WNTY(WXCT) Connecticut

[dw]

Last summer driving through Connecticut I heard a very appealing oldies format on 990. The ID was WXCT. I liked it so much I bookmarked it to listen on the internet (the website for "listen on air" was a page from Davidson Media). I heard that station broadcast the same programming on 1490 West Springfield. By the end of the fall, the Davidson site was no longer up and I had to listen via Tune-In. The station was then mentioning programming was also carried on 1180 WSKP Hope Valley RI and on a HD2 FM channel in Pawcatuck. As of today the station identifies as WNTY 990 Southington, 96.1 Hartford-Meriden, WSKP 1180 Hope Valley and WBMW 104.5 Pawcatuck. WACM now carries Bomba Urban/EDM Bachata (which is wonderful to listen to - I have bookmarked that), and it sounds like it's WSPR. Two days ago when I was driving in Hartford I tuned to 1270 and heard announcements advising listeners to tune to 1490 and 104.5. A few weeks ago the 990 oldies station was alerting listeners "we're moving down the dial and up in power." I assumed that 1490 would no longer be oldies. Are they moving to 1270? May 1 was a date mentioned.  Does anyone have the lowdown on this whole operation? Why did it drop the WXCT call letters? Does the oldies station(s) have a web site?(I don't like listening to Tune-in - it often drops the streaming). Last summer Fred King had a M-F morning show briefly and then moved to midday for a short while. Now he's gone. Why did he leave WARE where he was previously? Does anyone know what he's doing these days? Btw, when I google Bomba the home page for 97.1 lists 99.5, 98.5, 104.5 and 1270(Springfield). Does the Bomba owner have any connection to the Kool Radio 1180 owner? Is the "Bomba format" a national thing or is it locally programmed? Today when I was listening between 5-7pm there was "DJExtreme" and he gave a request line number that seemed like it was in Florida.
