After moving to digital only on October 31, WWCD Limited Alternative “CD 102.5” has relaunched in Columbus on a new frequency.
As we first indicated in our 11/12 Domain Insight, the station relaunched on Saturday evening as “CD 92.9” on ICS Communications’ 1580 WMYC/92.9 W225CS Columbus. The station will also be heard on 1550 WDLR/92.9 W225CM Delaware OH beginning January 1, 2021. WMYC had been simulcasting WDLR since July and they rebranded as Classic Hits “My 92.9” over Labor Day Weekend.
“CD 92.9” will be returning to a much different competitive landscape. As opposed to being on a Class B FM signal, the station will be heard on two translators covering portions of the Columbus market. It has also gained a new competitor as iHeartMedia debuted “105.7 Columbus Alternative” WXZX this past Monday.
In a Facebook post announcing the relaunch, owner Randy Malloy commented:
Central Ohio’s favorite radio stations, CD101.1 and CD102.5, are now at 92.9 FM! Same team; same music; same things you loved about CD101 and 102.5, but on a new signal. CD 92.9 FM on-air in Columbus, and soon, Delaware as well!
As CD102.5 was leaving the FM airwaves, our social media platforms lit up. We reached nearly 1,000,000 people across our social media platforms, and we read as many comments as possible so that we could learn what you truly want. We learned how much you missed having us on the FM dial, and we knew we had to find a way to come back. Luckily, we did!
We couldn’t wait to get back on-air, which comes with some notes we want you to be aware of. Our Columbus signal – now coming from the top of the Huntington building downtown – is currently operating at reduced capacity as some construction finishes up. We’ll be putting out a much stronger signal in the days ahead! But we’re not stopping there – at the beginning of 2021, our signal will also broadcast at 92.9 FM in Delaware as well!
Two signals, two cities, same frequency; bigger, and better than ever.
We’re looking forward to your continued support! You can find us on social media @cd929fm, and if you like, you can buy one of our new CD 92.9 FM shirts to show your pride! If you use a product or service that you heard on the air, please thank our advertisers for supporting us. If you own a business or are the decision-maker for a business, talk to us about advertising on our radio station. Of course, the easiest thing is to keep on listening.Thank you from all of us, from the deepest depth of our hearts. We are truly humbled by your support, and we can’t thank you enough for all your words of encouragement. We will work as hard as ever, and then harder, to continue to be that trusted voice on the FM dial as Central Ohio’s ORIGINAL alternative station. We couldn’t be happier that we’re back on the FM dial—all thanks to your support.
Thank you for continuing to rock local,
Randy Malloy and the entire team at the new CD 92.9 FM
