Albany Replacement: Pamal Alternative WINU/Albany, NY changed to Classic Country as "Big Country 104.9 & 97.9" yesterday (9/18) at 5pm ET, joining in a simulcast of WMML-AM & W250CC/Glens Falls. The Big Country lineup includes Kevin Richards (mornings), Jake Thomas (middays) and Sean McMaster (afternoons). "Classic country music has a timeless appeal that resonates with people of all ages," says Corporate Dir./Operations & Programming Kevin Callahan. "With Big Country, we aim to create a nostalgic and authentic experience, celebrating the legends of the genre while introducing new generations to the magic of classic country." WINU's move returns Classic Country to a full FM signal in the market for the first time since Pamal moved WKBE into a simulcast of sister Country WKLI in May (CAT 5/21). Stream here.
