Beasley Media Group Tampa has announced a new Mainstream Adult Contemporary station WBRN The New B98.7 FM launched late Thursday afternoon with 10,000 songs in a row, featuring Today’s Hits and Yesterday’s Favorites from a wide variety of artists like Maroon 5, Pink and Journey.

“Our entire staff is geared up to launch B98.7, a seamless complement to our cluster of Classic Hits, Country, Spanish CHR, Rhythmic CHR and Financial Talk!” said Tampa Market Manager Kent Dunn. “Our programming team put together an amazing product that will surely be a success in Tampa and St. Pete!”

The station soon will feature Tampa’s top-rated AC Morning Show stars Chadd & Kristi (Mr. and Mrs. Thomas) who will host the station’s “10,000 Songs in a Row” until the new show debuts on Monday, Feb 6. The married duo recently exited crosstown WWRM Magic 94.9 FM.
