Columbus 97.1

Has anyone else noticed that 97.1 is now the old 1460. Great move. You can finally hear the station after 6 pm, and outside of 270. One interesting side not about the change, the switch from AM to FM and higher quality sound makes all of their voices sound completely different. I didn't even recognize Hooley in the afternoon.

Re: Columbus 97.1

Sometimes it's cheaper to produce something you already have instead of new content.

WHIO did that in Dayton. Smartest move ever. I can now hear Flyer games. WING should do the same. There's only 26 other hip-hop stations in Dayton.

Re: Columbus 97.1

I absolutely love 97.1 now! You'are definitely right improbus, they do sound totally different now that it's clear.

Re: Columbus 97.1

The only thing this does in my opinion is allow us to hear OSU BBall games clearly at night....the rest of the local content on BNS is a joke....

Agree, but last night it was nice to hear the Thad Matta call-in show on the way home from work.

It will be nice during football season too, when they do the Buckeye Roundtable.

Did 1460 go away? I loved that station when I was up at OSU and listen to it every time I am driving through the area.

It's pretty much 97.1 now, only it picks up MUCH better reception.

Re: Columbus 97.1

goreds2---I will agree with you on the Matta and Buckeye Roundtable shows--Keels, Lachey, Herbsteit and especially Ronnie Stokes do a very good job---but Hooley, Ricordati, Torgensen and especially Speilman are unlistenable to me...

They're fine, they are just and meatheads. I just wish they weren't so dismissive of everything not titled "Ohio State".

Re: Columbus 97.1

I am a big Ohio State fan---but 1460's constant yapping about anything Scarlet and Gray turns me off, and Speilman is just such a hypocrite I cant take anything he says seriously....I prefer "Shark on Sports" (103.9) and the Bucksline crew (610) over any of the regular yakkers on 1460...
