mre29 1967 Posted March 15, 2025 Posted March 15, 2025 Too bad the WCLE call letters aren't available. 1
tyrannical bastard 4676 Posted March 15, 2025 Posted March 15, 2025 (edited) They could also relaunch WJKW...WJW's infamous place-holder calls from 1976-1985 because of Storer's sale of WJW radio. When WJW-AM changed to WRMR, Storer restored the calls to TV8 and they've been there ever since. But what's probably keeping that from not happening is an FM station in Athens, Ohio with the WJKW calls that brands themselves as "Ohio's Christian Superstation". Even though it would be perfectly legal for Nexstar to do so for WBNX. Another thought....WJCW? (exists as an AM station in Johnson City, TN owned by iHeart Media) Edited March 15, 2025 by tyrannical bastard 5

The calls are on an FM station at a small college in northwestern Massachusetts; Nexstar could probably work out a deal that would allow them to use WJJW-DT in exchange for a "modest" donation. 1
tyrannical bastard 4676 Posted September 3, 2025 Posted September 3, 2025 (edited) Since CW55 is now up and running, the old WBNX.com site is still active....and hasn't been updated since Winston turned over the keys to Nexstar. Wonder if Nexstar is ever going to take it down and redirect to Fox8.com with a sub-page? And the new CW page is up...https://fox8.com/cw55/ But WBNX.com is still alive and well as of this edit...do we need to raise ol' Ernest from the heavens to slay this demon?
