Daily Domains 9/1: New Name For CBS Radio Potentially Set

[membership level="2,3"] As CBS Radio prepares for its IPO and spinoff has the company settled on its new name? CBS acquired InfinityMedia.com from a domain squatter this week. The name would be a tweak on the Infinity Broadcasting name that the company utilized after the merger of Westinghouse Electric and Mel Karmazin's Infinity Broadcasting until returning to the CBS Radio name in 2005. Over a year ago the domain was purchased by another squatter for $2525. iHeartMedia looks to be adding another " Real " branded Urban as the company registered Real983.com and Real983FM.com . Rhythmic CHR " Hot 98.3 " KOHT Tucson is where the domains are currently linking to and would appear to be the lead candidate along with Country " Big 98.3 " WUBG Indianapolis. Alpha Media has another " G " branded Classic Hip-Hop station in the pipeline as G98Radio.com was registered by the company. Is " 98 Rocks " 98.1 KTAL-FM Shreveport the intended destination? Entercom may finally be restoring separate programming to 790 WQXI Atlanta. The station has been simulcasting sister Hot AC " Star 94.1 " WSTR since the Sports format of " 790 The Zone " was dropped in July 2015. One of the new domains points to the stations longtime heritage as the market's Top 40 in the 1960s with QuixieInDixie.com . The other is a more generic WQXIRadio.com . Oldies on the way? Speaking of Entercom, the Program Director of Cumulus' 790 KABC Los Angeles seems to think the company has a format change planned in his market. Drew Hayes squatted on SportsRadio1003.com , SportsRadioFM1003.com , FMSportsRadioLA.com , and LAFMSportsRadio.com for what is now Classic Rock " 100.3 The Sound " KSWD. KSWD will serve along with ESPN's 710 KSPN as the flagship of the NFL's Los Angeles Rams. Total Austin Radio Classic Hits " Classic 105.3 " K287FG Austin may have a new incarnation on its way. Program Director Drew Bennett registered 1053TheBat.com , TheBatFM.com , and BatAustin.com . Anonymous Registrations: G1051.com and Sunny1470Radio.com . [/membership]
