98.7 isn't messing around...

[Tennessee Cowboy]

You aren't going to believe this, but must be true because it came from LeadSled's ex wife's hairdresser, who overheard it from someone who sounded 'real smart':

The whole Wartburg/Petros sales office rumor was a red herring.  The real location: Coalfield.  They're going in with their newsroom sponsor to launch the Hiller Heating, Plumbing, and Outhouse Repair Coalfield news bureau/sales office/septic tank central dispatch.  As we discuss this, Hiller is trying to find an FCC-friendly way to introduce their new jingle: "We Give A S--t So You Can Take A S--t, Hill-errrrr!"

Citadel has to take 98.7 from less than a million to more than several million in ad revenue.  This is the only way to cover more than half of their coverage area.

Meanwhile, across the street, the guy Citadel dumped is going to cost them maybe ten times what he was paid.  Every year.  And all he really needs to do is make phone calls to 40 years of advertising contacts.

That why I say what was Citadel thinking??

There's been an FCC inquiry on the 2,800 ft. grass strip at Oliver Springs Airport/Coin Laundry.  They want to see if it will accommodate a King Air (FBO Nevada).  Maybe Citadel is getting ready to open a new corporate office.

Check it:  Citadel Communications, with offices in Las Vegas, New York, Atlanta, and Coalfield.

Maybe they can get that 2,800 foot runway to go vertical and put an antenna on it. Then they could cover the market with 8,000 watts.

It would kill Citadel's master plan:  #1 in Knoxville, #1 in Wartburg.

Sorry Bill.  They didn't say they were going to improve the signal.  They said they were going to...  going to....  Hell, you're right.  What in God's name was Citadel thinking?

98.7 was doing about half a million in dollars a year.

100.3 was doing about 5, 5, 5 million dollars.

That's a difference of 4.5 million dollars a year.

This time next year, if 98.7 is still talk, they will have drawn about 1.2 million in revenue.

That's a huge win for them.

But 100.3 will have improved by 11% on the current figures.

Well. anyway the simulcast is over, as of this morning 100.3 was running big band music and announcements that "your news-talk has moved". Also gthis article on Ed Brantley and the change

Will it be in downtown coalfield or in the suburbs?  Catoosa Rd in Wartburg would be a great place for it.
