Is this the "Bellevue" station? (Lobelville heading east?). If they do psychedelic music and semi-alt classic rock, it'll be fine. CR --- no more haircuts if debuts as Hippie. If they give it a mainstream sound with no heart, soul or guts it'll tank as often as 106.7. Speaking of which....

Appear to be using the Hippie Baby Boomer format. Not my favorite of the oldies formats on the bird, but a welcome addition to the market, IMHO. http://www.hippieradio.net |

Their graphic is more impressive than the station, so far.

You've GOT to be kidding me!? Not only will it most likely screw up WGSQ 94.7 for me, which I've come to accept, but NOT for that format. Gross. I just gave it a preview. How much classic rock can this market handle!? 96, 97, 1059 (some 929) all play the same music!
94.5's on the wrong side of town for spanish radio, but come on, NO ONE is going to give us a good Hot AC station!? (granted that signal wouldn't be the best to use). I guess I'll keep streaming from Colorado, or ANY other market! And seriously, do NOT bring up V102 - that does not count, as no offices can pick up the signal in Davidson County. I think 94.5 could support a CLASSIC country format similar to WANT. I'm 24 and I listen. I'm not alone in that. Some get tired of hearing "Storm Warning" on 98 all day =) I digress...
Since Way is off of 94.5, any idea if/when they'll be on 105.1? Way is missing 100,000+ people in NE Davidson County and all of Sumner County where they have NO signal at all after going to 5kW. I would imagine it'll have an uphill signal battle against Solid Gospel 105.

Heard their first song was "Revolution" and they kicked off at 3P today. Haven't had a chance to listen. Check out - http://hippieradio945.com/Spider Harrison is back. Very cool VIP! |

It sounds like they launched at 3.
I was listening to the dead carrier (it's an engineering thing...) on my way home from, ironically enough, Bellevue, when they ran an ID & into the music. There seems to be at least one warm body on site as they gave a more-or-less accurate weather report around 3:30.
Unfortunately, the signal is pretty good up here in Pleasant View. I managed to land Clear 94 (Poplar Bluff, Mo.) and Mix 94.5 (Lexington, Ky.) yesterday -- I suppose I'll never hear those stations again...
Tibbs: yes, they launched with "Revolution" -- although they didn't play the whole thing!, covered it up with about a minute to go with whatever the next tune was.

It's nice to have a geekfest again in Nashville. Not to make a sad note of things, but it is weird that Spider would be on and they are having a tribute to David Hall this afternoon on Lightning 100. Bittersweet for sure.
