: Country will remain on 106.3/106.7.
: Here's the scoop without giving away all details
: -New name/branding for the station/music
: -Music will be tweaked, think todays country and the legends
: -New morning show
: -Other airstaff moved around to diff dayparts
: Basically when said and done new country station on 106.3/7
: The people at MWF are too smart to throw a real oldies format on the FM. It just don't sell.
This all seems like a plausible plan. Still, why stunt for a day then... it gives folks a chance to check out Star, Dodgeville, Bucky, JVL, et. al... and they may like it better. Just do the format tweak, etc. I guess this is why I'm not a programmer.
I think some change is/was needed. The country Q sounded stale. Star doesn't sound much better -- especially with the addition of the CC "premium" jocks.
