94.5 FM Format Flip in Birmingham!

[whitfm]

Has anyone heard any station ID's yet on 94.5, or are they just running country with no ID's?

[jay]

yes...at midnight, i heard a very quick id....WYSF birmingham

sounded edited from what they used to run

[whitfm]

But apparently the station has no name that has been heard on the air yet? I wonder if they're just stunting this weekend...

Arghhh!!!! Guess this means another indeterminate period of listening to old Reg broadcasts while he finds yet another new home.

Didn't Birmingham (or maybe Huntsville) get another new radio station (either Top 40 or Hot AC) last summer?

 I recalled hearing a station referring to itself as 'The NEW ------' when I drove through Birmingham (and Huntsville) while en route from Atlanta to Nashville.

Birmingham did with 94.5 and it appears now that they bit the dust.

WYSF officially changed to hot AC as the "New 94.5" around Memorial Day of last year. A short-lived format, that's for sure. Somebody on the board thought I was totally out of my mind a few months ago to even suggest that WYSF might possibly abandon the hot AC format after just a year's time. But...here we are, slightly more than 13 months later with another format possibly on the horizon. Of course, if this is all some sort of stunt and WYSF winds up returning to hot AC, I'll have to eat my words, lol.

sure looks like i already ate my words... LOL - i just went back and read the old thread, complete with my shock to your reaction they might change formats.  i just didn't think stations changed THAT quickly...but you're right, they've had a year.  I, personally, liked the station.  But i'm 30 years old. And yes, i did get tired of some of the same music playing OVER and OVER and OVER again, but i'm burnt out completely on classic rock.  I'm still trying to accept that mobile's 92zew is playing some AAA and even more classic rock - and they're calling it 5 decades of rock.   I don't like it.  I find myself gravatating more towards nashville's lightning 100.  I even dated a girl out of Gadsden for a while and she introduced me to their Mix 102.9....which i've actually got as my first preset now.  Wow...times are changing.

Now that three of the four major groups in Birmingham (Cox, CC, and Citadel) have at least one country station each in the market, Crawford needs to have one, too. WYDE should now change its format to country to "complete the set".  

If they switched they'd have to call it "Country 102" or "101.1 The Bull" to keep up with their recent trend of taking already-used names.

Hmm, as of 10:04a (Sun 7/6) Reg's show is on the stream. http://citadelcc-WYSF-FM.wm.llnwd.net/citadelcc_WYSF_FM

Is it also on air on 94.5?
