BIG 105.3/1570 just announced on their Facebook Page that they are leaving terrestrial radio and going internet only.

How the hell are their listeners supposed to find them unless they announced it over the last month on air.
There's also a notice at their website: https://www.big1053.com/
Apparently that's not part of the sale, at least for now.
The same people who will be running from WROR in droves....
Are we talking about the same 1570AM WNSH that was at Pickering Wharf in Salem, MA back in the day?
Too bad 1220 WQUN here in Hamden CT did not go the internet route instead of signing off altogether.The cheapskate idiots at QU probably would not waste their big money on that either.I hope they realize they just screwed their sports dept for no more game coverage.At lease they have some coverage with the internet if they went the internet route...... .
More people probably watch Quinnipiac hockey on ESPN Plus than listen to it on radio. Either way, you're talking about triple digits. Lack of a radio contract won't make a bit of difference.
Besides, QU sports might still wind up on flea-powered WQAQ, right?

I work with a young man. 2019 graduate of QU. When I told him QU was shutting down WQUN (AM), but keeping WQAQ for student use he told me he had never even heard of WQAQ (FM) or WQUN (AM). He has satellite radio in his car, but usually listens to Kiss 95.7 and KC 101.
