Do you mean just the frequency 92.7, or the format, or both?

In any case, I hope the rumor I heard is not true. Tom Roten bought it and is pre-emptorially leaving CC before they leave him...and WRVC-FM will be used by him full time to preach his home schooling, anti-Democrat, anti-medicine crack-pottery.

One would hope that Kindred will also do something useful with the WRVC am frequency at the same time.

Is Roten really buying it? Becoming a talk station?

Are you going to run on the auxiliary site for some reason?

In the FWIW department, the website no longer works:

http://www.wrvc.fm

The other sites still do:

http://www.wdgg.fm
http://www.wrvc.am
http://www.wcmi.am

So far, at least, this doesn't:

Why does there seem to be such a 'sport' about posting totally 'vague' information as a 'new-topic' on this site and everyone just has to guess for a day before the original poster cleans it up, or someone else does?

WHY?

The original post on this thread is almost insulting.

Didn't Cameron tell us months ago something was going to happen?
It never did happen.
Maybe this is it.

Am I the only one enjoying the careful wording and thinking "call-letter change?" I mean, it was the guy who probably did the paperwork who's posting it..... :)

The mods have my permission to delete this thread.
That way, even small bits of information can be expunged from this holiest-of-holy endevour that is all things to all people.

Nothing more than Cameron's usual antics. The truth is Kindred is selling WRVC to Robby Vanhose, who just inked a long term agreement with Paul Swann Productions to produce sports programming related to the NFL franchise that is coming to Huntington. Bobby Pruett has been hired as the head coach and Sonny Randal will be the spokesperson. It's all on iSwann.com. Geze.

They're going to resurrect the WPNS calls from its old AM 1080 days.

Welcome to "92.7 The Penis"

You heard it here first ...

Update: 92.7 will broadcast 24 hour a day news flashes when WSAZ makes an on-air mistake.

W-G-E-N

Market leader indeed.
