Another local radio format switch to announce. True Oldies 105.9 FM is no more, having been replaced this morning by 105.9 The Edge, a new classic rock station. The Edge is touting itself as “specifically designed for men who love to rock,” because, we can only guess, women don’t enjoy rocking quite so hard? Look for the likes of Van Halen, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Queen, The Black Crowes, Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, etc.
Plans are afoot to broadcast True Oldies programming on WJZW’s third HD Radio channel (the second one already offers smooth jazz), but this change appears to create a rather large oldies hole in the area’s regular FM radio options. BIG 100.3 plays a tiny bit of oldies mixed in with its classic rock, but that’s pretty much it, if we’re not mistaken.
