Hello.
Havent heard any word about when whiteoaks will take over its new stations.
When do you think they will?
And do you think they will change some formats on the fm side?
For sure HTZ FM will stay the same.
But if bounce and move change, what do you think the new formats will be?
Cant whate to hear what happens.

I hope 97.7 will stay with it's Active Rock format. My dad listens to 97.7 at work on his phone. But for 102.9 and 105.7 my 2 guesses are:
#1 Stay with the current formats but change the branding names because "Bounce" and "Move" are used by Bell Media/iHeartRadio Canada. But what names for 102.9 and 105.7 would you want to see?
#2 Change 102.9 back to an AC station unless Corus sells it's Hamilton cluster and 95.3 switches back to it's classic hits format. But we will have to wait and see if Corus might do that.
Other then that we will have to wait and see what happens.

Maybe for bounce, Ed fm, Andy fm The hammer or Hits fm.
For move, Mix fm, Light fm, They have a christian radio station named joy but they could call joy radio faithstrong and call move joy fm.

Mix FM would be a great branding for 105.7. Remember CKFM 99.9 Mix FM before it changed to Virgin many years ago? I hope they use it.
For 102.9 Andy FM is not a bad idea but will the BOB FM branding return? Maybe not but we will see.

And the whating begins.
Hope it does not take years and years for whiteoaks to take over.
The CKOC relaunch was not very exiting.

They've talked about putting those on the FMs' HDs. They won't put them on the main signal.
