What's Going On At 1590?

Post by CK-722 » Thu Feb 28, 2019 4:33 pm

They are making announcements, saying tune in at 9:27 AM Friday. Then the sound of a heartbeat. Now it seems like it's off. In the old days, I would say the call letters were about to change to WHBT.

I could only hope it's something like WRME-LP, MeTV FM.

OK, I get it. They have a translator at 92.7.

Is THAT where they got the idea for the 486-SX?

1590 serves the Port Huron area (it is licensed to Marine City, technically).

You're thinking of 1530 in Cincinnati.

I believe that WHLX AM 1590 and FM 92.7 will be Classic Country as of 9AM tomorrow.

In a way, that would make sense, as they were country in the past.

Their call sign was WSMA. I always wondered if they were trying to imply that they were like WSM.

That’s what I thought back in the day, WSMA great calls they should have kept them.

The station is Country, Rock and Folk, It’s called “The Hills 92.7” (AM 1590).

Steve,AM 1590 sounds like a station I'd love to listen to if I could bring it in here in Windsor .

Sounds Great so far it’s definitely different. I’m listening to them online in Seattle.

You can get it on Alexa.

They were playing songs from the Second breakout of Bob Seger in the early 1970s. They should play his very early mid 1960s Regional hits on WTAC (You could get that very well in Port Huron. First to Chart Seger), WTRX, WPAG (First to play his acetate ONCE), WKNX, WSAM, WKNR, and CKLW (Very Strong in Port Huron, and of course Rosalie worked there).

Very Early Bob Seger Airplay in SE Michigan

East Side Story June-July, 1966 #22 WTAC Nearly 4 months later, in October, #3 WKNR #3 WXYZ #5 CKLW

Sock It To Me Santa-December, 1966 #18 WTAC

Persecution Smith-January, 1967 Broke Contemporaneously Peaks #4 WPAG #9 WKNR #11 CKLW #19 WTAC #20 WTRX

Heavy Music-July, 1967 Broke Contemporaneously Peaks #2 WPAG #2 WAAM #2 #2 WKNR #2 CHLO 680 #2 WVMO #3 CKLW #3 WOHO #5 WTRX (First Chart Date)#5 WTOD

Only Heavy Music Bubbled Under. ARSA has the most reliable and complete chart archives. Many station charts are missing, especially WTAC, whose charts appeared in GO Magazine from late 1967 to 1969, which were bulky and were thrown out by archivers or their Moms. Several Top 40 stations went to AC around 1968, when a radio revenue downturn occurred for Top 40 stations, and had no published charts. A lot of Top 40 stations went from 24/5+ to 5 AM to Midnight. Top 40 became less adventuresome, except for the Top Bands. Cameo Parkway went out of business, putting Bob Seger's career on hold.
