Update 9/20: At 12pm, 105.1 CJED began simulcasting sister CHR “Z101” 101.1 CFLZ Fort Erie and both stations flipped to CHR “2DayFM“.

Focusing on the Canadian side of the market, the station is positioning as “Hit Music Now” and personality heavy focusing on conversation via the web, social media, and phone.

Previous CFLZ Morning Co-Host Ashley Strickland remains but will be paired with model/comedian Oren Williamson. Jenna Mosher transfers from Vista’s “106.3 Moose-FM” North Bay for afternoons and Sarah Christie will host nights.

The first hour of 2DayFM featured:
Robin Thicke – Blurred Lines
Icona Pop – I Love It
Avicii – Wake Me Up
Katy Perry – Roar
Lumineers – Ho Hey
Swedish House Mafia – Don’t You Worry Child
Imagine Dragons – Radioactive
One Direction – Best Song Ever
Calvin Harris – I Need Your Love
Justin Timberlake – Sexy Back
Jason Derulo – The Other Side
The Weeknd – Wicked Games
Life Of The Prty – Prty H3ro

Original Report 9/19: Vista Broadcasting has pulled the plug on Variety Hits “105.1 Ed-FM” CJED Niagara Falls. The station is currently stunting with Christmas Music and promoting its “Gift For Niagara” to be opened on Friday, September 20 at 12:00pm.

CJED was one of two Variety Hits stations in the Buffalo/Niagara Falls market along with Townsquare Media’s “92.9 Jack-FM” WBUF. It only appears in the ratings on the Canadian side of the border where it registered a a 1.6 share in the St. Catharines/Niagara Spring 2013 BBM Ratings.

Northeast Radio Watch’s Scott Fybush somehow noted that the greyed out logo on ED’s website seemed to spell out 2DayFM. Sure enough 2DayFM.ca and 2DayFM1051.ca were registered by Vista in July. The 2DayFM brand is big in Australia, but the only place in North America it has made an appearance is KKJK Ravenna, NE. As Vista already operates CHR “Z101.1” CFLZ Fort Erie in the Niagara Falls/Buffalo region it will be interesting to see if any changes are also forthcoming to that station.
