990 6RPH Perth, 1179 3RPH Melbourne & 1197 5RPH Adelaide to go QRT in July.

Well this is quite a surprise:

No word on 2RPH Sydney (1224 kHz), 4RPH Brisbane (1296 kHz), or 7RPH Hobart (864 kHz) as yet. These three are outside the Vision Australia Radio branding so I assume they will be staying on.

I realise AM transmitters must cost a bit to keep running with the power requirements, but it does seem a strange decision. Even here at Waitara not that far from the Artarmon transmitters the DAB+ signal was a bit flaky, you had to make sure the antenna was in a certain position to avoid dropouts. And I am sure there are plenty of area in those cities where DAB+ would just not be available where the AM signal would be audible.
Having someone vision impaired trying to find the station on DAB+ could also be a problem. You can’t just talk to a DAB+ receiver and say “tune to Vision Radio”. As well as typing in the correct web address to get the online stream.
I wonder if those frequencies will be resold for a commercial operation? Don’t know if there are any plans for the two vacated ABC Perth AM channels.

With an official launch coming on Friday, May 1, the new brand will feature some programming from Signal Hill’s other stations in Western North Carolina including Blevins’ morning show based at WAME Statesville NC, Marshall University basketball and football, and Carolina Panthers football.
WYRV had previously featured Southern Gospel programming until filing a Silent STA earlier this year after the passing of owner Earl Cole.
