Lehightonians upset by 1160 switch

[markmayes2]

I knew something was up once Nassau switched the call letters from YNS to BYN. However, I was hoping it was just a call letter switch instead of a conversion like I had feared. Many people up in the Lehighton that I know are extremley PISSED that Nassau Droped ESPN Radio for the WBYN Simulcast. I don't really understand the move (money the obvious reason in some form/or possible 107.5 alive format switch) because 107.5 Alive comes in clearly in the Lehighton/Tamaqua/Thorpe Area. But for now, and probably permanently, its just 1230 & 1320 for ESPN Radio (which hardly reaches Lehighton)

I would imagine more people were upset by country being displaced for ESPN radio on 1160AM, no?

I think Nassau Selling their LV & Stroudsburg stations explains why 1160 was dropped as part of the ESPN Radio 3some in the Lehigh Valley. Tho, Bob you do have a minor point because people were pissed when Nassau switched the format from oldies to sports. Prior to Nassau's purchase of WYNS, previous ownership has switched the format back to oldies from country. Unfortunately it wasn't enough to save the station. <P ID="signature">______________
