Update 6/30: 99.7 CJOT made the shift to Classic Hits “Boom 99.7” at 3:00pm today. Unlike most US based Classic Hits stations, Boom is focusing on music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
The first hour of Boom 99.7 consisted of:
Rolling Stones – Start Me Up
Kool and the Gang – Celebration
Journey – Don’t Stop Believin’
George Michael – Faith
Queen / David Bowie – Under Pressure
Prince – 1999
Kansas – Carry On Wayward Son
Blondie – Call Me
Manfred Mann’s Earth Band – Blinded By The Light
Men Without Hats – Pop Goes The World
Billy Idol – Mony Mony
Bob Marley and The Wailers – Three Little Birds
Bachmann Turner Overdrive – You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet
Depeche Mode – People Are People
Original Report 6/29: Astral Media will shift AC “99.7 EZ Rock” CJOT Ottawa to Classic Hits “Boom 99.7” just 13 months after the station signed-on.
The Ottawa Citizen reports that the change will happen on Thursday, June 30 leading into the the Canada Day Holiday Weekend. The change will see all currents dropped from the station as it will focus on hits from the 70’s through the 90’s. Morning co-host Neil Hedley was let go from the station earlier this week.
