The Ted-FM changing to 'talk' rumor was started about a year ago on this very board. In fact, I mentioned this to a TED-FM promotions person at last years Arnold Expo Ted-FM booth.They set up an elaborate booth at the expo last March 1-3. I told him that it was rumored that Ted-FM was going to an all talk format. He told me that nothing was in the works but he didn't' care for the present('We Play Everthing') format himself.
I looks like this had been considered all along and they were just waiting for the right opportunity
to come along.

“Most younger people don’t even know how to get to AM on the dial”: Fish (left) and Jividen say the time is right for talk on FM—as long as it’s not Limbaugh
At 3 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 5, Ted FM was still a music station. Little did 103.9 listeners—of whom there were too few—know the days of its “We Play Everything” format were numbered.
A couple hours before quitting time that afternoon, station management received a call from the producers of Glenn Beck’s syndicated conservative talk show, which was being yanked from 610 WTVN as that station shuffled its lineup.
