SINCLAIR COMMUNICATIONS Sports WTAR-A (SPORTS RADIO 850)/NORFOLK has added an FM simulcast at 96.5 FM via W243DJ. The translator had been relaying a "soft oldies" format branded "VINTAGE 96.5" from sister WUSH-HD2.
Owner BOB SINCLAIR issued a statement saying, "We feel that SPORTS RADIO 850 now has one of the one best lineups of any sports talk radio station in the US, and we just felt it was time to reach an even larger audience by simulcasting the station on 96.5FM.... I know that VINTAGE 96.5 had thousands of loyal listeners. We thank you for listening but please be aware that our co-owned station 93,7 BOB FM plays unquestionably the best variety of classic rock and classic hits from every decade from the 60s through today."
