AMP 98.7 flipping!

[armchair pd]

And the final piece of the puzzle.... Has any on-air personalities been let go? Has anyone checked their social media for a post?

Julia from the morning show just posted a pic on her social from an Art Van appearance for '987 AMP Radio'. That pretty much blows your 'stunt' up. If the jocks haven't been let go, this is either a short lived bit for attention or rebranding. I'm going with the former.

I agree with the rebrand. Count on womc playing 0 Christmas music this year. They are too busy trying to dethrone csx and playing Christmas music will hurt that attempt to steal listeners.

Entercom likely wanted a piece of Christmas ratings this year and chose amp to do it.

A new name and slight adjustment in palylists seems like the likely move here. Their ratings will go up a bit with the Xmas music and make selling ads a little easier.

could be a name change Monday as mentioned, this is just being a weekend thing, which i kinda doubt. I think the first, is more like it. They are just fulfilling there agreement with there advertisers. Could be Monday they unveil a new format OR this runs till Jan 2nd.

Smells like a rebranding. At this point, I quote Bernie Mac..."I don't believe shit til shit happens". I bet we're stuck with CHR. Can't have enough Drake!

I spoke to one of the former Amp's airstaff on Facebook this morning. I don't know about any format flips after Christmas, but they will be JOCKLESS till after the 1st of the new year. She is still employed by Entercom, but in a more limited role. She did not see this coming either. Obviously, it was a corporate move to give iHeart's 100.3 some surprise competition. I wonder if more "Rudolph Network" stations will pop-up in other Entercom radio markets?

Did we just lose a bunch of posts again!?!

I'm not touching the Wheelz format. I don't think enough people remember wheels from 30 years ago unless they do a classic format. But I just don't see it happening. I wish they'd done the Alt format before 106.7! I'd love to have rock on 98.7 again!!!

Boy, oh boy...be careful what you wish for

It's not. Church of Lazlo, current top 40, and a little bit of 90s rock for most of the work day.

Their RDS PTY still reads "Adult Hits." They may as well keep it as is.

So what is the 'format' of the day at 98.7MHz in Detroit?
