Early this morning, WFSI appeared to be simulcasting El Zol 99.1.

Update: Over the weekend, 99.1 had broke away from their simulcast of 107.9, looping a message informing listeners to switch to 107.9.

As of this morning, 99.1 is now 1) WNEW-FM; 2) playing Christmas music.

Anyone know if they're streaming yet?

That's probably because the link you're using is now for 107.9, which is running the Spanish-language programming.  I don't know if 99.1 is streaming right now or not.

I discovered this link is active - it's already got three static URL's encapsuled in it:
http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/WNEWFMAAC.pls
... yet, it's not actually streaming at the moment... I think we found the streaming URL for 99.1, though!

DCRTV says Amy Morris, who was with WTOP and most recently WFED, will be joining the new FM news outlet at 99.1 FM.

It would be a major coup for CBS if they were able to get Lisa Baden, the former WTOP traffic reporter. Just sayin'...

Lisa Baden didn't work for WTOP.  She worked for Metro Networks, which had a contract with WTOP before WTOP decided to take traffic in-house.

So when will it launch? December 26? If it doesn't launch December 26, will the Christmas music continue?

Not sure - but we now know that they will be known as "WNEW 99.1 FM - All News, All The Time."

Has WNEW-FM stopped playing Christmas music? Their TuneIn page lists the format as "Christmas" but lists the song "now playing" as "The Beatles - She Loves You."

Hmmm...

DCRTV reports that WNEW 99.1 has switched from Christmas music to "The History of Rock & Roll".
