Thursday's story on the Indiana RadioWatch blog (http://indianaradio.blogspot.com) read:
A format change brews at WGRL (93.9fm, Fishers) as they have been playing TV theme songs since Monday (5 July). A David Lindquist story in this morning's Indianapolis Star says that the station will go Contemporary Christian as
"The Song," however a search of domain names reveals a URL registered to Susquehanna Indianapolis that suggests the new "Jack" format may be the real winner. Which is the decoy and which is the truth? We'll find out tomorrow morning.
This morning, we posted a brief followup:
After five days of non-stop TV theme songs (appropriately ended with "WKRP in Cincinnati"), WGRL (93.9fm, Fishers) launches at 6:45am yesterday (9 July) as "93.9, The Song" with a contemporary Christian format.
