No worries. I enjoy reading your posts.
People today are not people from 1988 when WQHT was 103.5 and then 97.1 - this generation and I mean people up to the 54+ demo now have 0 clue about call signs. Every station is a slogan. Nearly every stream is a slogan. That is why 105.9 only announces WCFS once an hour. It is a legal requirement from the FCC, no longer needed for ratings thanks to PPM meters.
What does WBMX-Fm mean in heritage? Nothing to what 102.7 FM was. 🤷🏻♂️
I sat down and broke bread with a good friend of mine that posts on here once in a while, Stereo6969. He nailed something that dovetails with the status of AM radio. WGN-AM keeps drilling home "WGN sounds so much more better on the App". It is the writing on the wall. Get an FM signal or move to IP. Even FM days are numbered. Just like Shortwave radio, CB's, even Ham radio.
Life will go on John, regardless of what can or would occur. But, the days of sticking your brand on the dial and being proud of call signs are long gone.
