Reaction To The Hawk's Loss
As expected, many former listeners of WTHK reacted the same way WJJZ's listeners did when Clear Channel discontinued the latter station in August 2006. The Hawk had a very loyal fanbase, and most of them have already said that they will not switch to its former competitor, Greater Media's WMGK. Since The Hawk's demise, WMGK is now Mercer and Bucks County's only local classic rock station, though out of market Classic Rock stations such as New York's Q104.3 (WAXQ), The Jerey Shore's 105.7 The Hawk (WCHR-FM) and Easten's Classic Hits 99.9 The Hawk (WODE) can still be picked up in parts of this area .
However, WCHR-FM, which as noted above transmits from Manahawkin, New Jersey, is also named "The Hawk," and carries very similar content. This station is audible, and rather strong, at the eastern edge of the Philadelphia market.
