DCRTV.com reported that WTGB 94.7 FM is dropping its classic rock format and going to adult contemporary, FRESH 94.7. Now I will have one less station to listen to on my commute. This will be particularly tough in the morning.
I liked 94.7’s “world class rock” format of last year. It was flawed yes — (can you really play New Order and Led Zepplin back-to-back?), but overall it was pretty good. Initially, the return to a straight classic rock format was not something I was too enthusiastic about because who needs to hear more .38 Special? However, it got better and for a couple of months I could count on hearing either Bruce Springsteen and/or Rush on my commutes. Perhaps that is why they had trouble attracting listeners.
Marc Fisher of The Post was not too happy about the change either.
One bright spot if you have HD Radio (does anybody) they have something more like “The Globe” format running on the second 94.7 channel.
