Despite being promoted to originally take place in March, JVC Media’s 104.9 WYGC High Springs/Gainesville FL finally made its flip to 1980s Hits “Y105” at 12pm today.
WYGC takes the format and staff that had been heard on Radio Gainesville’s 103.3 WGVR-LP as “Sunny Radio 103.3“, “Hit Radio 103.3“, and “Z103.3” over the past year. The LPFM is now Oldies “Oldies 103.3“.
Original Report 3/2: JVC Media’s 104.9 WYGC High Springs/Gainesville FL will flip to 1980s Hits on Monday, March 19.
WYGC, which quietly dropping its “Talk of Gainesville” format late last year to simulcast sister Hot AC “Q92.9” WMFQ Ocala, will assume the format currently heard on Radio Gainesville’s “Z103.3” WGVR-LP as “Y105“. WGVR-LP will then flip to Oldies utilizing Scott Shannon’s True Oldies Channel.
Lash, who has supplied programming to many LPFMs including WGVR-LP and Florida Educational Broadcasting’s Christian CHR “Next-FM” 105.7 WERF-LP Gainesville, is also planning to purchase Silent 1330 WSPQ Springville NY and relaunch it as Oldies “13Q” with True Oldies Channel programming.
