So it looks like TRAX is out and Alt 94.9? but....Radio Isight is saying that Alt 94.9 is moving to 101.9 and 94.9 is going to be Old School Hip Hop.

Reset the preset....Alt 101.9 that was fast
As for 94.9 if it's like the Vibe in the Twin Cities and plays old school R&B yea I'm for that....That would be something not being done here in SLC
But if Trax was low rated what about 98.7 or 101.1? As for my personal taste TRAX had a great playlist, great variety!
KBER should go back to more of a 80's hairband like SiriusXM's Hairnation that would fill a void for all of us that grew up in that time.
Just saying.....

Yep. Very fast. 101.9 was still Trax at a quarter to 2 this afternoon and is now simulcasting 94.9 using the Alt branding. Radio Insight has a followup story on it as well. (https://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/94437/alt-94-9-salt-lake-city-begins-simulcasting-on-101-9-kenz/)
I really don't understand why Cumulus keeps trying Alternative. It's been many years since they've made it work here, and this is the third go-round on the 101.9 frequency. Maybe this time will be different, but I'm thinking the odds are against them. To me it would make much more sense to just leave the Alternative where it is (if you wanted to keep it at all) and put the new Vibe on 101.9 with the better signal. A frequency change is always at least a little risky, and they can't afford to lose any P2 or P3 listeners. Plus, the 101.9 signal is from Farnsworth and not Lake Mountain. And as you mentioned Dana there's still the issue of B98.7 and K-Bear 101 too. Either of those two might be the next to go.
