Domain Insight 10/24: A Hot Return In Wilkes-Barre? Another Audacy Move On The Block?

[membership level="2,3"] Is Cumulus CHR " 97.1/95.7 BHT " WBHT Mountain Top/WBHD Olyphant PA returning to its original " Hot 97 " branding following the registration of Hot971Radio.com by the company? 97.1 WBHT had utilized that brand in the 1990s prior to the addition of the 95.7 simulcast in 2002 to serve both sides of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market. Does Cumulus make WBHD a simulcast partner of Country " 93.7 Nash-FM " WSJR Dallas/Wilkes-Barre should that happen? Cumulus has no other signals on 97.1 in its holdings. Ahead of the launch of Audacy's " 94.7 The Block " in New York on Friday, squatters claimed 947TheBlock.com , 947TheBlockNY.com , and TheBlock947.com on Thursday forcing Audacy to register 947TheBlockNYC.com . Keeping that in mind, do we keep an eye on the claiming last week of 1043TheBlock.com for a potential rebranding of Audacy's similarly formatted " 104.3 Jams " WBMX Chicago or flip of Alternative " 104.3 The Shark " WSFS Miami? Is iHeartMedia planning a rebranding at Country " Whistle 100 " WSSL-FM Gray Court/Greenville SC or flip of one of their other outlets on the 100.5 frequency? The company has registered Country1005.com which is presently redirecting to WSSL. Of the company's other signals on 100.5, the only other possibility would appear to be Hot AC " Mix 100.5 " WDVI Rochester NY struggling with a 2.2 share, while Audacy's Country 92.5 WBEE leads the market with an 8.6 share. Fowler Media Partners Country " 98.3 The Coyote " WFHT Garrison KY/Portsmouth OH has registered GraceFM983.com portending a shift to a Christian format. The station has also applied for a call letter change to WZGR. Swick Broadcasting has registered HotFM927.com for what is currently their " Fox Sports Angola " 92.7 W224BY/100.3 WLKI-HD3 Angola IN. Anonymous Registrations: 927Party.com , 959TheOutlaw.com , 973TheCoyote.com , 979TheCoyote.com , 979TheOutlaw.com , 979ThePenguin.com , and Joy945.com . [/membership]
