Whitney had some fun covering the launch of Live 100.5 FM on Friday, and the station’s been having fun getting established in town. They’ve already got a Facebook group (remember, you’ve got to have a Facebook account to see it – and 185 folks have already found it), a live stream of the station available on the station’s website and (in case you missed it) Matt over at AL.com’s got the first 15 songs ever played so you’re ready for that quiz that will inevitably come up.

We’re essential!
This is the part where we blatantly plug the current (August 2008) issue of Birmingham Magazine (while thanking associate editor Carla Jean Whitley for showing her some love to the hub) by asking you to pick up a copy, turn to page 86 and cheer the fact that we made the list of “Essential” websites here in The Magic City in the. There are some friends of The Terminal on the list as well, including Bhamdining, BhamWiki, {head}:sub/head, r3vrb, THE2NDHAND, Birmingham Pulse, BirminghamMom, Wade on Birmingham and The Wine Pig.
Check it out and see if there’s any other site you’d include on the list.

Neal lawsuit settled, new meteorologist coming to Fox 6
UPDATE: If you didn’t already know that Neal is a weekend meteorologist for CBS42 (since 2009), he’s also working for WeatherNationTV.
Two updates on the Fox 6 chief meteorologist front…
Earlier today AL.com reported that the lawsuit filed by former Fox 6 chief meteorologist David Neal had been settled out of court, with no details being released. While looking to see what else was out there about this story, we discovered that The Huntsville Times reported on Sunday that current WHNT meteorologist James-Paul Dice will be coming to The Magic City to serve as Fox 6’s new chief meteorologist.

UPDATE: The carousel continues with shuffling dial positions
UPDATE, 3;45 p.m., 7.23.2008: Word’s come in from Scott Register himself that Reg’s Coffee House will be broadcasting from 100.5 FM beginning this Sunday, July 27. Spread the word!
If you haven’t figured it out, WJOX has shifted its FM frequency to the spot formerly occupied by Y94.5 FM. While the site had not been completely redirected as of yet, the sports station’s website has already been rebranded complete with a redesigned station logo. We’re still not quite sure what’s going to happen to the frequency that once housed The X; it appears that they don’t know either as tuning your radio to the station (if you still do that) points you to a spot where signals sound like they’re crossed right now.

Y94.5, we hardly knew thee…
You can definitely tell that we took the weekend off when we miss a Radio Carousel story! The switch apparently took place shortly after Y94.5‘s simulcast of this year’s Thunder on The Mountain festivities. BTW, the website’s currently under construction. There is speculation all over the web as to what’s going to happen next. Wikipedia is currently saying that it’s gone country (though they’re currently simulcasting WJOX today) and Alabama Media Buzz is suggesting that it could be switching to an adult contemporary hits format.
The good news is that no matter what, we can count on Reg broadcasting next Sunday (at least that’s the word from the man himself courtesy of his Facebook account.
Devon’s last day
Yeah, it’s true – if you didn’t already know, tonight will be Devon Walsh‘s last on Fox 6. According to her last blog post, she’s got a pretty good reason too – her husband’s finished his residency and his new job’s allowing them to move home to Mobile with their 5-month old son.
We know we’ll miss her and we’re sure you’ll want to tell her goodbye as well, so either comment here or how about on that last post of hers on the Fox 6 site.
