PEOPLE LOVE THEIR CLASSIC HITS. RECENT CHANGES HAVE BEEN REVOKED.
PRESUMABLY, NONE OF THE FINE PEOPLE LET GO WILL GET THEIR JOBS BACK, HOWEVER.
as best i can tell, as of yet, there is yet no website or stream.
i don't know if fmers don't like right wing blather or just love their oldies.
Clear Channel regional programming manager and OMW reader Keith Kennedy tells us:
I’ve never been involved with a situation where the public was so vocal about a switch. To the credit of Margie Tasseff (GSM), and programmers Rusty Cates and Ron Colman, they pushed to undo the moves/changes of last December…and as a result Classic Hits returns to My 100.1fm.
And the station’s press release quotes Tasseff:
My 100.1 General Sales Manager Margie Tasseff said comments from the public lead to the return of the music station after a simulcast of WMAN-AM. “Phone calls, emails, I was even stopped in the grocery store more than a few times. We are thrilled to bring back a station that the community embraced, and we hope they will do it again.”
As noted, 98.3 Fredericktown remains in the WMAN simulcast with 1400 AM, and takes the WMAN-FM calls as 100.1 returns to its historic WSWR calls…
