This afternoon I spotted an ad on a bus shelter for the upcoming replacement for Wired 96.3. The sign gave no clue as to what the new format will be, merely indicated the planned debut at noon on Boxing Day, December 26th. If there aren't some already I would imagine we'll see large ads on some of the many advertising billboards in Saskatoon in short order.
It would be interesting to know how long the changeover has been in the works,. and why the Wired on air staff was let go. I would guess the latter is to give the new station a fresh start, and perhaps we'll see an older group of DJs more in keeping with the rumoured oldiers/classic hits format. One or more veterans of the Saskatoon radio scene, perhaps?
My previous posts on the demise of Wired 96.3 can be read here and here. Harvard is currently running the transmitter on 96.3 megahertz as Santa FM, so if you're a |DXer that's why you're hearing nonstop Christmas music if you've got your Yagi aimed this way.
