BREAKING NEWS: CLEAR CHANNEL SWINGS AXE AT KGBY

Clear Channel has reportedly brought its Paul Bunyan Tour to Sacramento's KGBY (Y92.5). Word began to filter out late Wednesday that the stations' AC format is to be jettisoned, along with the entire airstaff, right after the Christmas holiday (the station is airing 24-hour holiday music through 12/25). A new website, mentioned in an earlier post, points to KGBY joining its CC sister KBIG in Los Angeles in airing the "My" format, possibly as early as Tuesday (12.25)

Morning sidekick Lori Sacco, midday talent Heather Lee, and -- according to at least two sources -- morning legend Paul Robins are all reportedly out.

Word of the impending changes set off a modest wave of celebration at CBS Radio's KYMX, which has been winning not just the adult contemporary ratings race but, in two of the last three ratings periods, the entire ratings race in adults 25-54 years of age. Across the hallway, PD Jeff Z and a revamped morning show have helped KZZO climb back into the Top 10 in adult listeners over the last few months.

The new KGBY format is expected to run jock-less, at least for now. There was no word on additional changes in programming, promotions or administration. Clear Channel also operates heritage news/talk KFBK; talk KSTE; and Rhythmic Oldies KHYL (V-101.1).
 
Here's my Christmas gift to Clear Channel:

Clear Channel
(A parody of Jim Webb’s Galveston)

Clear Channel, oh Clear Channel,
I still see you your pink slips flashing,
As I bounce the checks I’m cashing,
I wore grey flannel
When I worked at Clear Channel.

Clear Channel, oh Clear Channel,
I still see your dark eyes glowin’,
With the crap you’re throwin’,
As you dismantle
Everything Clear Channel.

I still see you buying all those stations,
Firing those who wouldn’t work for free.
And are you sad you didn’t see,
All problems you would cause?

Clear Channel, oh Clear Channel,
I hear that your deal is dying,
Before you dry those tears you’re crying,
For the investors you were trying to empanel,
At Clear Channel, at Clear Channel.
 
LOL, Ladytalk!! :D

Don't celebrate just yet.

12/26= MY 92.5. Straight ahead Hot AC. They had a site up last week, but was quickly taken down. The URL is active, but is now redirecting to the actual Y-site: http://www.my925radio.com/main.html

It'll be just like KBIG.
 
On radio and records website! A slightly harder rock format coming to Y-92? Just what Sacramento needs another Rock format! Thank goodness and mom's apple pie for I-pods and other music systems. Oh! Wow!
 
My What A Big Deal! This will be just another loser format on Sacramento radio's trash heap and its getting very deep! The Clear Channel house of cards it going to come crashing down hard when the new real owners take over just to find out that they have been taken for one heck of a ride!

It could have been worst? They could have switched to LA PRECIOSA Spanish Oldies. CC seems to have one in each market they are in.
 
Since rock has done well in the PPM markets many CC stations are being sent in a rock direction.
This will be a lot like the "Fresh" format if I'm right and they'll still aim for women.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS: CLEAR CHANNEL SWINGS AXE AT KGBY and other stuff?

The only good thing about the New My 92.5 is their HD-2 channel has switched to all 80's! It must be rather confusing to listeners Y-92.5 to My92.5 not much of a change other than the money saved on real people in the studios! Quick all you office dwellers turn your dial up to Mix 96.1 and hear real music with at least a little bit of personality! Clear Channel is going down in flames on this one folks! I give this puke about a year and then its something new again! Thank goodness for satellite radio and my music collection, music my way all the time without the robotic voices that are being used on MY 92.5! Sick, Sick, Sick....what a waste of a radio station! Pathetic! But then again we are talking about Clear Channel.

And btw where is KWOD, KSSJ, Mix-96.1, Jack-FM, and The Zones HD-2 Channels? KWOD the carrier is there but no music!
