Looks like a very standard AC playlist, except when they played Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust"!
Because sometimes that’s what companies want of their employees, and they are still employees. What another station did is fine, what Beasley may want in this case is fine. There’s no singular way to handle this kind of transition. And if the direction is not to talk about it directly until advised otherwise, that’s the professional way to act.
There’s no point in burning a bridge. They may be out of work when the sale goes through, but you don’t know when an opportunity can open up down the road, so why not act like an adult in the meantime?

True fans of radio are a passionate bunch. If one of the jocks made public that God is taking over next week, the station's socials would be filled with anger and sadness--and people would probably start sending worthless missives off to any corporate email box they could find. I'm sure that's not the way they want their legendary little station to stumble through its final days.
[email protected] is the complaint box, I think.
That "passionate bunch" is quite small. Most people will tune in one day...hear something different...scan to a different preset or flip over to Spotify/Apple Music/other streaming platform...and go about their day never giving it a second thought. Sentences that contain words like "legendary" and "radio" in the same sentence tend to gravitate towards message boards like this, but don't represent the vast majority.
I don't believe anyone ever said that "legendary" and "radio" do represent any type of majority. There are plenty of examples of small-but-mighty fans of a station making a stink after a format change. IIRC, there was even a write-up in the Inquirer about the listener response when one of our own stations went kaput. (Maybe Smooth Jazz? Maybe the second coming of Sunny? Who can remember?)
It's a lot of pretty words you strung together there, but it doesn't change anything at all about what I said. lol
WJBR is running a liner explaining the change, and that WJBR will remain online, but also…on 95.7-HD2.
Club Ben is dead. After being signed on and seemingly untouched for how many years.

Few words, best analysis of all!
A station is only as good as the last time you listened. What it did a decade before is meaningless.
One of the very significant things that the PPM showed is that the average person has two or three favorite stations, and from week to week, month to month, the one listened to changes… a little less to one, a little more to another. But very few have just one absolute favorite.
The diary only showed weekly behavior for one singe week; the PPM shows the same person for up to two years. We know that “loyalty” to stations other than religious ones and a few non-com formats, is minimal.
The HD2 audio quality is horrible. You’d think they’d upgrade that prior?
Is 95.7-HD2 even reliable in Wilmington?
They are not gonna blow up Ben fm for Ac
That’s a joke, right?
For the two people who will listen?
