Tallahassee Radio: Format Flip Expected At Sports WTSM

Reports indicate that Tallahassee’s WTSM 97.9 ESPN Radio station – home to the popular Jeff Cameron Show (JCS) – has been purchased by the Radio Training Network.

The Radio Training Network (RTN) owns and operates 14 Christian adult contemporary format stations under “The Joy FM” name. Along with WTSM 97.9, RTN purchased WHLG Coast 101.3 in Port St. Lucie, Florida for $1.3 million from Horizon Broadcasting Company.

It is anticipated that the stations will flip to the Joy FM format in the near future.

It is clear there are changes afoot.  Longtime Jeff Cameron Show producer Tom Lang announced abruptly that the show on Tuesday, June 15th, was his last. 

Referring to Lang, Jeff Cameron told his audience the “relationship has been fantastic” and was quick to add that “there is good stuff on the horizon.” Lang thanked listeners and left them guessing about his future by saying he would remain in Tallahassee as a member of the sports media.

In an exclusive interview, Jeff Cameron told Tallahassee Reports that he will remain on terrestrial radio in Tallahassee in the future, but could not be more specific at this time. He added that he is also pursing opportunities available through podcasts and other media platforms.

Cameron expects things to be worked out by the end of July. Until then he will be on 97.9 ESPN.
