Beasley Blows Up Kiss For "107.7 Jamz"

[DToTheJ]

Due to eroding ratings, WUKS/"Kiss 107.7" has kissed their urban AC format goodbye, and has been replaced with urban variety "107.7 Jamz," with the slogan, "Everything That Jamz!"

I knew they had too many urban ACs. This seems like a good idea.

Hey, I can pick up this station on the way to the beach.

An interesting option would be a simulcast with 107.9 WNCT, given how close the two (co-owned) frequencies are on the dial... but if there's a void to be filled, then so be it!

^ They own 96.5 The Drive in Fayetteville. Too close in format.

Not really. The Drive just plays rock.

This afternoon, The Drive played "Always Something There to Remind Me."
Was that Soft Cell? I forget. It was outside their usual rock-lean.

Naked Eyes.

As long as they don't do R&B (and even WXRC Charlotte occasionally does) they're still rock.

Interesting. This station seems heavy on disco.

Not what I would choose to listen to, but they've got something worthwhile. And they're giving away prizes.
