More Boom for Radio One - Now in Dallas!

Story by Radio Ink

Radio One Dallas Market Manager Gary Spurgeon announced the flip to the classic Hip-Hop station at KSOC (94.5) on Monday. According to Spurgeon, the change in formats from UAC to Classic Hip Hop cost a few jobs, and the dumping of the Tom Joyner Morning Show.

Dallas becomes the third flip to the newly created format for Radio One, following Houston and Philadelphia.

Spurgeon said, "The new BOOM is a complement to Radio One’s 97.9 THE BEAT FM, a Rhythmic CHR station. We expect the cluster combination of the new BOOM and THE BEAT to be a winning one." Spurgeon added, "Transitioning employees is always difficult. We’ve taken every step to ensure our employees are treated fairly and with respect".
