The move in Philly is NOT a step down!
Isn’t WPGB Quinn and Rose’s flagship?
Yes the big move in talk, sports, and news is to powerful FM
stations.
In Boston though Rush moved to another AM station at 1200
on the dial; Clear Channel, owner of 1200, has FM stations
doing R&B/hits on 94.5 and 107.9 but they didn’t want to change the format, but they offer the talk 1200 station
on the HD-2 signal of 107.9.
But yes, in many places he’s moving to FM...or stations
are simulcasting. For example in Worcester MA Rush is on
AM 580 but now that station simulcasts on 94.9 FM...
And in Fargo ND Rush is on a very powerful FM station
now (a “Stop Rush” site is calling them “Hate Radio 102.9”(
Just getting ready to post the WPGB Q&R thread. KDKA dropping Rush and WPBG picking up his show was one of the best moves!
