Pamal Broadcasting flipped Alternative “Alt 104.9” WINU Altamont/Albany NY to Classic Country “Big Country” on Monday afternoon.
With the flip at 5pm, WINU began simulcasting 1230 WMML/97.9 W250CC Glens Falls, which itself had moved to those signals from 107.1 WKBE Corinth back in March. The move creates an Albany market flanker to sister “100.9/107.1 The Cat” WKLI-FM Albany/WKBE Corinth against Townsquare Media’s 107.7 WGNA-FM.
The Alternative format registered a mere 0.5 share in the August 2023 Nielsen Audio ratings. WKLI-FM’s 3.6 share trailed WGNA-FM’s 6.0, which was tied for first in the market with Pamal CHR “Fly 92.3” WFLY.
