Back to this...I am shocked that WNDZ did not renew with WSFI over the summer. Why was that? That was a stupid move, since that was most of their income/air time.
I remember when El Sembrador started in the fall of 2007. That was a huge shock. That lasted a long time. I left the state for a while (11/14/15-8/19/17). When I came back, 750 still had that on, but left the weekends (mostly) alone. Dukat (what I used to listen to) was on, at normal time (4-5 PM).
Prior to that (fall 2007), their schedule was heavily brokered. I remember all the Serbian/other language shows, during the weekdays. Serbian Radio Chicago, Tamo Daleko, and other shows that were later on 1080, were originally on 750. Talk about getting old.
Okay, that makes sense. What's odd is...both signals are daytimers. I guess I would agree to just buy 1110 and make it my own. That was the case of El Sembrador.
So...here are we are now, and what timing it has been. Nothing sounds worse than 750, on one of many shortened days (especially cloudy ones), with the sad piano on a loop.
I remember listening to Dukat, or the other shows (for fun), and experiencing the daily sign off (whenever I chose to check out 750). Sometimes, the Serbian folk music added to the thrill of it. 15-30 minutes of a show, before sign off, at the end of the year.
It was fun while it lasted, but I think it's safe to say...an early prediction (now), for 2025 is...WNDZ is finished and gone. Unless they get another good buyer of airtime (like El Sembrador, or WSFI)...it's another death of a station.
