Northeast

Alternative/WCYT (91.1fm, Lafayette Township) is expected to return to the air this coming week. Transmitter woes have silenced the station since late March. Station officials tell us that plans are in place to begin broadcasting 24 hours a day and commence an Internet feed.

A petition to deny was filed over Family Worship Center (a.k.a. Jimmy Swaggart)'s translator application on 89.7fm in Bluffton.

A correction: Matt Goshert only is the Webmaster for Alternative/WEJE (96.3fm, Churubusco) (he is also doing mid-days in the interim - that was correct). Also, Travis Meyer does both morning show producer and production director duties.

Where are they now? Former CHR/WZPL (99.5fm, Greenfield/Indianapolis) night guy Rob Blair is now a news anchor at FOX affiliate KCBA-TV (Channel 35, Monterey, California). According to AllAccess, Blair anchors the 10pm news.
