104.1-R&B Adult with Steve Harvey in the morning?

104.1 should flip to R&B with Steve Harvey in the morning and Michael Baisden in the afternoon.

Magic or Majic 104.1 would be a good name.

Copy the style of sister WDAS-FM in Philadelphia or Emmis' WRKS in New York.

93.7 plays Cassie and Young Joc. Enough of that already. 2 stations is too much.

Blacks in Central Connecticut who are over 30 years old would like a radio station to call their own.
 
Our oldies station in Savannah flipped to "Magic" w/Steve HArvey in the morning. They kicked butt in the spring book.

They were Magic 104 as soft-AC WIOF 25 years ago!

It has seen a few. Previously, it has been Modern Rock-WMRQ, A/C-WIOF, and Country-WIOF (W-104).
 
104.1 signed on around 75 or 76 as WWCO-FM, simulcasting WWCO (AM). Then they went Country. Then they became Soft Rock Magic 104 WIOF. (Though I've heard WIOF calls date back to the Country Format). In 1991 they became Hot AC Star 104.1 WYSR. October 31, 1994 they became Moder Rock Radio 104 WMRQ. And they flipped to their current hip-hop format September 15, 2003 and changed calls to WPHH a few weeks later.

Actually WIOF was around by the late '60s, as a country station. I had the misfortune of hearing them for the first time, in 1969, in central Mass, one day when WBCN left the air for a couple of hours. After that, I would always cringe, when I traveled west, knowing that once I was a little bit past Worcester, 104.1 would become country. Magic 104 wasn't any kind of an improvement either...Nor is WPHH for that matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
