I hear there was a flip? It's a Jesus station (shocker) where I am. Anyone know what's up?

90s/00s Active/Alternative hybrid as "The Core." Dave and Chuck the Freak, syndicated from WRIF, is the morning show. First song was "Crush" by Stone Temple Pilots.

Looks like a "next generation of classic rock" with an Alternative flavor. No '80s butt rock and no mumble rap/bedroom pop, which should please many on this board.

Whoever fixed the thread title, thank you. I was on a job site when I heard and didn't have all the information yet.

I'm hearing the Neil Young cut right now! Good shit!

V/O is the same as WRIF, also.

I'm digging it so far. I'll go B+ early on.

Going to have to listen tomorrow on line after Z93’s Morning After as I’m out of market and have a local station at 106.1. Playlist listed online reminds me of a combination of SXM’s Turbo and Lithium and doesn’t appear that bad.

Still think they’re somewhat foolish, with the tiny signal they have, to go up against Z93 and their signal. Personally, they should have flipped to Classic Country as they would have a strangle hold on the country market in the Tri Cities and could have really hurt KCQ

There are very few people complaining on their Facebook page about the format change.

Still don’t think a 4,400 watt 106.3 is going to do much damage to a 39,000 watt 93.3. 106.3 doesn’t get out a lot past the Tri Cities.

I find it hilarious that Alpha is boosting that their other 3 stations are in the Top 4 in overall ratings while Z93 placed 3rd. Last book was a fluke IMO as the Cumulus stations have consistently been the top rated 12+ stations.
