Oh man, I love The Edge! I would listen to it through the static in westside Kalamazoo. Why do they always have to kill the Alternative stations in this area?!?!

Those are all fair points. 102.5 was tied pretty closely to WFGR outside of the afternoon shift if I remember correctly.

Will Free Beer and Hot Wings be heard soon on 107.7? (I sure hope not).

Nope. WGRD has a good signal into Kalamazoo, with some degrading into Portage.

By the way, contrary to the press release's implied claim, this is not a newly available format for Kalamazoo. 95.5 has been Urban AC for years. I guess Townsquare doesn't want the truth to get in the way of a good story.

Since 1997, if memory serves. It was daytime only until WNWN-FM’s programming was replaced by The Touch. 1560 was daytime-only, so the translator was a big help.

Thank you! I agree.
