CD92.9 set to go online only at the end of the month.

Not sure they'll be able to come back to terrestrial for a fourth time. Unfortunate this has to happen to a great station.

I wonder what these guys did with the money they received from selling 101.1 to Ohio State years ago? I believe they sold that Class A stick for $4.8 million back in 2010.

I listened to this station a few times during its 102.5 incarnation and was always unimpressed by what I heard. It sounded like a low budget college station being held together by bubble gum and duct tape.

I am no fan of iFart's 105.7 in Columbus. Corporate sounding Modern AC-ish station.

The guy who sold the original 101.1 facility is long gone. The ones who are quarreling are his former GM and some hanger-on characters. The sale to OSU occurred in 2010, when the economy was really in the crapper.

It’s a real bitch to be a standalone station in the days of cluster sales. ESPECIALLY when you don’t own your own stick. I always thought they sounded better than the various brands iHeart put on the 105.7/106.7 signals over the last decade and a half, but it looks like they won the Alternative war just by hanging on.

If you think CD 101, 102, 92 sounded bad, you should give the new station a listen. I’ve streamed it a few times and your description of CD above is exactly what 93X sounds like to me. I’ve listened to a wide variety of modern rock over the last 25 years and I couldn’t recognize a single song they’ve played. It definitely sounds like an amateur operation.

The various CD operations had a couple decades of brand recognition in Columbus and probably couldn’t turn a profit. I’ll be surprised if this station makes it to 2025.

iFart has dropped its quest to install the WWCD call letters on its 105.7 in the Columbus area in recent days, and that's probably a good thing. Zero chance iFart would've put programming on 105.7 consistent with the WWCD brand. Their extremely commercialized & poppy (poopy?) flavor of alternative is far different from the heavily indie flavor featured on WWCD through the years.

Randy Malloy does NOT fuck around. Something tells me a lawyerly C&D with all the info on the copyrights he and his company have put a quick end to iHeart's dastardly deeds/
