Found the new facebook fan page for "101.9 FM New". Here it is https://www.facebook.com/pages/1019-FM-New/121347444626615?ref=ts&sk=wall There's two profile pics. One pic is of the "101.9 FM New" logo and the other is a box of chocolates. No other info on the fan page though just a few people bashing the new format on the wall ;D.

101.9 FM New now on Facebook
- Thread starter mike1985
- Start date
Nothing on the wall. Obviously they're deleting the stuff they don't like.
56 people 'like' it so far. I'm sure most of those are the ones trashing it.

I've listened to the station for a few hours over the weekend and no mention of a facebook page. I thought it was weird to not have a quick drop in between songs saying "Check out our Facebook page...". At least to get some people that enjoy the new format on there to leave a few nice words on their wall

when i go to the 101.9 FM facebook page i see this message...There are no more posts to show. what happened to the post that were there ?
That probably means the posts were deleted.

They definitely deleted them. There were three posts on their wall when I posted the link last night. All three of course were negative saying how the new format sucks and the music selection is terrible. 101.1 FM New Chicago's facebook page has a lot more activity on their facebook page and a few posts by the Admin on their wall, the most recent one I saw last night is about the bombing in Oslo.

What IS it with these stupid "Chocolate FM" liners on both the New York "New" and the 101.1 FM "New" in Chicago?! It probably will turn out to be nothing about nothing, but this is so stupid and lame, even for a radio stunt!
Look at some of the comments on the profile pictures...

Why are they even going live with the Facebook page when the station is still stunting? Who cares if a bunch of alternative rock fans don't like the AC and oldies now on the frequency? Isn't it going to be some kind of talk when all's said and done?
Some thoughts on why Chocolate FM liners are being used on 101.9 and 101.1. and the Chocolate Picture on Facebook. Walter Sabo is involved in another company besides Sabo media.
Walter and Dan mason have a company called SABO-MASON INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVES that produces two Music Formats for Stations outside the US. One format that is Pop 80's Rock Based and targets Women 25-34 is called "Chocolate FM." Here is the link to a 2006 story on sabomason.com about these formats, the other being "Diamond FM" For Females 25-54.
This link was posted before on this board so some of you might have seen it.

My thoughts are that Sabo could be using this stunting period to try out this music format in the U.S. in two major markets. If there is music as part of the final Talk / News, Whatever format Pop 80's Rock Music might be part of it maybe overnight, on weekends or in between the talk. Any thoughts on How Chocolate FM and WEMP calls would work together.

Even though the comments (all negative) were removed from the Wall on 101.9 New's Facebook page, there are still some others by the 2 pictures. All are either negative or sarcastic.
Though this has no bearing on the final format, it seems unusual that a Facebook page would be set up for a station stunt.

Chocolate FM just another lame Sabo "project" that never happened. All the guy does is write press releases. Hasn't had a success, except for his involvement in NJ 101.5, in probably 15 years. And NJ 101.5's ratings have been going UP since he was recently shown the door!!

And look how well THAT turned out! I'm actually a huge fan of radio and would love to hear something interesting/compelling come out of the speakers! With Randy Michaels, there was some hope of that but you can be pretty sure that if Sabo is involved, that won't be the case. Pity.

Didn't he also consult Sirius or XM at one time, around the time of the merger? I seem to recall his being blamed for the slashing/mainstreaming of playlists on certain channels on the fan board a few years back.
