It seems that Gen X Radio keeps disappearing. Today St Louis dropped Gen X and switched to Classic Rock as "The Brew". One thing I found interesting on The Brew's home page is a box at the top asking "Looking for Gen X ?'' ''Try GenX Louisville" http://brewstlouis.com/main.htmlI have noticed more 80's music on GenX lately. I wonder how much longer ''100.5 GenX Radio'' will last. |

Gen X Louisville has always been the most successful. Plus it was the first. I'm sure it will last a few more years and my guess it will flip to Hot AC.

With Gen X gone in Columbus, OH awhile back to Alternative and now the first Gen X in St Louis now gone.. I am guessing eventually Louisville will also take a different direction  Personally as someone who grew up in the 90s.. I really liked the format. |

Or WHAS-FM. Heard the new name when I was driving home on iheartradio... Wish lexington would flip 94.5 to a Gen-X but sometimes I can get 100.5 here in Lexington. Hope it sticks around for awhile. If not WHAS put the FOX back where it belongs. |

Or WHAS-FM. As long as we're armchair quarterbacking....... WHAS goes to 100.5, 790's "intellectual property" moves to 840 and 790 becomes a format to be named later. |

I know to never say never, but I doubt if we ever see the demise of the 840 signal. It won't be the demise but more of an evolution. 840 is nothing more than a distribution point. 790 has a usable signal during the day and an atrocious night signal. Moving WHAS to 100.5 would help attract a younger demo while sports on 840 would make sense for a better night time signal. It's a long shot that it would happen but on paper makes sense. The real motivation would revolves around how WHAS is doing attracting listeners the ad agencies desire. |

Moving whas away from 840 frequency would be a very stupid move no ifs ands or buts!!! You dont mess with something that has been on 840 for as long as it has. I never thought cc should have moved the fox from 100.5 but that was only 12 years. It wasnt that big a deal at least not compared to moving whas from 840.
But move whas from 840 horrible idea and should never happen!!!
