Hey @SummitMediaCorp FYI WJSR seems to be having some issues… 🤔

[rvaFM @rvaFM]

@ubstudios @DXCentral Cool thanks for the info guys. Amazing a pirate has such a long history. Any idea if they broadcast regularly or just sporadically?

[rvaFM @rvaFM]

Hey @DXCentral! Was picking up curious signal on 1620 in my car tonight. Playing 60s/70s oldies and easy listening (Herb Alpert, Neil Diamond, etc.). No IDs, commercials or air breaks. Doesn’t seem to match any known stations in US or Cuba. Any idea what it could’ve been?

[rvaFM @rvaFM]

Anyone else watching #ALDS on @FS1 on @Sling TV? Was watching in the 5th inning and suddenly the broadcast cut back to the start of the game. Now I’m seeing the first inning, can’t fast forward. Is that just me or…? 🤷🏻‍♂️ // cc: @slinganswers

@classicrock965 Love you guys.
But love you even MORE when your HD radio signal is off (like it was for the past 2 weeks) 😫

Hey @Classic107FM Winnipeg...nice to hear you in Richmond VA today! 😎

[rvaFM @rvaFM]

@Eagle935 From Winkler, Manitoba also in now! 😎

[rvaFM @rvaFM]

Nice start to the E-skip season! Hearing Fargo's @BIG987FM @bob95fm & @Y94Official plus others from Minnesota and North Dakota here in Richmond, VA this afternoon!

[rvaFM @rvaFM]

@radioinsight Any word on what happens to WXGI/WTPS?

[rvaFM @rvaFM]

@radioinsight @Bbabybear01 @VARTV .@radioinsight Thoughts on what might have worked better?

Also, FWIW, meta tags on the The Awesome 100.9 website think they are “New Country” 🤣

[rvaFM @rvaFM]

Now a full 2 months past Christmas, and Santa is STILL rocking the holiday tunes on @SummitMediaCorp's 100.9 WJSR here in #Richmond. We all love the big guy, but the songs are getting a LITTLE stale.

@MChaseRadio can you shed any light on Santa’s future at WJSR?! 🤷🏻‍♂️🎅🏽 #rva #FM

[rvaFM @rvaFM]

January 12, and local WJSR still rolling with Christmas music as "Santa 100.9.” Now they are airing multiple bumpers saying Santa’s “gonna stick around a while longer.”

Starting to wonder if there’s a wrinkle in their format flip plans…🤔

[rvaFM @rvaFM]

Pure conjecture here, but WJSR seems like a juicy target for EMF. They could upgrade K-Love from its current home (98.9 WLFV) to WJSR’s stronger signal, then use 98.9 to bring sister Air1 to the #RVA metro.🤷🏻‍♂️

(Also relieves Summit from re-inventing the station every 2 years! 😎)

Hey @WVTFRADIOIQ, what are these instrumental music beds we’ve been hearing ~ 8:55-9am this week? Eclectic variety, 30-45 seconds each, then abruptly cuts to BBC news in progress. On 89.7 and 92.5 here in RVA, does NOT match your stream... 🤷🏻‍♂️

[rvaFM @rvaFM]

@radioinsight @VARTV Also: Funny to see Summit registering new domains for the next incarnation of 100.9. They never bothered to register any domains for Jack!

(Jack’s one-page website is built on Google Sites)

[rvaFM @rvaFM]

@rahtgee Awesome! Last night was the single most intense tropo event I’ve ever worked. Philly, NYC, Providence, NJ, CT, and (for the first time) Boston all in on FM. Still processing, details to come! 🤯

What DTV did you get from Boston?

[rvaFM @rvaFM]

🚨 Record DX Event 🚨
Strong tropo in Richmond , VA this morning: heard Dire Straits “Sultans of Swing” on 89.9, and then the jingle “89.9, The Wave”.

@899TheWave CHNS, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

At 861 miles, that’s our furthest log EVER via tropo (previous record: 446 miles) 🎉

[Nate Rathjen @rahtgee]

@rvaFM At it again today. Just had a DTV decode from Boston 😱
