Don't know about Frantz, but it's likely that "BFS" will go to WDCB.Of course, the combination of disgruntled listeners, the fact that the changes were announced eight months before they are supposed to happen (which is an eternity in commercial radio terms) and the sketchiness of the new format plans for WBEW and WBEQ (although I think what they're going for is a multi-cultural, hippened-up, urban version of the old NBC Radio show "Monitor," which some of you old-timers may remember) might mean that the changes may never get off the ground and the two present blues programs will either stay where they are or move to WBEW/WBEQ.
