The move comes ahead of Pole and Dickson’s My Broadcasting Company completing the acquisition (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/264639/bell-media-to-sell-45-stations-to-seven-companies-in-canada-as-part-of-major-restructuring-cuts/) of AC ?Move 98.3 (https://www.moveradio.ca/kingston.html)? CFLY-FM and ?Pure Country 99 (https://www.purecountry.ca/kingston.html)? CKLC-FM Kingston ON from Bell Media. The change at WLYK moves the station into its own lane away from CFLY-FM under My Broadcasting VP/Content Rob Mise.
Border Broadcasting had acquired WLYK in early 2023 for $322,000. The “Lake-FM” brand launched in March 2023 (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/249935/wlyk-targets-kingston-as-102-7-lake-fm/) targeting Kingston ON after a couple weeks stunting with “stripper music” as “102.7 The Pole“.
The new “Wow-FM” will feature Kingston market stalwarts Gary ‘Big G’ McColman and Wayne ‘Matty’ Mathews in mornings and “Throwback Nation Radio (https://throwbacknationradio.com)” with Tony Lorino at night. “Big G & Matty” previously spent sixteen years at Rogers Sports & Entertainment’s “Country 93.5” CKXC-FM Kingston from 2004 to 2020.
