After a total of some 30 years on the air in Washington, DC on WRQX Mix 107.3 FM. AM host Jack Diamond this morning told listeners of the impending demise of the station...but not his show.
The 107.3 FM frequency will be converting from HotAC to be new outlet for K-Love, the Christian Music Format operated by the Educational Media Foundation starting at 7pm this Friday. Back in February, Cumulus Media announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell six radio stations to Educational Media Foundation for $103.5 million in cash. EMF's acquisition means format changes for all these stations. HotAC WPLJ 95.5 FM in New York, Talk WYAY 106.7FM, HotAC WRQX 107.3 FM in Washington, DC, Alternative KFFG 97.7 in San Jose (which simulcasts Cumulus' KFOG in San Francisco), Classic Rock WXTL 105.9 FM in Syracuse, NY and Hot AC WZAT 102.1 in Savannah, GA.
Leading to the switch-over, WRQX will highlight the timeline of WRQX with Diamond hosting the final hour.
Perhaps the biggest news from the video was Diamond's disclosure that his show will migrate to another D-C frequency. The new station has not been unveiled.
Cumulus, as my friend Byron said: cume you less. :)
