The Roar (2021-)
Research needed.
Note: Conflicts with WCSX at 93.5FM and CJAM at 99.1FM.
The hourly station identification claims “94.7 WCSX-HD2 Birmingham, W228CJ Detroit, and W256EA Birmingham”.
Notes
- Out of respect, I'll leave these here:
- Sabrina Black, update reporter at WDFN, died on March 20, 2006 of leukemia and lymphoma.16)
- This article was partially inspired by the xkcd comic, "Challengers" (explainxkcd), who oddly lists WDFN on their map despite it being a dead sports station at the time.
- The other reason is that Wikipedia is "not a directory", so they doesn't normally retain schedules.
