Station changes, like formats, or ownerships?
« on: January 05, 2022, 2000 UTC »
So, has anyone heard of any station changes in formats, ownership hands, coming on-air, or even going off-air?
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

Ahhhhh... Ask, as you shall receive, eventually.  Bram Stoker gave me,    https://nationalradioclub.org/  (Download the sampler.)

And, Cosmik Debris gave me,   https://www.fybush.com/     That one, I believe that you really have to me a member to get anything.

THANKS guys!!!!!!

This website covers the Greater NYC  radio scene stretching from Eastern Pennsylvania through Connecticut and Long Island, it is commented by many folks who are on the inside of the radio business.  If there are changes at a NYC area station it gets noted here.  Scroll down to Jan 2 and Dec 15 WNMB post on a format change.  I interject with my "non" nom de plume (real name  ;)) on things I learn about Connecticut radio happenings.
