Actually, WKYG-Disney switched to WVNT-talk about three years ago but nobody noticed.
Same old, same old for PKB. WRVB trending downward. WDMX (ABC oldies) has stablized. WRZZ gets boost from re-tooling from CC's dead Fox to Burbach's hands-on attention and heritage approach. Otherwise it's quiet...too quiet.

You are correct, sir about it once being an awesome station. They owned the Mid-Ohio valley.Dr. Whiplash wrote:Man, what a station that was! (It must have been a little weird to work there during the Mall days, though. Talk about living in a fishbowl.) For anyone who missed the legendary WXIL there's a nice writeup and audio clips at reelradio.com.

WXIL in the mall was one great radio station, belive me I was part of it. Since I did morning drive it wasn't that weird. However across the hall was a store called "A Shop Called East" The manager Gerry Petros did nights on XIL as "The Cosmic Wonder Gerry Stone." Anyone know his whereaboutrs? I havent spoken to him in decades.

It was a shame that the now-past 30th anniversary of the station couldn't have been more celebrated. Think of it-as many of the jocks as could be assembled to show up in the mall for a night of reminiscing. By the way, Shish, I think it was you that one time fired off one liner after another after another (after another, ad nauseum).Uncle Shishkabob wrote:WXIL in the mall was one great radio station, belive me I was part of it.

WXIL also had a guy in long enough for a cup of coffee that went by 'The Unknown DJ' that played off the 'Gong Show's 'Unknown Comic,' the guy with the paper bag over his head. He was very loud and spoke very quickly. His career ended about as swiftly.
At one time, WXIL had some of the most fun-to-listen to jocks to be found anywhere, including the glory days of 14-WK (WKWK-FM) in Wheeling. I just pray that the pendulum swings back and allows for more personality radio-before it becomes too late.

It's just a name for a specific flavor of rock station.jag wrote:
What is "ACTIVE Rock?"
WAMX is an active rock.
Basically, it means you have a much higher percentage of current/recurrent than a mainstream rock like WKLC. It can also mean you lean heavily on the late 80's and early 90's for your gold titles.
However, the lines between all rock format types continue to blur more and more. An active rock in one town may be completely different from an active rock in another town.
Classic Rock
Heritage Rock
Mainstream Rock
Active Rock
Alternative
There used to be clear lines defining each of those "formats." Those lines were artificial in that they were created by radio programmers as opposed to being created by listener's music tastes.
