107.3 "The Promise" to sign on the air soon...

I still think of the station as WDLX, so it's not like "WERO" is a legacy to behold and cherish.

I still think of the station as WDLX, so it's not like "WERO" is a legacy to behold and cherish.

I remember it when it was WITN Rock 93 and also as DLX. It was a great station that was ultimately ruined by corproate radio. Very few of these "legacy" stations exsist. They're dying out like AM stations are. Now HD Radio MIGHT save AM, but it's doubtful.

Well it's "official" it's on the air and they have a website at http://www.thepromise1073.com/ . Check it out for all the details.

I hope they have better luck than Wilson's WUBN, 106.9. That station seems to have landed with a thud.

I remember when Steve Hardy's Original Beach Party was on this station...I met Steve once at a Burger King in Kinston...nice guy.

just a thought, just because a few on this board don't think WERO (or any other station for that matter) has a "legacy" to us, does't mean that someone a little bit younger doesn't.

What is it with old people?!?!  Just because it's not YOUR music, it's not as good. Same thing with radio. Just because it's not YOUR same old station doesn't mean it isn't good or leaving a legacy with the next generation.

Seems a bit arrogant, don't you think?

[quadraphonic]

Arrogant? Nah.  It's just people talking on the internet expressing their opinions, nothing set in stone, no actual possessions were exchanged or transferred.

Usually stations protect their call letters because they are historic, not because they are easier to make promos for.

Even so, Big Ben if you want the WERO call letters, they are yours.
We bequeath them to ya.  Do what you will with them.

I would consider myself one of the "younger" but I fail to see how the WERO calls have any significant heritage at all.  They represent a two year failed attempt at classic hits that ended almost 10 years ago.  Is this something to celebrate?

[BIG APE]

  I'm Lost??? WERO...Sounds like Weird O ..Hey That' ain't bad!  Heritage Station My A*S!     APE is a Heritage Station... BIG APE!

It's supposed to mean "Arrow" as in Arrow 93.3, All Rock & Roll Oldies

A station that was great but about 10 years ahead of its time.  It's come back to life as 100.7 The River.

Q: The Anncr:  O God Here we go.."What would we consider "Rock and Roll Oldies"...How many times...Layla..I never hear Mississpii Queen any more?  Hey is that on our list??? Mountain??  APE!
