Joy 104.7 is dead.
In its place, we now have a clone of the popular new radio phenomenon, "JACK FM" that's been sweeping the nation. By that I mean alot of stations have flipped to this format.
We now have this format in our area. Contemporary Christian station WSGA-FM Joy 104.7 is now "Freedom 104.7". I personally would have chosen a different name as it and the new logo scream "Country Station". They're using the expected positioner of this format - "We're Playing What We Want". Nothing jockwise outside of a male voice saying "We're Freedom 104.7 and we're playing what we want." Then, "Stay tuned for more music we like" before commercials. Weather's being done by The Weather Channel and then "Now back to more music we want to hear."
The website is in progress at http://www.joy1047.com
Here's a recently played song list:
11AM
11:08AM - Duncan Sheik - "Barely Breathing"
11:12AM - L.T.D. - "(Every Time I Turn Around) Back In Love Again"
11:17AM - Madonna - "Vogue"
11:25AM - Eddie Kendricks - "Keep On Truckin'"
11:29AM - Santana f/Rob Thomas - "Smooth"
11:33AM - Love And Rockets - "So Alive"
11:41AM - John Mellencamp - "Small Town"
11:44AM - Fleetwood Mac - "Landslide"
11:48AM - Hootie And The Blowfish - "Only Wanna Be With You"
11:55AM - Prince - "Little Red Corvette"
11:58AM - The Bee Gees - "Nights On Broadway"
12PM
12:03PM - Billy Idol - "Dancing With Myself"
12:06PM - Elton John - "Honky Cat"
12:11PM - dishwalla - "Counting Blue Cars"
12:16PM - Babyface - "My Kinda Girl"
I am unaware of when exactly the station flipped formats. I just noticed this late last night while scanning the radio dial.
"Freedom 104.7" is owned by Tama Broadcasting, Inc.

They also own WSSJ-FM (Smooth Jazz 92.3) and WMZD-FM (Mix 100.1) in this market.
My question to those on this board: am I correct in that this format is to remain jockless for a fairly long duration? Outside of the male voice I mentioned, there's no presentation whatsoever. I thought imaging was in your face for this format.
In any case, it's nice to finally get to hear, in this market at least, the newest format that's got everyone talking.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by FilmCritic3000 on 08/05/05 10:16 PM.</FONT></P>
