BARB - Big Apple Radio Blog

As an addendum to the previous blogpost, R&R disclosed only six of the 25 CBS stations partnering with Vibes Media with their text messaging technology. And they were gracious enough to list the other cities participating in this project.

So here's a prediction of the remaining 19 stations that will be part of this plan... First, notice that virtually all of the cities in which there is a Free-FM station are in this project. Yet KLSX in L.A. is not listed as a participant in the original story. Anyway, I'm sticking to my guns and predicting that the other text-radio guinea pigs will be Free FM stations, sports and other formats.

And the nominees are:

Atlanta - WVEE-FM - Urban
Baltimore - WHFS-FM - Free-FM
Boston - WBCN-FM - Alternative
Cleveland - WXRK-FM - Alternative
Dallas - KLLI-FM - Free-FM
Detroit - WKRK-FM - Free-FM, WXYT-AM - Sports
Houston - KILT-AM - Sports, KILT-FM - Country
Philadelphia - WYSP-FM - Free-FM, WIP-AM - Sports
Phoenix - KZON-FM - Free-FM
Pittsburgh - WZPT-FM - Hot AC
San Diego - KSCF-FM - Free-FM
San Francisco - KIFR-FM - Free-FM, KLLC-FM - Hot AC
Seattle - KBKS-FM - CHR/Pop
Tampa - WQYK-FM - Country
Washington, DC - WJFK-FM - Free-FM
