: : Bring back our 9FM and dump this WCPT simulcast crap!

: 1 signature so far. PROGRESSIVE!


There are two signatures now as of this morning. One from Wisconsin and one person from Belgium. I'm suuuure Newsweb will "get right on it."

The truth is that while Nine FM was quirky and interesting, and was home-brewed - it never garnered the attention it needed to in order to be fully embraced by the population.

Then when Jack FM arrived, it swept most of Nine's listeners. I know several friends who preferred Nine over Jack but ended up becoming Jack listeners because of the consistent signal availability.

The "Jack" format is sorta dying out all over the country, we're seeing most of those stations adjusting their playlists to be more classic rock/80s heavy. 9 won't return. Energy won't either. Both sad things.

RIP.
