incredible waste of SiriusXM's bandwidth.

Sorry to do this to you, pardner, but I am an engineer and just can't help myself.

Care to count those eight stations again?

You must be kidding. What bandwidth? I've had phone lines with better bandwidth. In fact any old POTS line sounded better than a S/XM talk channel.

You’re not doing it to me. That was cut-and-paste. RadioInsight wrote it (and has already corrected their copy to “nine”).

And that means the other fourteen stations will be on 360L, including Yikes 97.1.
