They're still going on am 1250 and the app
Amen!1600 should've been silent years ago. When they were intermittently on, the audio was beyond horrible.
The last post on the WRBZ Facebook page is dated 1/25/23. That was just roughly a week and a half ago. Might have just been down for maintenance, but I've noted many times AM/FM broadcasters don't place much emphasis on social media, posting there etc anyway even though they should give such more priority.
Update: i've heard from a few insider friends that some issues have popped up and Little Engine broadcasting is currently unable to purchase the translator from current owner Patrick Sullivan.
which is odd because it's a pinned post from the murphy sam and jodi show, which moved to bluewater's Kiss 96.1 around that time.
there is no slacking on social media for Little engine, just look at Praise 96.5's engagement on social media. but i will agree with many stations in the river region suffer from a lackluster or no social media presence at all except for reposting weather info.
It's not just your area, there are literally hundreds of stations with moribund social media presences. I'm sure there are all kinds of good reasons for it, but it makes it seem like they don't know what they're doing (as far as audience interaction goes) or they just don't care.
On the other hand, I see lots of corporate radio station Facebook pages that have dozens of posts a day and they're getting a trickle of likes and no comments for years on end, so… maybe the small stations realize it's not worth the time sink to play to a miniscule crowd of viewers.
about time.95.5 is back on WRBZ if you're scoring at home or (you know the rest)
