Along with all young people in Florida on their way to getting mumps, measles, chicken pox, (polio anyone?), it falls right into line that a radio station in FL which rebranded itself as Trump Central has seen a dramatic rise in young people listening. Apparently illness has already invaded their brains. “A Florida radio station has rebranded with the full flair of President Donald Trump’s political movement. From a voice impersonator to a “Deportation a Day” cruise contest, “Trump Country 93.7” is all in. “We made the rebrand decision shortly after President Donald Trump’s election landslide and witnessed all of the support in our area for Trump in boat parades and rallies,” Jim Schwartzel, the station’s president and general manager, told Straight Arrow News by email. “We made the decision that we would also celebrate Trump’s win by rebranding on inauguration day.” Reaction to the station has been mixed online. Some Reddit users say they miss the previous rock format, while others on X praised the bold rebrand. Since then, it has found a loyal following — especially among younger adults.
“The feedback has been tremendous,” said Schwartzel. “The people who have found the station celebrate and listen for long periods of time.” According to data shared with SAN, WHEL’s ratings have tripled among adults ages 25 to 54 since the rebrand. That’s the most important demographic and daypart in the industry: Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The station is now:
· No. 4 overall in the Fort Myers-Naples market.
· The No. 1 country station among adults 25–54.
· Averaging five hours and 45 minutes per listener per week — the highest TSL, or time spent listening, of any country station.
Help us all if this is the future of our country.
The ever-taunted third term came up in a FoxNews interview with none other than Amy Coney Barrett. Well color me red. “On Monday night, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett weighed in on the possibility of a third term for President Donald Trump. During a Fox News interview, she agreed with host Bret Baier that the Constitution was “cut and dry” on the two-term limit. Then Baier asked her, “Right, and the 22nd Amendment says you can only run for office for two terms.” To which Barrett replied, “True.”
Baier then asked Barrett if she thought the amendment was “cut and dry.”
“Well, you know, that’s what the amendment says, right? You know, after FDR [Franklin D. Roosevelt] had four terms, that’s what that amendment says,” she said.”
Let’s see what happens when TOM tries to wiggle his way around that one. Because he for sure will.
