WITH 1230 AM: Under New Management

I probably wouldn’t have thought to mention it, except that I posted a station programming lineup a while back, and people are still visiting the page.

Anyway, for the record: 95.1 FM WRBS (run by the folks behind River Valley Ranch near Hampstead, MD) has bought the AM station, re-dubbed it “WRBS AM” and is now using it as their “teaching and hymns” station so there’s more room for their “contemporary hits” on FM.

So… I don’t think you’ll be hearing Michael Medved on there anytime soon. :)

  1. What’s particularly interesting about this, if you read between the lines, is that management chose an AM station to move “teaching and hymns” too. AM is mono and is broadcast on amplitutde and FM is stereo and because it rides the frequency of the bandwidth, it can be. All that means is that music sounds better on FM and AM is better for speech and things not reliant on the nuance of tone.

    Obviously, the sound quality of the hymns and teaching is seen as unimportant. That’s the writing between the lines to me anyway. :-p
