A Mix of Stuff...

UPDATE 1:10AM 5/7: We're having trouble confirming whether it really is 99.9HD-2 that smooth jazz was bumped to. If you live in the Dayton area, have an HD radio and can confirm this for us, we'd appreciate either a comment or an email to tristatemediawatch@gmail.com, as it appears the 106.5 website's HD radio section hasn't been updated with the new information. Our original item is below...

We put our stuff into the TSMW Mixer today, and came out with an okay mix...

Dayton Bull: We haven't got too many sources in Dayton, but we are hearing through the Kiese Blog that CC/Dayton's 106.5 WDSJ went country today, bumping smooth jazz to 99.9's HD2 substation. This leaves WCIN-AM 1480 as the only smooth jazz station serving the local area on AM or FM's normal bands.

Bateman Out at 5?: WLWT/5 meteorologist John Bateman is leaving WLWT to pursue other interests, also according to the Kiese Blog.

Kiese says that Bateman has been working month-to-month since October, when Valerie Abati became the station's 5th met. He won't be replaced, says Brennan Donnellan, Ch 5 news director.

It looks like Bateman may try for the vacant Butler County EMA position.
