CC-Portsmouth Re-launches Z107

Clear Channel Portsmouth today announced the launch of WERZ / Z107 on 107.1, returning the station to its roots as the Seacoast’s Hit Music station, effective immediately.  Goodbye Hot/AC.

Fosters.com is reporting Z107 will be commercial free until Tuesday, October 9, when Elvis Duran and the Z107 Morning Show, the most listened to Top 40 morning show in America, will take over weekday mornings from 6 – 10:00 a.m. ET.

The new hit music station will also feature On Air with Ryan Seacrest, with America’s most recognized entertainment personality, weekdays from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET. In addition to its new programming line-up, Z107 will also continue its long standing tradition of community engagement with events like Stuff A Bus to benefit the USMC Toys For Tots Program, Coats for Kids and Z107 for Literacy. Z107’s complete programming line-up will be announced soon.

“After seeing the significant growth of pop contemporary hit music listenership locally over the last four years and the corresponding national trend, we’re excited to launch Z107 as the Seacoast’s Hit Music station,” said Joseph Graham, Vice President and General Manager, Clear Channel Media and Entertainment New Hampshire.

Tom’s Take: Love the line about complete programming line-up will be announced soon.  Expect maybe one local show (PM Drive) and that's it.  Shuffle play evenings and weekends.
