Jesus, I need a running count...  How many format changes does that make since WNEW flipped to the "hot talk" format?Scott Muni and that Sex for Sam contestant continue to spin in their graves.

If you see a guy with that bumper sticker, steer clear. Unless you're into that sort of thing.

There are plenty of "city folk" who appreciate the kind of country that isn't represented by the likes of Toby Kieth. It wouldn't be bad for Laura Cantrell, either. She's a NYC girl.

I wonder how many WNEW execs have hung themselves since Aug. 2002? I think the Fresh 102.7 tag should be, "Violently nose-diving into the ground for 4 years now."

it's crazy to think of what happened to 102.7...  growing up, we would cut school every year for the big concert they would put on in nj (point pleasant?)... 102.7 and 92.3 and later the rat (esd!) were the only stations i listened to growing up.

"Last talk show"??? That's what the boys are known as?

This wont last too long. Lite FM 106.7 will blow it away in the ratings. They should make it like a WLIR/WDRE Format. If anyone remembers that it was a long island station on 92.7 Basically played 80's new wave mixed in with grunge

There's absolutely no reason for any human being to ever turn that station on again.

they are officially dropping the WNEW calls. (WWFS will be the new call letters) They said WNEW are going to be "held" by a cbs station in West Palm. I wonder if its the station O & A are on?

of COURSE they're different.  Blink was Pink, Fresh is blue. <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/blink.gif" border="0" />
