Daily Domains 1/12: FM News/Talk Coming To Detroit?

[membership level="2,3"] Is iHeartMedia planning on launching a new Spoken Word in Detroit? Or are they just trying to push CBS to make a move? iHeart has registered DetroitNews1067.com and 1067NewsRadio.com for what is now Classic Rock " 106.7 The D " WDTW-FM. A flip to News or News/Talk would place WDTW-FM in competition with Cumulus' News/Talk 760 WJR and CBS Radio's News 950 WWJ , which had a 6.7 and 5.4 share respectively in the December Nielsen Audio ratings. Perhaps in a partnership with Digital First Media's The Detroit News ? However, with CBS recently dropping CHR in Houston and Philadelphia, is iHeart trying to prod the company into not shifting CHR " 98.7 Amp Radio " WDZH to something that would hurt AC 100.3 WNIC ? We speculated on such a move earlier this week. WDTW-FM placed eighteenth in the ratings with a 2.4 share in the most recent monthly. With the upcoming flip of 1470 WNYY Ithaca NY to " Pure Oldies ", Saga Communication has also registered to potentially bring the brand to Springfield IL. News/Talk 1240 WTAX recently moved its FM translator from 107.5 to 93.5 and plans on launching PureOldies1075.com at the end of January. Cox Media Group Sports " CBS Sports 860 " KONO San Antonio could be heading to a new format. Cox registered 86KONO.com perhaps returning the staton to Oldies and its old Top 40 branding from the 1960s and 70s. With Townsquare Media Active Rock " Planet Radio 105.1 " KFTE Lafayette LA adding the syndicated Walton & Johnson Show on Monday, January 16 will the station segue to Classic Rock to better fit the show? The company has registered ClassicRock1051.com . iHeart has also registered 969TheBullFM.com this week. The likely destination is AC "96.9 My-FM" 1420 WACT/96.9 W245BR Tuscaloosa AL. Anonymous Registrations: 985TheRiver.com and Pop1009.com . Also anonymous registrations for 1061Fresh.com , 1061RNB.com , 1061Smooth.com , 1061TheBass.com , 1061TheTouch.com , 1061Wild.com , Fresh1061.com , Smooth1061.com , TheBass1061.com , and TheTouch1061.com point to Beasley Media's upcoming relaunch of 1330 WRCA Watertown/106.1 W291CZ Boston MA. However between the recent flip of Entercom's 97.7 WKAF to Urban AC, that they did not come from Beasley's usual registrar, and use of brands used by a local Boston pirate and AM Urban AC make it doubtful these are legitimate registrations for WRCA.
