WYDE Format Change - July 2007
You may have found this website looking for WYDE 101.1 ("The Source") or WLGD ("Legends 1260") in Birmingham. There has been quite a bit of traffic through this site during the past few months, so I'll share with you what I know.

You may have noticed that both the "Legends 1260" and "Source" websites were dismantled as of June 30. In addition, both stations began airing Christmas music on July 2. On July 5, Crawford Broadcasting, which owns the two stations, dropped WYDE-FM's talk format. "The Source" has changed to a classic hits format, initially known as "Fun 101". Since that time, the station has undergone two different name changes and identities, becoming "Star 101" a day later on July 6; the station now refers to itself as the "new 101". Althought the talk format has been abandoned on 101.1 FM, some of the programming previously heard on "The Source" has now moved to Birmingham's WXJC, AM 850 and FM 92.5.

As far as "Legends 1260" goes, it's only been about a year ago since WLGD came on the air with its "real music" adult standards format. WLGD, however, is no more, returning to its former call letters of WYDE and rebroadcasting the "new 101".
