WKHL Drops Oldies for "Coast" AC
 *It's been a rough year for fans of oldies in the
New York metropolitan area, what with the demise of WCBS-FM and
all. But oldies aficionados in the CONNECTICUT suburbs
and nearby parts of Westchester and Long Island still had somewhere
else to turn - Cox's "Kool" WKHL (96.7 Stamford) -
at least until last Wednesday night at 10, when the Box Tops'
"The Letter" faded out, replaced by "The New 96-7,
the Coast, Fairfield County's Greatest Hits."
The new station, which is running jockless for now, kicked
off with Billy Joel's "Big Shot" (a wee bit ironic,
perhaps, for a station that's billing itself as being "all
about Fairfield County" to debut with Long Island's favorite
son?), and the music mix appears to be somewhere between all-out
adult hits and mainstream AC.
New calls for the station are apparently WCTZ.

MANDATORY SUBSCRIPTION FEES?
They've become a fact
of life for many of the most popular radio and TV websites out
there. Recently, the leading aircheck archive site - Uncle Ricky's
reelradio.com - was forced
to implement a subscription fee to help cover the rising costs
of keeping that wonderful site on line. Out on the West Coast,
subscription fees are a fact of life at LARadio.com
and SDRadio.net, too.
Here at fybush.com/North East
RadioWatch, we've managed to hold off from imposing a password
and mandatory subscription fee, but we depend on your support
- and that of our advertisers - to keep it that way.
If you still haven't subscribed
yet for 2006, do it right now at our Support
page - and enjoy another exciting year of NERW, guilt-
(and password-) free. And if you have become one of our
many subscribers, thank you! |
*Over in RHODE ISLAND, rumors began
swirling late last week that Brown Broadcasting Service was preparing
to sell WBRU-FM (95.5 Providence), the modern rock station that's
operated (commercially) by a mostly-volunteer staff of Brown
University students. An article in a local alternative weekly
led to a story Thursday night on WJAR (Channel 10), and by Friday
the message boards were aflame with talk of WBRU's imminent demise.
 Friday afternoon
at 4, the WBRU jocks said their farewells, to the tune of Green
Day's "Time of Your Life," and were abruptly replaced
by an automated adult hits format as "Buddy FM," a
nod to imprisoned former Providence mayor Buddy Cianci. The stunt
lasted 20 hours, until the WBRU jocks "broke in" to
the Benevolent Street studios Saturday afternoon and "liberated"
the station from its new corporate overlords at "Initek."
Yes, it was April Fool time in the Ocean State. And yes, "Initek"
is the infamously clueless corporation from the movie "Office
Space." And, yes, it was fun watching the message boards
- and the TV stations - take the whole thing seriously.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the state, Chris DiPaola's
WBLQ-LP (96.9 Ashaway) has been granted a move to 96.7, which
will reduce the interference it's been suffering since WHBE (96.7
East Hampton NY) moved to 96.9.

*The big news in MASSACHUSETTS
is all about signals - new ones and moved ones.
From the "new" file, our ears on the South Shore
have been hearing the initial testing of CSN International's
new WSMA (90.5 Scituate), which is running 7700 watts horizontal,
5 watts vertical from a site 150 meters above average terrain
off Route 3A down in Plymouth, using a directional antenna that
throws most of its power north and southwest, with a deep null
toward co-channel WICN (90.5 Worcester).
Out on Cape Cod, WWTE (90.1 Wellfleet) has applied for its
license to cover, though we've yet to hear any reports from anyone
who's heard the station on the air. WWTE changed hands late last
month from Living Proof, Inc., the California religious broadcaster
that's been fighting to get a station on the air in Leominster,
to Horizon Christian Fellowship, a Fitchburg-based religious
broadcaster. As part of the $150,000 transaction, Horizon also
gets translator construction permits for W241AU (96.1 Plymouth),
W258BH (99.5 Sandwich) and W296BR (107.1 Barnstable).
From the "moved" file, WFNX (101.7 Lynn) turned
on its new transmitter site atop One Financial Center in downtown
Boston late last week, dramatically improving its signal in the
city. WFNX had been transmitting from the old WEEI-FM site on
the Medford-Malden line since 1987, and from the WLYN (1360 Lynn)
tower on Route 107 before that, never quite getting enough signal
into the parts of Boston where most of the station's young audience
lives, works and goes to school.
(Many thanks to WFNX chief engineer Chris Hall for a tour
of both the new and old sites during our visit last week; we'll
have a comprehensive Tower Site of the Week on WFNX later this
spring.)
Entercom's WAAF (107.3 Worcester) has quietly returned to
the WUNI-TV (Channel 27) tower on Stiles Hill in Boylston. WAAF's
initial move from its longtime home on Mount Asnebumskit in Paxton
a few months ago didn't go well, with many complaints of poor
reception around the market, so the station returned to Paxton
while it worked things out at Stiles Hill. We'll be looking forward
to hearing from listeners around the area - especially in Boston
and its immediate suburbs, where the move is aimed - about how
WAAF sounds from Stiles this time.
(Before we leave WAAF, we should note that PD Ron Valeri has
a new title. He was promoted last week to director of FM programming
for Entercom Boston, putting him in charge of sister station
WMKK 93.7 as well.)
More moves: the bulldozers are already on site at WUNR (1600
Brookline), where the existing transmitter will be moved into
a trailer when work begins any day now to gut the transmitter
building. That'll be the first phase of the project to replace
WUNR's current two-tower, 5 kW signal with a five-tower site
shared by WUNR, WRCA (1330, moving from Waltham to Watertown)
and WKOX (1200, moving from Framingham to Newton). We'll bring
you updates on this fascinating (and long-delayed) project as
it progresses.
Eddie Andelman returned to the Boston airwaves last night,
with the debut of his 7-10 PM Sunday "New Sports Huddle"
on WTKK (96.9 Boston). The FM talk station quietly canceled the
Sunday afternoon "Calling All Sports" show the previous
weekend; its hosts are now looking for a new radio home in town.
(And speaking of WTKK owner Greater Media, the company celebrated
its fiftieth anniversary last week. While it's now based in New
Jersey, Greater began in 1956 at WESO in Southbridge.)
 Out
in Pittsfield, the moves begin this week at the Vox cluster.
We hear that WUHN (1110 Pittsfield) will flip from standards
to a simulcast of oldies "Whoopie" (WUPE 95.9 Pittsfield/WMNB
100.1 North Adams) on Wednesday, with Larry Kratka's "Upfront"
talk show moving from WUHN to sister WBEC (1420) at 11 AM. April
17 is now set as the date for WBEC-FM (105.5) to begin simulcasting
its "Live" top 40 on 95.9, which will become the sole
home of "Live" when 105.5 moves to the Springfield
market as a WEEI relay shortly thereafter.
What's Steve Provizer, founder of the defunct Allston-Brighton
Free Radio, up to these days? He's got "Zumix Radio"
on the air at a youth center in East Boston, broadcasting (over
an unlicensed Part 15 transmitter) at 1630 and webcasting at
zumix.org.
*There's a call change - and potentially
a format tweak, too - at a NEW HAMPSHIRE sports station.
WSNH (900 Nashua) changed calls to WGAM ("The Game")
last week. And we're told the station has been telling listeners
that it, and new sister station WKBR (1250 Manchester), may be
losing their ESPN Radio affiliations. Stay tuned...
 *One of MAINE's most respected broadcasters
has died. Bruce McGorrill started his career at WCSH in Portland
as an announcer in the fifties, and rose to become the chairman
of parent company Maine Broadcasting System, which owned WCSH,
Bangor's WLBZ and KMEG in Sioux City, Iowa. McGorrill, who was
also known as a humorist and public speaker, retired from the
stations in 1996. He died last Tuesday (Mar. 28) in Portland,
at 74.
Portland's WGME-TV (Channel 13) is looking for a new general
manager. After seven years in the post, Alan Cartwright departed
last week to become executive vice president of the Maine Children's
Alliance.
*In NEW YORK, the big buzz last week
continued to be about the fate of troubled CBS morning man David
Lee Roth. The former Van Halen frontman was off the air Wednesday
and Thursday, with midday hosts JV and Elvis filling in at flagship
WFNY-FM (92.3 New York), while other affiliates were left to
their own devices. Roth was back on Friday, with a show that
focused on the hassles he's said he's getting from management...but
for how much longer?
 A few notches down
on the dial, WKRB (90.9 Brooklyn) has quietly extricated itself
from the interference that it's suffered ever since it signed
on from Kingsborough Community College in 1978 as one of the
last class D (10-watt) FM stations the FCC authorized. WKRB briefly
moved to 103.1 in the early eighties, but that grant was rescinded.
More recently, "B91" tried to move to 91.9, but with
no luck. Now that WFUV (90.7) is on the air from its new site
in the Bronx, with improved coverage into Brooklyn, WKRB's situation
had become considerably more dire - and in February, it applied
for and was granted (without anyone - even us - noticing) a move
to 90.3, which was completed last week.
Heading up the Hudson Valley, two new noncommercial FMs are
coming to the region. The Monroe (Connecticut) Board of Education,
licensee of WMNR (88.1 Monroe), has been granted a 30 watt/207
meter signal on 88.3 in Beekman, transmitting from a tower in
West Pawling. And the WGMY calls have already been granted to
a new signal on 88.1 in Montgomery, licensed to River Broadcasting.
WGMY will have 100 watts/52 meters from a tower at the junction
of routes 17K and 208 in Montgomery.
Radio People on the Move, Hudson Valley edition: Kristen Delaney
is the new market manager for Clear Channel Radio in Albany,
replacing the departed Dennis Lamme. Randy Turner, former PD
of WCZX (97.7 Hyde Park), has landed as production director at
Pamal's cluster (WSPK/WHUD/WXPK/WBNR-WLNA) in Beacon. And Michelle
Taylor moves up from promotions director to PD for Clear Channel's
"Lite FM" stations (WRNQ/WCTW/WFKP).
 In the Albany market,
public broadcaster WMHT (89.1 Schenectady) is once again airing
separate programming on its recently-purchased sister station,
WBKK (97.7 Amsterdam). Both stations remain classical, but the
Albany Times Union's Joseph Dalton reports WBKK is now
carrying shorter, more accessible classical pieces under the
tagline "Casual, Comfortable and Classical," with several
WMHT staffers voicetracking most of the day.
Syracuse's NBC affiliate, WSTM (Channel 3), and its UPN LPTV
offshoot, WSTQ-LP (Channel 14), have a new owner, as Barrington
Broadcasting pays Raycom $262 million for WSTM/WSTQ and a dozen
other stations in nine markets around the country. No sooner
was the deal announced than WSTQ completed its agreement to become
Syracuse's CW affiliate this fall. My Network TV, meanwhile,
signed with WPNY-LP in Utica, making it all but inevitable that
CW will land on cable there (and likely in Watertown, Binghamton
and Elmira, too.)
Speaking of Elmira, W39CP in Corning changed its calls to
WJKP-LP last week, confirming the speculation that it (and likely
W06CD Elmira) will be the new home of My Network TV this fall
in that market. WJKP will be a sister station to "Big Fox"
WYDC (Channel 48) in Corning.
Great moments in newspaper fact-checking: Referring to all
the publicity on CBS for hot new pop star Teddy Geiger, a native
of the Rochester area, a certain local daily declared "CBS
is a part of Sony Entertainment, as is Geiger's record label.".
Sony, of course, never owned CBS - and it's been almost two decades
since the Japanese media giant bought what was then CBS Records.
(Do we even need to tell you which
paper was responsible for that howler, or to point out that
no correction has run?)
In Buffalo, Entercom's WTSS (Star 102.5) has a new PD, as
Brian Demay arrives from WBQB in Fredericksburg, Virginia to
take the chair last occupied by Dave Universal. Up the road at
WJJL (1440 Niagara Falls), morning host Dan Krull is out, after
being caught in a child pornography sting by federal officials.
And not that many Buffalonians probably noticed, at least
not if the ratings were any indication, but the "Ten O'Clock
News" on Sinclair's WB affiliate, WNYO-TV (Channel 49),
bowed out Friday with a nice montage of behind-the-scenes clips
from its not quite two years in business. The closure came as
Sinclair shuttered "News Central" operations in the
remaining markets that were getting the half-local, half-national
product. Unlike other markets, such as Pittsburgh and Las Vegas,
where Sinclair is now outsourcing news to other stations in town,
there are no plans to continue a 10 PM newscast on WNYO, leaving
LIN's WNLO (Channel 23) alone with news at that hour.
*In NEW JERSEY, WPST (94.5 Trenton)
parted ways with morning man Chris Centore last week. No replacement
has been named.
Down at Radio Disney's WWJZ (640 Mount Holly-Philadelphia),
Robert Minton has been named station manager. Minton was marketing
director at ABC's WRQX/WJZW in Washington.
*Over on the PENNSYLVANIA side of
the river, WIP (610) has yet to name a replacement for midday
co-host Mike Missanelli, who was sent packing last week after
a fistfight with his producer at a remote a few days earlier.
In Scranton, CBS affiliate WYOU (Channel 22) is looking for
a news director, now that ND/anchor Frank Andrews is leaving
to begin his campaign for state representative.
There's a new PD in the Scranton market, too, as KJ Bryant
heads south on I-81 from WWYL (104.1 Chenango Bridge) in Binghamton,
where he's been PD since "Wild 104" debuted in 2002.
He's moving to Citadel sister station WBHT (97.1 Mountain Top)/WBHD
(95.7 Olyphant). (And at this address, he's still remembered
as "Norm on the Barstool" from his days at WPXY in
Rochester...)
And in Pittsburgh, KDKA (1020) has named John McIntire the
permanent host for the 8-10 PM slot, where he's been hosting
"The Flip Side" since January.
 *Some
new signals are on the way in southern ONTARIO. In Woodstock,
"104.7 Heart FM" (CIHR) is reportedly testing in preparation
for its official launch this spring. Not far away in Chatham-Kent,
United Christian Broadcasters (UCB) has been granted its second
license. It's already on the air in Belleville, and now it will
add a 16.7 kW signal on 89.3 in the Chatham area. In Toronto,
CJKX (95.9 Ajax) has been granted an 80-watt on-channel repeater
to strengthen its signal in the downtown Toronto area. (The country
station tells the CRTC that it will maintain its studio in, and
its programming focus on, the suburbs north and east of Toronto.)
Toronto's jazz station, "JAZZ91" (CJRT 91.1), is
moving into new studios. After a decade and a half in a Ryerson
University building on Mutual Street, the station's relocating
to new streetside digs in the Liberty Village neighborhood, on
Pardee Avenue near King and Dufferin.
CIEL (103.7 Riviere-du-Loup QC) won't be getting a 1.4 watt
relay on 97.3 in Edmundston, New Brunswick. The CRTC denied the
application, ruling that Edmundston is not within CIEL's existing
coverage area, and that any new signals there would threaten
the already shaky finances of the city's two existing stations.
And we're sorry to report the untimely death of "Fred
FM" (CFRK 92.3 Fredericton NB) midday jock Juanita McKnight,
who was hit by a car in Moncton last Thursday. She died the next
day, survived by her three children and a saddened radio station.

From
the NERW Archives
(Yup, we've been doing this a long time now, and
so we're digging back into the vaults for a look at what NERW
was covering one, five and ten years ago this week, or thereabouts
- the column appeared on an erratic schedule in its earliest
years as "New England Radio Watch," and didn't go to
a regular weekly schedule until 1997. Thanks to LARadio.com
for the idea - and thanks to you, our readers, for the support
that's made all these years of NERW possible!)
April 4, 2005 -
- A VERMONT television pioneer has died. Stuart T. "Red"
Martin, Jr. was president of Mount Mansfield Television, the
family-owned company that has owned WCAX-TV (Channel 3) in Burlington
since it signed on as WMVT in 1954. (The station took on its
present calls, WCAX-TV, the following year.) Martin was instrumental
in designing and building WCAX's transmitter site high atop Mount
Mansfield. In addition to his management duties, Martin delivered
on-air editorials at Channel 3 into the seventies, and continued
to go to work at the station as recently as a few weeks ago.
Martin also served for 40 years on the CBS Television Affiliates
Advisory Board.
- In Downeast MAINE, Nassau pulled the plug on adult standards
at WBYA (105.5 Islesboro) Friday, but it was no April Fool's
joke. The station relaunched as classic hits "Frank FM,"
sharing air talent with the Frank mothership in Portland, WFNK
(107.5 Lewiston) and promoting the addition of Patriots play-by-play
this fall, too.
- An upstate NEW YORK institution said his farewells - for
now - Thursday afternoon. After a half-century in the business,
including stints at Buffalo's WXRA and WKBW, the legendary CKLW
in Windsor and stints in radio and TV in Detroit and Denver,
Tom Shannon pulled what he says was his last full-time shift
on WHTT (104.1 Buffalo), where he's worked since 1997, packing
those final four hours with congratulatory greetings from colleagues,
including a lengthy chat by phone with Detroit icon (and Buffalo
native) Dick Purtan and a long conversation with Buffalo News
radio critic Anthony Violanti.
- A quick run 'round the dial to see who was stunting how on
April Fool's Day: in the Albany market, WFLY (92.3) ditched "Fly
92" for a few hours to become "Ring 92," the world's
first all-ringtone station. Up the road, WEQX (102.7 Manchester
VT) took off from the "Jack" craze to tell its audience,
"We know Dick," stunting rather cleverly for the day
as "Dick FM." In Syracuse, it was the ol' wheel of
formats for WWHT (107.9), including some time as "Kiss"
and as "Mix 108." Here in Rochester, WZNE (94.1 Brighton)
made a most unconvincing stab at pretending to flip to Spanish,
running three liners and a dozen songs or so as "La Zona"
for a couple of hours after Howard Stern. (And down in Westchester
County, WVWA emerged from the mists of legend for another run
on Tower
Site of the Week...)
- The future of several northeast PENNSYLVANIA radio stations
is in some doubt after the conviction of station owner Doug Lane
on charges of molesting a 15-year-old boy and possession of child
pornography. After his first trial ended in a mistrial, the second
began and ended last week with just two days of testimony and
90 minutes of jury deliberations, finding Lane guilty on eight
of the 11 counts and subjecting him to up to 80 years behind
bars. In the past, the FCC hasn't looked kindly on station owners
convicted of such serious crimes, and local prosecutors in Scranton
have already said they'll attempt to seize the property connected
to Lane's stations, WWDL (104.9 Scranton), WICK (1400 Scranton)
and WYCK (1340 Plains). (Lane also provides programming to WITK
1550 Pittston PA, which simulcasts WICK/WYCK.)
April 4, 2001 -
- Back when we toiled in the radio business in MASSACHUSETTS,
the buzzword du jour was "synergy," as radio stations,
TV newsrooms and newspapers fought to see who could create the
most alliances with erstwhile competitors. This week, though,
the object of the game appears to be just the opposite, as radio,
TV and newspapers all engaged in what looks like one big catfight.
It all started, apparently, with the Boston Globe's 1999 decision
to ban its sports reporters from the Glenn Ordway show on WEEI
(850 Boston). That ban didn't provoke much of a media frenzy,
but last week, when the Globe extended the ban to WEEI's morning
show, hosts John Dennis and Gerry Callahan decided to make an
issue out of it. Globe columnist Eileen McNamara fanned the flames
when she then wrote a column (against editors' orders, it seems)
about being banned. The Globe declined to publish the column,
and McNamara then decided to go on the Dennis/Callahan show in
violation of the ban.
- That's not the end of the cross-media fireworks lighting
the sky over Boston Harbor, though: WEEI itself has been playing
the ban game, exiling Globe writers from its other shows (which
were still acceptable to Globe editors, since the content actually
focused on sports instead of the typical male-oriented morning
show fodder.) Oh yeah...WEEI has also barred the Herald's Jim
Baker from its airwaves.
- Meanwhile, across town on Soldiers Field Road, the once-friendly
relationship between WBZ (1030) and sister station WBZ-TV (Channel
4) turned sour last week when radio talk host David Brudnoy invited
WCVB (Channel 5) anchor-icon Natalie Jacobson to be a guest on
his 25th anniversary show. The Herald's Monica Collins reported
Saturday that the guest stint, which put Channel 4 anchor Joe
Shortsleeve in the odd position of having to do a radio cut-in
promoting his 11 PM show right in the midst of his competitor's
appearance, prompted a memo from 'BZ-TV general manager Ed Goldman
that put the brakes on the long cooperation between the radio
and TV sides at 1170 Soldiers Field Road. Collins says the memo
bans (there's that word again!) WBZ radio personalities from
appearing on Channel 4, stops radio news crews from using the
TV side's gear, and halts the shared promotions between the two
stations.
- Elsewhere in the Bay State, the new formats are now fully
in place on Ernie Boch's Cape Cod FMs. WTWV (101.1 Mashpee),
now doing hot AC as "the Wave," even has an airstaff
in place: Mina and Doug in mornings, operations manager Boy Troy
in middays and music director Lisa Garvey in afternoons. Down
the hall at modern rock WDVT (93.5 Harwich Port), music director
Peter Maxx is also serving as production director for the entire
Boch group. "The Vault" is jockless for the moment,
but we're told that will change.
- We'll make VERMONT our next stop as we flesh out the rumors
to which we alluded last issue. Clear Channel is indeed shifting
some of its Burlington-market signals, and it plays out something
like this: The smooth jazz that was this year's format on WXPS
(96.7 Willsboro NY) showed up on another spot on the dial Monday
morning, replacing oldies on WLCQ (92.1 Port Henry NY). Once
that temporary simulcast ends, 96.7 will reportedly become WXZO,
"the Zone," simulcasting talk programming (including
Imus in the Morning) from WEAV (960 Plattsburgh NY). 96.7 was
talk once before, doing sports back before its smooth-jazz days
-- and it was simulcasting WEAV back then, too! We're also hearing
about some tweaking going on down in the Middlebury area, as
Steve Silberberg gets to work on WRRO (93.7 Addison). Gone, we're
told, is much of the classic rock, replaced by AAA-ish fare such
as Paula Cole and Elvis Costello. And if that sounds reminiscent
of Silberberg's Boston-market "River" (WXRV 92.5 Haverhill
MA), it should: we're also told the River folks are advising
WRRO on programming.
- Next stop, RHODE ISLAND and a surprise station sale and format
change: Pawtucket's WICE (550) dropped its talk format ("550
the Buzz") Monday morning (4/2) to become the second Radio
Disney affiliate in the Providence market. Owner AAA Entertainment
(formerly Back Bay Broadcasting) is selling WICE to Disney for
what we hear is a price north of $3 million.
New England Radio Watch, April 3, 1996
-
- The big news is the April Fools' joke
that wasn't: the move of veteran WBCN morning host Charles Laquidara
to co-owned classic rocker WZLX, allowing Howard Stern to move
from evenings on BCN (where he's been since March 1993) to morning
drive. Here's what the fallout looks like so far: Most of Charles'
crew moved with him to WZLX (the exception is sports guy Tank,
who stays with WBCN to do Patriots games there), displacing morning
host George Taylor Morris. Evenings are back to music on WBCN,
with no permanent jock named yet. At his press conference today,
Stern slammed all the usual Boston media suspects, but from what
I'm told, said he's especially determined to beat the all-news
station, which would be perennial AM drive leader WBZ. I wasn't
able to get Howard's April 1 and 2 shows on tape, and would be
grateful to hear from anyone who did. I *did* tape part of Laquidara's
first show on WZLX.
- Red Sox season is underway, on a radio
network that includes flagship WEEI 850 Boston, and for AM DXers
to the west, WTIC 1080 Hartford. TV viewers are still trying
to find the Carmine Hose, who have parted company with WSBK-TV
38 after two decades. Thanks to its Sox, Bruins, and Celtics
coverage, TV38 had built itself into a regional superstation
found on almost every cable system from Long Island Sound north
into Canada and west into upstate New York. The Sox' new flagship,
WABU-TV, is a 3-station UHF network on 68 in Boston, 21 (WNBU)
in Concord NH, and 58 (WZBU) on Cape Cod. Other areas are filled
in with full-power TV (WGME and WPXT in Portland ME) or LPTV
(WLNE-LP in Providence, WWIN-LP in Burlington VT, and WDMR-LP
in Springfield). Berkshire County, in Western Mass., was a trouble
spot, since neither WDMR-LP nor WABU reach out there. After weeks
of confusion and distress among Sox fans, the local cable companies
agreed to pick up a satellite feed of Sox games on basic cable.
Nobody wants to drop WSBK for WABU, because of WSBK's Bruins
and Celtics coverage and its stronger slate of syndicated programs
and news.
