WYDE to change formats...again

[passtheword]

I just found this on Radio and Records about Crawford letting the airstaff go, with a format change coming very soon. Wonder what the next format's going to be over there. Will Crawford change the station's name three times in one week's time as it did before?

Here's the info on Radio and Records about it.

WYDE Goes Bye-Bye

101 really wasn't that bad,  they gave it their best shot.  I'd bet it will turn into some type of christain/gospel station, since Crawford seems to program most of their stations that way.  Speaking of 101, does anyone know of another 100 KW station that does high school football?

Well, I guess the million dollar question has been answered.

"How many stations do Burt and Kurt get to destroy before they get fired?"

Three, The Source, Legends, 101 WYDE.

Time to dust off those old reels, Bill Clinton jokes and work on the always timely Ronald Reagan impression.

Congrats Crawdaddy.

Prediction - back to talk, all syndicated

Bitter? You bet.

any updates/rumors on the flip?

I'm not sure if your referring to the Birmingham market or just stations in general, but 100kw WAAZ carries Crestview (Florida) High School sports (Football and some baseball).  As far as I know, Crestview High is the only school in this area that has all of their football games on the radio.

Wow

Whats the deal with that company. I have worked all over the Home Market and I have never seen a station flip
as many times 101.

Can someone tell me whats up over there

No real surprise that they're changing formats.  After all, they hardly made an impact with the format, even though there was and is a niche to be filled with an oldies-classic hits station (sorry, I don't think that Magic 96.5 truly fits the bill).  The problem for WYDE was that 97-7 the Peach, that little ole station from Jemison does a better job with essentially the same format.  Now, if you could only pick up the Peach north of the I-65/Montgomery Highway interchange in Hoover...

Changing formats again? What a surprise. 

I suppose they won't ever go down the alternative/modern rock road considering Crawford's standards. Well, going back to talk with a different name and attitude probably be the best option to make an impact on a blowtorch signal in my opinion.
