They’re now calling themselves “The New Love 105” using the slogan “More Music, More Variety”. A slogan Cities 97 used for awhile when they were Hot AC in the 2010s.

Minneapolis should have an AC station. Hasn't had one for a number of years.

Thank you very much for the info!

I'm pleased to see the Twin Cities finally have a Mainstream AC again. I'm surprised Love 105 didn't make such a move much sooner.

Nowadays, most of these songs can be heard on Soft AC. As someone who never listened to the previous version of Love 105, how much different is this, compared to the Soft AC Love 105. I just don't see it as a big shift in format, rather minimal actually.

That's still borderline soft AC. Even WEZV Myrtle Beach SC was louder than that before going back to soft AC. Though there's not much difference between WEZV now and that list.
