Since the site moves about 75 miles to the south, one wonders if, once the re-allocation has cleared the commission, Cox could re-apply to have 95.7 allocated again to Piqua (or a convenient nearby "un-served community).... maybe downgrading to a B1 or even an A. If that, I'd look for Cox to keep their simulcast on 95.7. If not, I see it moving to another frequency in the market.. maybe 95.3?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1170245743990383032007-01-31T07:15:00.000-05:002007-01-31T07:15:00.000-05:00I cannot for the life of me understand why WTVN wo...I cannot for the life of me understand why WTVN would dump Pat Pagano. He's a competent forecaster whose banter was a perfect complement to the "Morning Monarch," Bob Conners. I am also uncertain why WBNS-TV thought their meterologists were a good fit for WTVN, as their parent already owns two stations in Columbus. Maybe they feel they could get better exposure on a competing station?<BR/><BR/>As for the WHIO moves, those will be intriguing to watch as well. WHIO has invested a lot in the way of promotion to tout the addition of the news-talk format to 95.7 FM, so it's unclear to me why they would entertain the idea of dumping that so soon. That is, unless they are planning to pick up a better frequency and move WHIO-FM there. <BR/><BR/>(On that note, while I enjoy some of WHIO-FM's syndicated talk programming, I find I cannot listen to their local newscasts. They are over-saturated with promotional one-liners and are more hype than substantive news coverage. I don't buy that all radio news is that way. I hear plenty of stations that present the news and leave it at that.)Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087043649251621840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1170239370141893522007-01-31T05:29:00.000-05:002007-01-31T05:29:00.000-05:00Other moves 92.7 WQEL Bucyrus to Richwood. 104.3 W...Other moves 92.7 WQEL Bucyrus to Richwood. 104.3 WJZK Richwood to Grandview Heights (Columbus).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1170219648322086572007-01-31T00:00:00.000-05:002007-01-31T00:00:00.000-05:00oa-when i was in dayton 6 weeks ago, i got a chanc...oa-when i was in dayton 6 weeks ago, i got a chance to listen to whio on both am and fm. very well done operation. news staff is professional, local and objective. neil boortz is a whiner, but the station has him doing liners for the rest of the shows, including clark howard(6pm). if you go thru dayton/piqua--definitely worth listening to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
