NY Post: WNEW Playing Name That Tine
Yesterday, the station began playing everything from Top 40 to rock to rap starting at 1 a.m., while promising listeners “a new station coming soon.”
WNEW is doing what the radio biz calls “stunting” – airing a bizarre interim format to distance the station from the previous one while creating buzz and suspense prior to the launch of the new format.
“We will be announcing a new format in the near future,” said an Infinity spokesman, adding that WNEW’s only remaining talk stars, Ron & Fez, will now be heard exclusively on their Washington, DC, affiliate.
In other words, WNEW is now being run by iTunes, set on “shuffle.”
