Greenville gets female-oriented FM talk station

[perrykat]

At 6am this morning, 106.3 WGVC-FM launched Greenstone Media's satellite-delivered female talk station. Definately an interesting move given the area...I don't think they have but 4 or 5 affiliates, the ones they have are on AM in large cities. Don't see it working out well in a conservative area like Greenville (it's liberal-oriented) but definately a first. Any thoughts??

And what is this, the third format for this station in a year? lol

It will crash & burn. I predict oldies may come back to 106.3. If Entercom was smart, they'd move WORD to 106.3 & end that horrible AM simulcast!

I thought 106.3 was The Walk (Christian & Country). Does anyone know what happened to them?

It would be nice if they did move WORD to an FM station. But now that they are streaming I doubt they do that.

I sumbled on to this channel one day, the lady was saying that South Carolina's election results could not be trusted because SC uses the Deibold Electronic Election machine and since the Diebold family is partisan then the machines results are suspect at best.

It's good to have Dr. Joy Brown back... I remember her from 98.1 WPEK, when it was FM talk. She always gave such grounded, sensible advice.

I googled Lisa Birnbach and found an article about Greenstone:

(Is this the same Lisa Birnbach who put out "The Official Preppy Handbook" back in the '80s? Oh, my, how liberal. I stumbled across her show on Sunday morning... listened for about 1/2 hour and enjoyed it. ) I'll take Birnbach over shrill harpies like Kate O'Beirne and Ann Coulter any day. It'll be nice, IMO, to have something to balance out WORD.

Hey, I live in G'ville, and I'm fairly liberal.
