Say goodbye to Jammin’ Oldies WMOJ-FM (100.3), reports JohnKiesewetter at Cincinnati.com.  The Radio One station pulled the plug on urban oldies during the night and switched to all-Christmas music, to start the transition to CBS Sports Radio Network talk on Jan. 2.

The CBS Sports Radio Network will launch with author John Feinstein 9 a.m.-noon, Jim Rome from Fox Sports at noon-3 p.m., former ESPN host Doug Gottlieb 3-6 p.m. and Scott Ferrall at 10 p.m.-2 a.m.

This is the second try at FM talk here. WFTK-FM (96.5) was “SuperTalk96.5″ for about 13 months before switching to 96 ROCK.

 The new station will compete against a trio of  Clear Channel stations –  ESPN WCKY-AM (1530), Fox Sports WSAI-AM (1360) and WLW-AM (700), plus afternoon local sports talk with Dennis “Wildman” Walker and Jeff Piecoro on WQRT-AM (Real Talk 1160).  

Program director Steve Harris says “the opportunity was to great to pass up” to do sports talk on FM here.

No decision has been made about doing a local morning show or carrying a nework morning show. Former Bengals quarterback Boomer Esiason, who does mornings on CBS’ WFAN and CBS’ Sunday NFL pregame show, will do customized content for MOJO, Harris says.
