In this week’s issue… A “Nu” home for Santa in PA – Remembering Maine’s “Country Bob” and Boston’s “Clear” – Another AM gone in New England – New FM in Nova Scotia?
By SCOTT FYBUSH
*It was a later than usual start to Christmas music on the region’s airwaves this year, but as soon as Halloween was over, Forever Media was first out of the gate in central PENNSYLVANIA, flipping its top-40 “Nu” stations in York, Gettysburg and Hanover to all-Christmas.
It was late 2021 when Forever launched “Nu,” running locally-programmed hits on WNUU (92.7 Starview) in the York market after acquiring the former all-sports WONN from Hall Communications. Forever also flipped two classic hits AM/translator combos, WGET (1320/93.7 Gettysburg) and WHVR (1280/95.3 Hanover) to “Nu,” running a syndicated hot AC format.
Expect a new format on the “Nu” stations next year; Forever says “Santa” will ho-ho-ho out of the region on January 2.
And if you don’t have your Tower Site Calendar, now’s the time!
If you’ve been waiting for the price to come down, it’s now 30 percent off!
This year’s cover is a beauty — the 100,000-watt transmitter of the Voice Of America in Marathon, right in the heart of the Florida Keys. Both the towers and the landscape are gorgeous.
And did you see? Tower Site of the Week is back, featuring this VOA site as it faces an uncertain future.
Other months feature some of our favorite images from years past, including some Canadian stations and several stations celebrating their centennials (buy the calendar to find out which ones!).
We still have a few of our own calendars left – as well as a handful of Radio Historian Calendars – and we are still shipping regularly.
The proceeds from the calendar help sustain the reporting that we do on the broadcast industry here at Fybush Media, so your purchases matter a lot to us here – and if that matters to you, now’s the time to show that support with an order of the Tower Site Calendar. (And we have the Broadcast Historian’s Calendar for 2025, too. Why not order both?)
Visit the Fybush Media Store and place your order now for the new calendar, get a great discount on previous calendars, and check out our selection of books and videos, too!
