Cume-u-Less should've never moved country off 94.5.

What was routinely a 3 or 4 share country station on 94.5 became a 1 to 2 share country station on 107.3.

All the effort to secure a new tower lease for 97.5 seems like a total waste now. I wonder if Cumulus will try terminating the lease early (or if they'll simply allow it to go into default)?

Me and you both know 97.5 will become a christian station, Air1 maybe

I tuned the radio briefly on Friday afternoon around noon and quite sure I ran by both stations on the air as normal (I didn't pay close attention given the fact they're just normal locals). I was told about this news by 4pm that same day and checked the radio and both 97.5 and 99.1 were already gone by then. That's the best thing Cumulus has done in a while here.

At home in Fremont, 97.5 is open (like it mostly was during the long period of 97.5 being atop the Montague water tower) and 99.1 is back to being WMYX. I hope they keep it this way or take their sweet time if they want to sell anything. At my regular DXing site in Hart, I should be back to hearing Boost Radio on 97.5 again, though 99.1 has always been The Mix there, so nothing special there. Hearing these stations gone just made my day on Friday.

Thanks for that correction. I checked my messages and see that I checked the stations instead at 8:12 Friday night and they were off. Guess I just missed it. I bet they just abruptly turned off without any mention of anything too.
