SUNNY AND WJJZ AIRSTAFF GONE, FORMAT FLIP ON THURSDAY

buzzrockradio said:
If you go to WJJZ and click the listen live link it says the server is down.

This was on the Y Rock on Xpn Boards:

Hey guys the rumors are true, alternative is coming back in Philly. I work very closely to the situation. It won't be on 104.5 however. Philadelphia's newest alternative station will be called Channel 1061, with the slogans of "philly's new rock" and "my new rock"

It is for this reason, the main url address for the station's website will be http://www.phillys1061.com rather than http://www.channel1061.com altough that url will redirect to channel1061's website. Also http://www.my1061.com will redirect to channel 1061's website aswell as a few other. The website is already set up, but currently blocked from public viewing. Infact if you click on the URL's they will take you to a forbidden, which tells you the server name is phillys1061.com

Channel 106 huh? Doesnt sound like too much rock on there to me, better get a better source next time around LOL!

While the station will call itself new rock, stealing from y100, this is mostly to prevent the Y-rock on XPN from calling itself Philadelphia's new rock. Fact is this station will be a mix of 90's alternative and new rock.

As of now, the flip is planed for 5:00PM today, with stunting starting at noon. However this may change in either direction, if problems arise, or if clearchannel thinks somebody might wanna try and beat them to the punch. However for the most part, everything is loaded, and if needed they could flip in a second.

104.5 is also fliping, but it might not be today. Inpart because of buzz. Chances are they will flip Friday, to a rhythmic/dance type movin format.

i know that person could not be more wrong. Wow that was the first real WJJZ rumor I belived because they had a good argument.
 
I was a advid listener to 106.1 until they changed their format. Are there any other Philly stations considering p/u this format? 106.1 HD2 still plays jazz. Is this going to change also? If it does, I will be forced to jump to Sat. Radio, and never listen to Clear Channel again!!!
