It's official - 1270 AM, WUSW, is now all ultra-conservative talk. I, for one, will miss being able to hear WECK over-the-air with a semi-decent signal, although it's still available online. This station may make some sense for the Buffalo market, which after all is really all that counts, but to me, it's a real loss and a waste of a frequency.
They really WECK-ed the place!

I thought I was the only person that would like to have joked that the calls stood for WRECK, but misspelled . I felt that way back when WECK reduced the 70s and early 80s spins on the station though. I suppose the new format on 1270 will "trump" oldies though

Better WRECK than Dreck, which is what's on 1270 now.

I wonder if Ostrander, in his infinite wisdom, will now subscribe to a ratings service to trumpet and verify the performance of 1270. I am not holding my breath. 🤨

The WECK 1230 signal was actually quite listenable in Oakville today.

1270 barely moved the needle when it doing the same stuff as Talk 1270.
All they did was swap out some conservative talkers for OTHER conservative talkers(albeit better known ones).
Do you really THINK ratings are going to improve?

I was more looking forward to reading Ostrander's spin on the facts over in the Buffalo / Niagara Falls / Rochester subforum at Radio Discussions. 😁

Curious. So the MAGA degenerates at WBEN are about to have their hundreds of MAGA degenerate listeners drawn away by other MAGA degenerates at the competing outfit.
I sip my tea.

I'll likely laugh harder at some of the opinions on this station than I ever did when Funny820 existed.
