Classic Soul 102.5 adds current R&B songs

R

rho01

Kiss 104.1 dropped currents in early 2003 after Jamz came aboard. Classic Soul 102.5 has now repositioned itself and is playing currents and more recent R&B songs. This also makes 102.5 the 10th in the market to play Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together."

This is a logical move that some people expected a couple of years ago when Kiss dropped currents. With an inferior signal, it doesn't make sense for 102.5 to go directly against Kiss.

They're positioning the station as "WR&B" (and yes, WRNB is Radio One's Philly station) and will be changing 102.5's call letters in the near future (but won't reveal the new ones).
