“There’s been a retrenchment in business coverage and we
hope to come in there and fill that void,” Al Mayers, head of Bloomberg Radio
and a Melrose native, told the Boston Herald. “Boston’s a great center for the
things that our customers are very interested in.”
Bloomberg has 26 journalists in Boston who will be
contributing regularly to show content, Mayers said. The station format will be
guest-driven and will feature interviews anchored by eight hosts, he added.
The station will provide a signal for those with HD radio on
94.5FM-HD2. Bloomberg Radio has also formed a content partnership with Bentley
University, which will provide the station access to faculty and staff for
content and commentary.
WXKS, which is owned by Clear Channel Communications, has
gone through several AM formats, including progressive talk and comedy.
