After stunting all weekend with Christmas Music, iHeartMedia’s 93.3 W227CX North Palm Beach/92.1 WRLX-HD2 West Palm Beach has returned to Country as “Wave 93.3“.
The station is now being programmed separately from “Wave 92.7” WAVW Stuart/Port St. Lucie exclusively targeting the West Palm Beach market. The daytime airstaff remains identical on both stations with Bobby Bones in mornings, Heath West in middays, and Eric Hunter in afternoons, while Premium Choice content will be heard the rest of the day.

Original Report 3/29: iHeartMedia’s 93.3 W227CX North Palm Beach/92.1 WRLX-HD2 West Palm Beach has dropped its simulcast of Country “Wave 92.7” WAVW Stuart/Port St. Lucie and is now stunting with Christmas Music.
W227CX had begun simulcasting WAVW in January 2016 to give an in-market Country competitor to Alpha Media’s 103.1 WIRK. It never made much of any impact in the market, registering a mere 0.1 share in each of the last three PPM monthlies.
Give me a break! It’s the Lenten season, and an inappropriate time for Christmas music. We should be focusing on Jesus’ passion, death and resurrection instead. I don’t mind Christmas music from mid-summer to Christmas, but please not now.
It’s just a stunt.
