1270 to Begin

[MWmetalhead]

Waab's station launched a Twitter page on April 25. Aside from the opening post (which received 1 whole like - LMAO!!!), there have been no others.

This new station was to employ multiple local hosts. Caller driven local shows require call screeners and board ops, too. Then, there's the question of - how do ya pay all these people, not to mention the LMA lease payment??? That requires sale of advertising.

I have a sneaking suspicion advertisers aren't (weren't?) lining up out the door seeking to buy time.

Isn’t the station required to provide a board op as part of a brokered/lease agreement? Anything else would indeed come out of Parker’s pocket.

I’ve been out of town the past few days so thanks for the update. May 16th sounded like a strange day to plan a debut- wouldn’t a Monday make more sense?

A new day, and still no Sports Rap 1270.

Waab's buddies in the local media tripped over themselves to report on the upcoming launch of the station when the concept was announced last February or March.

Now that the promised launch date has come and gone without an actual launch, there's nothing but crickets.

New launch date is June 3. Any bets on if it's postponed again?

Thanks for the update. I'll give it about a 10 percent chance of launching June 3.

Maybe it will be a symbolic Juneteenth launch?

If this project ever gets off the ground, I give it six months tops for life span.
