WA Radio: KAAP-FM Shifts From AC to HotAC

Cherry Creek Radio has flipped AC KAAP 99.5 FM The Apple from AC to HotAC as The New 99.5 The Bridge. The flip took place at 12n Pacific Time Friday with 'Sexy Back' by Justin Timberlake as the first song.

OM Chuck Geiger says: “This is a natural progression for our 99.5 frequency, to bring an at work focused product to the forefront, a fun and uptempo music mix that is perfect for North Central Washington work place listening.” SVP/Programming Mark Elliott, Top 40 cluster-mate KWWW (KW3) PD John Connor and Geiger assisted in the transition.

The syndicated Murphy, Sam and Jodi morning show will begin May 16 and the station is commercial-free from 9a-5p Monday-Friday through the month of May.

SVP/Programming Mark Elliott stated: “At night, we are working on obtaining programming that is compelling enough so women will turn off the TV and turn on the radio while they read or connect with family and friends on social media unwinding from a hectic day.”
