NEW PROGRAMS ON CHICAGO RADIO STATIONS TO CHANGE NEW FORMATS BY THE YEAR 2010

I don’t know how true this is, but from what I heard from cold hard facts and news sources that Chicago radio will be changing formats by the year of 2010, by eliminating several radio stations to make it more into the today’s media market; according to facts.

From what I’ve been hearing from people talking and from other news sources that they were saying that new arrivals with several new formats that will take place in the near future, stating that all of the radio stations in Chicago and the suburbs will be eliminating their old programs by changing to brand new formats by 2010.
The new radio formats in Chicago will be mostly all sports, news, and talk shows, sex talk, new age music, more ethnic programs, more Spanish Stations, today’s rock, and pure hard core hip hop and rap music.

The music that will be ban from Chicago radio will be Smooth Jazz, Adult Contemporary, oldies, classic Hits, Country music and classical music in which will be replace by the year 2010. This goes for both AM and FM radio in Chicago. (This what I heard from told by true facts by today’s politicians of the young generation)

In fact the FCC are planning to doing away with rules and restriction of the foul language act, due to the new law the was enforce only a few months ago; involving with the Freedom Of Speech Amendment. In other words, people are now aloud to say anything over the airwaves at anytime of the day or night. This also includes the freedom of stereotyping towards others by saying any insult words towards against other races.

The Chicago radio stations that will be changing in the near future will be:

WLIT 93.9 =The Lite FM (easy listing) – will change to an all sports-talk format.
WZZN 94.7 =True Oldies Channel – will change to an risqué talk show format
WNUA 95.9 =Smooth Jazz – will change to an African American talk format own by Midway Broadcasting
WDRV 97.1 =The Drive (classic hits) – will change to talk format own by Jerry Springer and Murray Povich
WFMT 98.7 =Classical Music – will change to another Hip hop and Rap format
WUSN 99.5 =Today’s Country – will change to another Spanish outlet format
WILV 100.3 =The Love FM (rhythmic oldies) – will change to an progressive talk format
WJMK 104.3 = Jack FM (adult hits) – will change to an new age music format
WMBI AM-1110 = Moody Bible Institute – will be sold to Air America Radio progressive talk format
WJJG AM-1530 = Joe Gentile – will be sold to Midway Broadcasting African American talk format

These are just facts of what I had heard from a few people in my neighborhood as they what they heard from their friends and other reliable resources, but how ever this all supposed to happen by the 2010…

I wish that would really happen in Los Angeles ;D
 
Re: NEW PROGRAMS ON CHICAGO RADIO STATIONS TO CHANGE NEW FORMATS BY THE YEAR 201

I think your sources are pulling your leg. A lot of things can happen in three years, but some of those changes you are suggesting are way, way way out of left field.

These changes are NOT my suggestions nor my sources!
These are facts that I have heard from friends that THEY'VE heard from their own reliable sources....

I thought I might just passed the word along since I heard this from my neighbors and the people at the bar that I've go to.

However, my roomate who is an old 61 year old radio veteran from the old days, had started all of this stuff, because he said that Chicago is getting worsen by the minute. with this non-smokeing ban thats happening in Chicago. Just the same as goes for closing down allot of taverns also.

Hilarious!

I guess some people don"t understand sarcasm.
 
Wow! Im glad I have XM and Sirius, its a gauranteed no format change! Satellite will be the wave of the future I would imagine! In the Bay Area i would imagine they do exactly what Chicago is going to do! They got rid of 95.7 The Drive 2 years ago, then KFRC flips to Movin! 93.3 FM was young Country and its La Raza now!! Whats next?
 
no. And if any of these were happening, you wouldn't know. Format changes are so secretive that people working for these stations wouldn't know until just before or after they happened. So, dream on...

Grampa Squirrel,

That's some funny s**** man. You should go down to the tavern more often. Who are you really -- Bulldog Drummond? 8)

There are no guaranteed formats. There's not even any guarantee that XM & Sirius will both still be around in 2010. Wave of the future...that's a good one!
 
OldBones, i "SIRIUSLY" doubt XM or Sirius will diissapear in our life time! They are here to stay! Cable TV came to Concord, some people kept their antennas, some switched, look at cable now! Cell phones, soon people wont be able to live without Sat radio. Period end of story! $ Sirius and 2 XMs no flips!! Kenny in Concord
 
I love my some satire! Awesome post.

Just keep one thing in mind that the City of Chicago is a very fast changing enirement!
everything changes so fast that you wouldn't know it hits you.

Radio stations here in Chicago changes formats at least twice a year, because chicago is mostly targeted toward for the young genoration rather than for old folks like us.
it is bad enough that I have a very hard time of keeping up with these changes happening every minute of the day!!!...

Moody's station will be sold to Air America. Now that's hilarious.
Just like I said: "Don't count your chickens before they hatch!"
Anything is possible at anytime!
Look at it if it was like a nuculer attack, You would't know if the atomic bomb hits you!!!
