The Pirate rides in Mobile
August 23, 2006
Variety Hits is on in Mobile, AL. Oldies 106.5 (WAVH) in Mobile abruptly dropped its Oldies format to begin stunting as Jimmy 106.5, playing all Jimmy Buffett music the morning of Friday, August 18, 2006. That stunting lasted until Monday, August 21, 2006, when the station relaunched with Variety Hits as 106.5 The Pirate. All Access reports that Charlie Ocean will remain with the station as the Program Director.
Also, CBS Radio is selling its two stations in San Antonio, News/Talk KTSA and Variety Hits 102.7 Jack FM (KJXK), to Border Media Partners for a reporter $45 million. Border specializes in Spanish-language formats, and I worry about the long-term future of Jack FM on 102.7, regardless of how it fares in the ratings.
