I was not a bit happy when I punched up 97.1 HD2 yesterday and heard The Bone. Way to go Cox... leave the Christian music on 94.9 and the small playlist and outdated AAA format on 107.3 but yank the 80's and 90's old school alternative that isn't being played anywhere else on the dial. I'll get to what might be happening in a moment.... But have y'all checked 105.5's HD2? YEP! Oldies is gone too! Now, Big Machine Radio (country music) is airing on that frequency. What's that all about???
OK... so awhile back there was some chatter or talk that Cox had obtained 2 translators in the area. Ironically, they're on 102.5 in the Northern listening area (maybe Pasco?) and on 97.1 in possibly the Sarasota area? So anyway... my guess that if this is indeed true, that makes sense to feed the Sarasota 97.1 translator with 102.5 HD2 and the Pasco 102.5 translator with 97.1 HD2 does it not? Has anyone heard or remember any of this talk?
