Sports “Champions Radio” 107.1 WLIR Hampton Bays/96.9 W245BA Manorville, NY has dropped its format and returned to simulcasting the Christian “Hope Radio” network.
Champions Radio debuted last August with a mix of local programming and a simulcast of 98.7 WEPN-FM New York programming. Newsday’s Neal Best reports that the station had dropped its local hosts last month and negotiated an early out of its contract with ESPN.
Hope Radio is now heard on WLIR and five translators covering much of Long Island.
