101.9 WTMX-FM HD2 Skokie Chicago - "We just play good rock"

Passed along by my #1 homie, Stereo6969.

Just when we were griping the HD2's were all being turned off. Anyone know if this is feeding a translator that is parked or being built up?

The ID is... "WTMX-FM HD2 Skokie Chicago - We just play good rock".

Stereo6969 said: Kind of a weird mix of music they’re playing everything from Willie Nelson to Bob Seger to some other stuff I never heard, sounds like an XRT format, commercial free.

Anyone else caught this, or have any more info?

I can't lock WTMX's HD signal anymore because of the 101.7 translator in Milwaukee

I would guess they are leasing it either for a translator or a stream.

Aside from WDRV HD2 (WWDV HD2 has been off for a couple years now) Hubbard doesn't program sub channels anymore in Chicago or most anywhere else

Z - I gave it a listen on my way home. They played a song by Dave Alvin, Cotton Mather (I must be getting old) but thankfully a Dire Straits song.

Currently ID'ing as The Spot on 101.9 HD-2 Skokie.

ilgrant, thanks. I have not listened since March 3 when I posted it. Looks like they changed the positioner of the station as you indicated.

Figures that it’s 101.9 WTMX adding HD2… I am 1 mile from Dontron’s 102.3 WYCA with super noisy IBOC hash (HD Radio) alongside it. No way will I get WTMX HD2. 😖
