Changes up in the Sound

Per Lance Venta's RadioInsight.com , the sales of the Bell Media stations have started to close...and we're seeing a series of format changes/rebrands. In summary:

Owen Sound sees CJOS jump from Bounce Radio 92.3(which did variety hits)to become Zoomer 92.3, mimicing the branding and soft oldies format of CFZM(Zoomer Radio)in Toronto. They'll have live personalities in AM & PM drive, with the rest of the schedule duplication Zoomer in Toronto.

My Broadcasting finished the rebranding last month. In short:

-CFLY-FM returned to its 98.3 Fly FM branding but is still an AC station.
-CKLC rebrands as New Country 98.9 .
-Bounce 103.7(CJPT) becomes classic rock 103.7 Giant FM.
-CFJR(Move 104.9)rebrands as 104.9 myFM.

Lance adds that Whiteoaks hasn't closed yet on their Hamilton & Niagara area station.
