Audacy rebranded Classic Hits 98.7 KLUV Dallas as “98.7 The Spot (https://www.audacy.com/stations/987thespot/song-history)” this morning.
The move matches the branding utilized by sister Variety Hits “95.7 The Spot (https://www.audacy.com/957thespot)” KKHH Houston. KLUV continues to feature a playlist emphasizing the 1980s with a couple of 70s songs per hour and a handful of early 1990s titles to give breathing room to sister Variety Hits “100.3 Jack-FM (https://www.audacy.com/jackontheweb)” KJKK. KLUV is now positioning as “Your Spot, Your Music”.
KLUV’s IP was included in the about to close sale of WLFP Memphis and WTSS Buffalo to Educational Media Foundation. Dallas was one of three markets where EMF did not hold the trademark rights to its flagship “K-Love” brand due to KLUV pre-existing. Univision holds the rights in Houston and Los Angeles, but has already agreed to share the usage of the name on-air in the latter.
The Spot is running jockless this morning outside of traffic reports. No word yet on the status of the airstaff that included Billy Kidd in mornings, Sybil Summers in afternoons, and Alex Luckey at night. WCBS-FM New York’s Race Taylor tracked middays. KLUV ranked second in the Dallas/Fort Worth market with a 5.1 share in the May 2023 Nielsen Audio ratings.
The 6am hour on the rebranded station featured:
Guns N’ Roses – Sweet Child O’ Mine
A-ha – Take On Me
Steve Miller – The Joker
Steve Perry – Oh Sherrie
Michael Jackson – Thriller
Blue Oyster Cult – Don’t Fear The Reaper
Talk Talk – It’s My Life
John Mellencamp – Jack & Diane
Fleetwood Mac – Landslide
Bon Jovi – Wanted Dead Or Alive
Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes – (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life
