Re: WOBG
Kind of makes you wonder if they will bother with the repairs based on the cost effectiveness. The America's Best Music service isn't that bad as it serves the older audience in the area that find Magic and Kiss FM too wild. I am surprised that both 104.1 and 106.5 have stayed a/c. I would have thought Withers would have flipped networks by now. The sound quality has been so bad when WOBG 1400 has been on it's hard to say how anyone could listen to it. Last time I heard it there were no id's liners or anything it was just a raw feed of the service.
