The Hawaiian vacation is over, y’all.

According to al.com, at 12:45 this morning, nearly a week after pulling the plug on sports-talk radio station ESPN 97.3 The Zone – and temporarily filling the gap with a constant stream of all-Hawaiian music on the luau-themed Hula 97.3 FM -- Birmingham’s Summit Media has launch a new format on that signal, the something-for-everybody music station Variety Hits 97.3 Y’all FM a la “Jack FM.” With no jocks.

“We play everything, and our listeners are going to tell us what they want to hear,” David DuBose, executive vice president and chief operating officer for Summit Media, told AL.com. “It can be everything from Sinatra to Michael Jackson to Foo Fighters. We play what you say.”

At 97.3 Y’all FM, listeners will be able make song requests on the station’s website which isn’t functioning yet. WZNN’s old sports format is still up. A 97.3 Y'all FM Facebook page should be coming soon.

 It is the second station launch this week for Summit Media, which on Tuesday began airing adult album alternative station Birmingham Mountain Radio on its 107.3 FM signal. BMR had previously been available on the internet only.
