After the delayed merger of Sports “ESPN Richmond” with SummitMedia’s “Sports 106.1” W291CL/WURV-HD3 Richmond took place last night, Radio One launched Classic Hip Hop “The Box” on 950 WXGI/99.5 W258DC Richmond and 1240 WTPS/102.7 W274BX Petersburg VA.
Positioning as “RVA’s Home For Classic Hip Hop”, the station is currently running jockless. The launch creates a competitor to SummitMedia’s “G104.3” W282CA/WKHK-HD2 Richmond, which had a 1.0 share in the February 2021 Nielsen Audio ratings.
