Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving Day.

This week we continue emptying the archives of clips from Norfolk-Virginia Beach VA market. This week’s take includes eight refreshes, and two stations new to Toppy – WFMI 100.9 and WXTG AM 1490 and FM 102.1.

Next time we will finish with the Norfolk-Virginia Beach VA market.

Till then, good listening

This time we are clearing out our archives of clips from the Norfolk-Virginia Beach VA market which were record in 2009. Most are refreshes, with a “new” recording of WNOB 93.7.

The area is also known as Hampton Roads.

Till next time
Happy listening.

This time we feature some updates from the Peach City – Atlanta, GA market, thanks to Greg Coniglio. Nothing new, but they are nice additions to Toppy.

Till next time,
Happy listening

This week we introduce a new market for Toppy. It is the Tappahannock , VA market. This micro-market is basically the peninsula in Virginia called the Northern Neck which is bounded by the Potomac River on the North and the Rappahannock River on the south. This area is on the fringe of two or three major markets but not really a part of them. We believe it can reasonably stand on its own as separate market.

We start out this market with six stations I recorded in September 2009.

Have fun listening.

Till next time,

As we anticipate the landfall of Hurricane Sandy, we present some more clips from the Jersey Shore (South) or the Monmouth-Ocean, NJ Market. Most of the clips are update’s of previous clips, with some minor changes.

Well, this area will be getting hit hard by Sandy in the next two or three days. We hope they will be able to ride the storm out without casualties. Currently, the NWS is predicting that the trajectory of the storm will be going further south than they originally predicted. It will go onshore somewhere near Cape May, which is south of this week’s featured market. However, the whole New Jersey coastline will be hit by strong winds, high tidal surges, and lots of rain.

Here in Baltimore we will be hit hard too. With the predicted path going further south, we could be hit by over 10 inches of rain, high winds, and lots of river and street flooding. I expect that we will be out of electricity for several days.

Take care, and good luck!

Till next time

This time we will take a listen to some stations from the Jersey Shore. No, we are not talking about the TV shore, but the actual geographic region, more specifically the Ocean Shore part. In Toppy parlance, this is the Monmouth-Ocean Market. This week’s take includes several stations new to Toppy as well as a couple of refreshes.

We will feature the second part and final part of Jersey Shore next week.

Till next time, happy listening.
