95.7 KKHH flipped to Adult Hits “95.7 The Spot” at 12:30pm. The Spot is positioning itself as “Your Place. Your Music. Your Way” focusing on pop hits from the 70s through 2000s. Core artists listed include Madonna, Boston, Maroon 5, Bon Jovi, Duran Duran, Def Leppard, Eurythmics, Prince, Journey, and George Michael.

In an exciting move for Houston area music fans, CBS RADIO’s 95.7 today unveils a fresh new format beginning promptly at 12:30 pm. 95.7 The Spot is Houston’s newest adult hits radio station programmed for listeners who love a variety of hits from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. The station is designed for listeners who need a break from the everyday stresses of life and features the most popular artists of the time, including Michael Jackson, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Madonna, U2, Prince and many others.

“We worked exhaustively to understand what Houston listeners were missing in the market from their local radio stations,” said Sarah Frazier, SVP/Market Manager, CBS RADIO Houston. “Listeners told us they wanted their own spot to hear their favorite music hits, a spot to relax and energize at work and a spot to feel comfy and complete. This is your Spot, Houston.”

Original Report 10:30am: CBS CHR “Hot 95.7” KKHH Houston will launch its new identity at 12:30pm today.
