https://i0.wp.com/radioinsight.com/wp-content/images/2023/04/b96.jpg?resize=200%2C200&ssl=1Audacy began the revamp of CHR “B96 (https://www.audacy.com/b96)” WBBM-FM Chicago today as the station moved to a 50/50 gold to current/recurrent presentation with a Rhythmic lean.
With sweepers proclaiming “Chicago’s favorite radio station is back,” B96 is now positioning as “The music you’ve always loved and the best of what’s new”. The station has also returned to the logo it used throughout out much of the 2000s and 2010s.
The 10am hour of B96 featured:
TLC – Waterfalls
Glass Animals – Heat Waves
Nelly – E.I.
Doja Cat ft. Sza – Kiss Me More
Montell Jordan – This Is How We Do It
Beyonce – Crazy In Love
Metro Boomin ft. The Weeknd and 21 Savage – Creepin’
2Pac/Dr. Dre – California Love
Taylor Swift – Anti Hero
Steve Lacy – Bad Habit
Missy Elliot – Work It
T.I. ft. Rihanna – Live Your Life
Miguel – Sure Thing
WBBM-FM is currently tied for nineteenth in the Chicago market with a 1.9 share trailing iHeartMedia’s “103.5 Kiss-FM (https://1035kissfm.iheart.com)” WKSC and its 2.7.
The changes at B96 follow the departure of longtime programmer (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/250690/after-33-years-todd-cavanah-departs-audacy-chicago/) Todd Cavanah after 33 years at the station and the arrival of Molly Cruz (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/250730/molly-cruz-moves-to-b96-as-brand-manager/) to succeed him. There were expectations of this move (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/netgnomes/250320/rumor-mill-chicago-changes-coming-this-week/) taking place last month as part of larger changes at Audacy’s Chicago cluster that have so far not come to fruition.
