Fortes Mentum - I Can't Go On Loving You

Psychedelic gem purchased from the record store today.

[ynkeesfn82]

I just saw the video on YouTube for What Does The Fox Say? I think the song is an f-ing abomination and I'm glad I'm not a Club DJ any more. And if I had to play the song I would slit my f-ing throat.

Um are any of them 770, 1450, or 1550?

I like 1550 and have listened on line many times.

[TheFugitive]

1550 and 770.    1450 has an FM simulcast that comes in better where I live.

You must be from Da Burgh n'at.

Nope. I used to work in radio and I'm still subscribed to some radio related email letters and that's how I found out about 1550 when they came on last year. I wish we had a station like 1550 where I live in Connecticut.

[TheFugitive]

1550 is a really cool story.   It was bought by two middle-aged techies who used to run a dial-up
ISP here.  They bought it out of bankruptcy for less than $15K.    And that little 1kW signal really gets out there.

When they closed the deal they stunted for a week with some really weird stuff.
Robert Preston's Chicken Fat.  Julius LaRosa's original version of Eh Cumpari. 
Arte Johnson from Laugh-In doing his "Verrrrry Interestink!" bit over a jazz piano riff.
Old comedy bits about KOS Radio and WWV (All Time, All The Time)

770 unfortunately does not stream.  Except for Frankie Day, who has some of his shows
on a website called The Sounds of Philly Radio.

Stunting can be an interesting.

In 1997 WPOP 1410 in Hartford, Connecticut played a wide-variety of music from Friday-Monday as they transitioned from all-talk to all-sports.

In 2000 News-Talk 96.5 in Philly ran an automated countdown interspersed with a bunch of nonsense from 9AM-5PM when they launched as all-80s 96-5 The Point.

I forget what year it was, but The Corporate entity that owns WAAF 107.3 in suburban Boston bought WILD 97.7 in Brockton and ran an automated countdown similar to 96.5 in Philly above before they relaunched 97.7 as a simulcast of WAAF. This was after a post 9/11 world and unfortunately for WAAF, many people who heard the automated countdown on 97.7 FM thought terrorists had taken over the station and were plotting to blow it up literally and cops and swat teams were called in. The countdown was "T Minus 5 hours, 23 mins, 49 seconds and counting. T Miuse 5 hours 23 mins 45 seconds and counting." Then some kind of nonsense about Boston.

In 2001 ESPN  took over 1050 AM WEVD in NYC and played "We will Rock You/We are the Champions" on a loop along with other sports related stuff before the launched ESPN 1050.

A few years back Red Wolf Broadcasting bought 97.5 a low-power repeater of WILI out of Willimantic, CT and for a few days they ran "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano on a loop before they launched as Spanish Bomba 97.5 (now Bomba 97.1)


Then some stations don't stunt at all before they change. Just before 5PM on a Friday in March 2001 93.7 FM in Hartford, CT played "Last Dance" by Donna Summer. Then when the song ended the DJ came on and said "This WAS Dancin' Oldies Z-93.7 WZMX Hartford." Then there was dead air for a few moments before an interlude began introducing the new station began. They became Hip-Hop HOT 93.7

Before 93.7 FM went hip-hop in March of 2001 Hartford had 2 AM Stations that played Hip-Hop and R&B - JAMZ 910 and BLAZE 990. On a Friday Night in May 2001 around 11:05PM engineers at Mega Broadcasting (owners of JAMZ 910 at the time) abruptly disabled the JAMZ 910 studio and began piping in the Spanish Top 40 format from their sister station down the hall MEGA 1230.

In May 2007 my friend lost his lease of WXCT AM 990 in Southington. It was previously announced the station would begin an unknown Spanish Format on Friday Morning at 6AM, well the day before at 3:30PM right after the Dr. Laura show went into a commercial break my friend pulled the plug on the station and switched it over to the new Spanish Christian format.

When the old WESA-FM was sold to the company that runs at least a dozen "Froggy" country stations here
in PA they stunted with loop of croaking frogs.  Recorded live at some pond at night. That ran for days.

Then when Duquesne University got out of the radio business and decided to sell their FM, the new
owners grabbed the old WESA call letters.

I heard that the new owners of 1550 got in there and learned that the lines from the studio in the
Bloomfield section of Pittsburgh to the transmitter in Braddock were going bad.  So they put together
a 2 hr. stunt loop and ran it from the transmitter until repairs could be made.

By then their new call letters, WZUM, had been approved.  At one time used by a rock-and-roll station on the
other side of town that ended up playing Catholic programming until they lost their towers.  (they were
sitting on public land in Crafton Borough and the city council there decided they were tired of trying
to collect back rent.  So they voted to evict them and tear the towers down)

That 1550 stunt loop was so weird it had the whole town buzzing.
