OT: Oh God! WCCC as you know it dies today...

What has me thinking about it is the upcoming trip to Charleston after Christmas. It would be nice to not have to search around while driving. I just need to do a little research on how it all works.

I was a Walrus and Wacky 102 kid. Also had to get my KC101 Casey Kasem fix every Sunday night.

Is there a market in CT for Christian Rock? Radio 104 became hip hop for a while but it ended up going back to alternative, I guess we shall see.

Nevermind, I saw that the station was bought and it wasn't the current owner changing the format. Looks like it is changing for good unless it is sold again.

This wasn't a typical sale, to a larger corporation or media conglomerate like clear channel or entercom. This group specializes in "adult contemporary christian rock". Between "K-Love" and "Air1" they don't have a lot of penetration into New England when compared to other areas of the country and almost no powerful stations.

Eh WCCC has sucked for years. Even before they started playing classic rock, they were playing terrible modern rock like Puddle of Mudd. No surprise.

While I don't usually go out of my way to listen to, say, Avenged Sevenfold, I liked the idea of having one radio station that would play Avenged Sevenfold. (Then Puddle of Mudd comes on and I change to 104.1).

Maybe they would have lasted a few more years if they hadn't turned into PLR II.

Best station in CT is 95.1 for good old rock and roll. Tough to get in at times in central CT but my top choice now for music, if I am not using pandora

As far as im concerned it was a sad day for radio in CT. CCC broke new bands in hard rock. I kept them on the dial when they went classic rock but rarely stopped to listen. I listened to all 5 hours of the "going away show" and honestly, it made me sad. All the big gigs, ozzfests, and hard rock shows I had been to wont be around any more and that's crap. I poured out some liquor Friday night.
