RIP Planet.

They must have really been hurting. How long was Planet around, about 10 years or so?

Easily 10 years, possibly longer. How long will it be until X102.9 starts playing more commercials?

Planet Radio began in the summer of 1995 on 93.3 FM. They moved to 107.3 FM in December 2005 mainly (or possibly) as a condition of airing Lex and Terry for Jacksonville.

In Planet's early years (1995-1999), it was a totally different animal from the Planet of more recent years in music content and on-air hosts/DJs. Until about 2007 or so, they had a show on Saturday nights called "Forbidden Planet" that featured alternative and modern rock songs not normally heard on Planet or other modern rock stations.

A few years ago when I was working in NY,I went to work listening to a local alternative station one morning. That afternoon, I got in my car and the station had changed formats--from rock alternative to a completely spanish language and music station. I was like WTF....
Its about Bandwith and Advertising...radios main goal is to sell adds, if more people tune in ad prices can go up. The big signals have the most listeners. Thats what effects a station upgrading or downgrading...The 80s station may still be on the dial, you just have to find it.
