Coming soon...

99X will move to 105.7 as "105.7 The X Rocks"
Mix 105.7 will move to 101.1 as "Mix 101.1 - #1 For Variety"

It didn't see this posted on here and I thought I'd let you guys know.

New logos are up on the websites... http://www.99xrocks.com/ and http://www.mix1057.com/

The reason for the changes...

AAA Entertainment sold off all their Peoria stations.
Regent bought 92.3 and 105.7 and sold 98.5, 99.9 and 101.1 to a new company, Independence Media.
AAA also sold 96.5 to Independence Media.

96.5, 98.5 and 99.9 are all expected to get new formats.

;D

Here you go...

92.3 is now "Power 92-3 - The Rhythm of the City" with the same format of CHR/Rhythmic. The website is http://www.mypower923.com/. Last I heard, the station has been running jockless with announcements every so often from the former DJs that you can listen online.

96.5 and 98.5 are now "98-5 Kiss FM - Peoria's Hit Music Space" with a format of CHR/Pop. The website is http://www.kissfm985.com/ and their Myspace is http://www.myspace.com/kissspace. They have former WKSC - Chicago jocks, Tic Tak and Govia on in afternoons and Kidd Kraddick in the morning. I'm not sure if they have permanent afternoon or night jocks yet. Brandon from Power 92 (http://www.myspace.com/power92brandon) has been on nights and Gusto was doing nights on Friday because of Free Gas Friday. Brandon was controlling the boards in the afternoon, while Tic Tak and Govia were out at the Circle K at the corner of War Memorial and Sterling giving away free gas for 98 minutes. More details here... http://www.hoinews.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=18282. They also have an "intern" Crazy Larry who has been driving around the Kiss FM Hummer giving away free t-shirts and stickers. Tic Tak and Govia have also been trying to get 1,000 new listeners to call in. Last I heard they were around #240. Overall, I think this station sounds really good! Much better than The Party!

99.9 is now "99.9 Pirate Radio" with a Jack-like format. The website is here: http://www.999pirateradio.com/

101.1 is now "Mix 101.1 - #1 For Variety" with a format of Adult Contemporary. They no longer are doing Hot AC. Scott and Gin are still mornings.

105.7 is now "105-7 The X Rocks" with the same Active Rock format that was on 99.9. The website is http://www.newtowermorepower.com/ or http://www.1057thexrocks.com/. They also have the same jock lineup as on 99.9.

;D
