After stunting all weekend with hourly music block, Seven Mountains Media flipped the former Rock “The Point” 1450 WWKU/102.7 W274CD Plum Springs and 98.1 W251BT Glasgow/98.3 W252CV Bowling Green/105.3 WPTQ-HD2 Glasgow KY to Rhythmic Throwbacks “98 Jamz“.
Positioning as “Straight Throwbacks”, the station resurrects the format that had previously been heard in the market on “95.9 The Vibe” W240CP/106.3 WOVO-HD2 until Seven Mountains acquired the cluster last year. The station will carry Compass Media Networks’ DeDe In The Morning and Baka Boys in afternoons. R-Dub’s “Sunday Night Slow Jams” will move from sister CHR 107.1 WUHU and extend to weekdays from 10pm to 12am.
98 Jamz will also include a local midday show hosted by ‘Big Hamp’ from 10am to 3pm. Hamp was previously heard on W240CP and had continued operating that station’s brand online since its demise on-air. Other programming features will include a commercial free ““60 Minute Flex” in the 12pm hour and “The 2 Minute Promise” in timeslots with no syndication limiting commercial breaks to two minutes.
