Where's the Breeze? (KWBL HD2 Denver)

[ZantennaG1]

They have been conspicously missing for the last couple of days, and so I wonder if this is a thing iHeart is doing all over the country or if there's technical issues at 106.7 The Bull with their HD2, or if it's just me. I hope the Breeze can make a comeback.

It's probably technical issues. HD stations and/or their subchannels can and occasionally do disappear, only to return in a week or so.

Could be coincidence, but The Breeze is also gone from Baltimore‘s WPOC. The station has only been running HD1.

The Breeze is also gone from Tampa’s 100.7 HD3.

I met with the former engineer of that station last week, he said it’s a problem with the HD transmitter

Maybe more than coincidence: The Breeze is now gone from KMYI-HD3-94.1 San Diego.
That HD3 signal has been eliminated for now.
Could iHeart be planning some other format to roll out on these former Breeze outlets?
Hmmm...

 

[dxsphere]

I've received multiple reports of multiple HD subchannels carrying The Breeze being down. It may not be a coincidence.

For those who need their fill, The Breeze continues to be heard online at:

I can confirm that KESZ HD-3 The Breeze Phoenix, Az is off as well.

 

[ZantennaG1]

Thank you all for the responses, there seems to be a pattern here. Will be interesting to see what iHeart does with these subchannels.

Now one of the main signals for The Breeze is gone: 106.1 FM Philadelphia.
(New format to be determined; stunting began Tue. 3/8/2022.)

KBEB Sacramento might be next.

What are some possible replacements for the breeze, even?

 

[ZantennaG1]

So if 106.1 The Breeze in Philadelphia is stunting to false start their competitors, what does that mean for the dozens of Breeze affiliates in the US, again?

Gave DCs WASH-FM HD3 a check and it's still The Breeze. Caught the top of hour ID and WPOC-HD2 was still among the list, along with a bunch of others.

iHeart may not be as impassioned on the Breeze format, so expect some of them to change formats. However, the Soft ACs in San Francisco and Chicago are doing well.

KBEB Sacramento might be next.

6+ numbers do look good, and the cume isn't terrible either. But the demos may tell another story.

KEGL HD2 here in Dallas/Ft. Worth dropped The Breeze about a month ago.

FWIW, WSSL-HD2 in Greenville, SC has dropped The Breeze as of today for a “club jam country” format.

 

[Lester_the_NightFly]

Twin Cities KEEY HD-2 "the Breeze" channel it not even broadcasting. Been off or a few weeks.

FWIW, WSSL-HD2 in Greenville, SC has dropped The Breeze as of today for a “club jam country” format.

What's that? Today's hits and recurrents spun club DJ-style, minus the ballads and acoustic-sounding songs? Or just uptempo, danceable country from '90s through today?
