Giant PING List.
Word is breaking that Merlin Broadcasting has sold Philly’s WWIQ 106.9 to EMF Broadcasting, which is Christian religious programming. WWIQ has Imus, Beck, Rush, Hannity, etc. and some wonder if the new owners will switch format.
On a radio board people are guessing Rush or Sean could wind up on WNTP (950 AM I believe); that CBS (WPHT 1210) might not take them back, or that maybe an FM could be the new home. (”Or blow up one of their own signals for Rush Radio? Really, only 106.1 and 104.5 would make sense switching, and those would be a stretch.—Pab Subgenus on RadioDiscussions Philly board)
We’ll see what happens if indeed the new owners of WWIQ
(subject to FCC approval) blow up the format
