Congrats to Jennifer Donohue, who was promoted recently by CBS Radio to VP/General Manager of WCBS-FM/New York, NY. She had served as the station's General Sales Manager prior to the promotion.
The legal ID for Reno's KZTQ is now up on tophour.com.
100000watts.com reports that WAZA in Liberty, MS flipped from Oldies (Boomer 107) to Variety Hits as 107.7 WAZA ("with hits from A-Z") as of December 1, 2006. I haven't been able to find anything further out about this, but the 100kw people are very good at obtaining accurate information.
According to Pinnacle Media Worldwide, the top five testing songs for the Variety Hits format are:
1. "Another One Bites The Dust" Queen
2. "I Love Rock & Roll" Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
3. "Play That Funky Music" Wild Cherry
4. "Jack & Diane" John Cougar Mellencamp
5. "In The Air Tonight" Phil Collins
Click here to see the top 25. Interestingly, only one song ("Smooth" by Santana w/ Rob Thomas) post-1989 charted in the top 25.
