iHeartMedia has shut it down after 27 years.
Currently, the station is playing "Closing Time" by Semisonic on repeat, along with a message telling listeners "You can hear the sound of 102.1 The Edge at 97.1 the Eagle. Beginning Thursday at 5:00 you can hear the new 102.1." Another message says "Thanks for 27 great years."
KDGE.iheart.com now redirects visitors to the KEGL 97.1 FM The Eagle's website.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram speculates IHM could be trying to still some thunder from rival KLUV 98.7 FM, which is expected to do its traditional switch from classic hits to a Christmas format any day now; the station with the Christmas format tends to rule the Nielsen Audio ratings for a couple of months.
The Edge went on the air at 94.5 FM on June 30, 1989, with a mix of of current music. Elvis Costello, Midnight Oil, the Communards, lots of reggae -- Ziggy Marley [and] Bob Marley, UB40 ... Love and Rockets, the Cure, the new Bob Mould, the Indigo Girls, Caterwaul, Crowded House, Tim Finn.”
